The Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ARTRS) has committed $50 million to KKR Real Estate Partners Americas (KKR REPA) IV.
KKR REPA IV is managed by KKR and is seeking to raise $4 billion to invest opportunistically in diversified real estate opportunities in the United States.
ARTRS has invested in other funds managed by KKR, including a $25 million and a $50 million commitment to KKR Diversified Core Infrastructure Fund in 2022 and 2021, respectively, and a $50 million commitment to KKR Global Infrastructure Investors II in 2014. This is ARTRS’s first investment in a KKR real estate fund, according to IREI.Q.
As of Sept. 30, 7.6 percent ($1.52 billion) of ARTRS’s $20 billion portfolio was allocated toward real estate, below ARTRS’s 10 percent target allocation for the asset class.
