Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) has voted to change its strategic asset allocation framework effective from July, according to a recent press release on the pension’s website. The change means that TRS has increased its target allocation for real estate from 14.0 percent to 15.0 percent, with its current allocation to the asset class standing at 12.0 percent.
“Revising the Trust’s asset allocation is important because it represents the risk-return strategy by which TRS diversifies its portfolio” said TRS Executive Director Brian Guthrie.
There have also been adjustments for other alternative asset classes. For private equity, the target allocation has risen from 13.0 to 14.0 percent. For investments within energy, natural resources and infrastructure the target allocation has risen from 5.0 percent to 6.0 percent.
As illustrated in the charts below, TRS has made twelve commitments to real estate vehicles with a 2019 vintage, which combined constitute $2.37 billion.
