At its meeting on July 27, 2016, the Board of Retirement approved the hire of Quantitative Management Associates (QMA) for a Small-Cap Core mandate with an initial investment of $110 million.

The Board also approved the shift of SamCERA’s current commodity exposure (approximately $85-90 million) to a new custom liquid real asset strategy managed by State Street Global Advisors (SSGA).

Additionally, the Board approved a $10 million capital commitment to Angeles Equity Partners I, L.P., as part of SamCERA’s allocation to private equity.

No further board action was taken related to SamCERA’s investment commitments or hires.
