Bristol County Retirement System commits to open-ended Oaktree, TA Realty funds

Bristol County (Mass.) Retirement System has invested a total of $16 million in two open-ended real estate funds.

The pension fund put $8 million each in Oaktree Real Estate Income Fund, managed by Oaktree Capital Management; and TA Realty Logistics Fund, managed by TA Realty. This follows an RFP launched in October 2021 in search of a core-plus open-end real estate fund allocation.

Oaktree Real Estate Income Fund opened to investors in 2017. The fund will focus primarily on value-added and core-plus investments generating higher current income, primarily in U.S. markets.

TA Realty Logistics Fund opened to investors in July 2021 and aims to invest in logistics properties.
