The $462.8 billion California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) committed a total of $1.25 billion to Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V and DigitalBridge Strategic Assets Fund (DB SAF) in first quarter 2023.
With a $500 million commitment to DB SAF, CalPERS matched its $500 million commitment to DB SAF from last year. Managed by Boca Raton, Fla.-based DigitalBridge, DB SAF is seeking more than $1 billion, reported Bloomberg and will be committed to longer-term investments in digital infrastructure assets, including data centers, fiber networks, macro cell towers, edge infrastructure and small cell networks.
CalPERS made a $750 million commitment to Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V in March. The fund, managed by Brookfield, is seeking $25 billion and will invest in transportation, renewable-power, utilities and data-infrastructure assets across North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific.
As of June 30, 15.2 percent ($70.4 billion) of CalPERS’s portfolio was allocated to real assets investments.
