Real Assets
Managers are launching new open-end real assets funds as competition is increasing in most strategy types and firms that offer more investor-friendly fees and terms can be more competitive in searches, according to a new study.
The pension plan expects to issue an RFP to potentially replace a terminated core real estate manager next year.
The plan adopted a new asset allocation mix at its board meeting yesterday.
The retirement system expects to launch an emerging markets small-cap search before the end of the year and a broad emerging markets search next year.
The $80 million committed to non-core infrastructure funds at today’s meeting conclude the retirement fund’s pacing plan for 2024.
The plan will look to hire five firms after launching a search in January.
The plan will commit a total of $1.2 billion to the asset classes next year.
The plan reduced its international small-cap equity portfolio to two managers from three at last week’s board meeting.
The plan placed an emerging markets equity manager on watch for performance reasons.
The plan also disclosed several alternatives commitments approved at a board meeting today.
