Alaska Retirement plans infrastructure manager search

The $21.6 billion Alaska Retirement Management Board (ARMB) is conducting a search for one or more infrastructure managers. Both private and public investment strategies will be considered.

The pension fund has approximately $108 million invested in energy infrastructure, which is part of ARMB’s real assets portfolio. Its real assets portfolio also includes real estate, timber and agriculture holdings.

The mandate allocates $100 million to the sector in core infrastructure investments. ARMB will be conducting the search along with its investment consultant, Callan Associates. Initial results are expected to be presented to the pension manager's board in June 2013. An RFP has not been posted.
