San Joaquin County Employees’ Retirement Association intends to commit up to $50 million across two or three private equity partnerships, according to the institution’s April 2020 Retirement Board meeting agenda. The public pension is aiming to explore commitments that would provide diversification both through vintage year and firm, with approximately $25 million allocated to each investment opportunity.

The $3.22 billion US public pension currently allocates 4.44 percent of its investment portfolio to private equity. The pension fund also invests in assets classes such as infrastructure and private real estate.
