As of Sept. 30, 2023, 10 percent ($4.868 billion) of IMRF’s $48.922 billion portfolio was allocated toward private real assets.
Private real assets generated a -3.43 percent return in 2023 for IMRF, with real estate returning -4.15 percent, agriculture -8.09 percent, timberland 26.14 percent and unlisted infrastructure 16.38 percent.
