- Name: Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System
- HQ: Harrisburg, US
- AUM: $76.0 billion
- Allocations to alternatives: 30%
The Board of the Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System has authorized staff, through an emergency procurement, to initiate the request-for-proposal process for an investment consultant, according to the pension’s latest board meeting materials.
The chosen firm will perform investment consulting services across all asset classes, including investment, performance measurement, risk and attribution services.
In October, the board motioned to retain Aksia as the private markets and back office services investment consultant. In 2017, PSERS gave Hamilton Lane a $7 million, five-year contract to help find alternative investments not sold on the stock market. Over the past five years, the fund has also paid $3.5 million to Aon for “general investment consulting.”
It is unknown whether these services are still maintained with the new RFP arrangement.
PSERS currently allocates 7 percent of its total investment portfolio to private real estate, totaling $5.32 billion in capital. As illustrated below, the pension’s recent private real estate commitments have focused on North American value-add vehicles that invest into the industrial sector.
