Real Estate
The retirement system is conducting its first real estate search in over 10 years.
The firm will manage an initial $150 million allocation for the fund.
A trust fund based in a Western state has approved the addition of a private equity fund-of-one, a real estate strategy and a custom, multi-asset alternative mandate to its portfolio.
The commitments include three new manager relationships for the pension plan.
The retirement system hired two firms to manage its 51% private markets portfolio.
The retirement plan hired several managers to move toward its new asset allocation policy.
The retirement fund is scheduled to hear proposed real estate and infrastructure pacing plans at next week’s investment committee meeting.
The search is open to real estate debt, opportunistic and value-add funds.
The two commitments were made for pacing purposes.
The retirement fund terminated a fixed-income manager and made commitments totaling $2.9 billion in March.
