FUNDRAISING NEWS | May 08, 2023
The California State Teachers’ Retirement System is reducing their Global Equity target allocation by 4% to 38% of the fund.
As a result, the target to Private Equity increased to 14% from 13% and the Inflation Sensitive target allocation increased from 6% to 7%. According to meeting materials, the increases to Private Equity and Inflation Sensitive “support investments in the Sustainable Investments & Stewardship Strategies (SISS) portfolio and supports CalSTRS’ Net Zero strategy” and will “provide further opportunity to provide improved risk-adjusted returns through the Collaborative Model.”
In addition, the Fixed Income target allocation was increased by 2% to 14% of the fund. The 2% increase will develop the Private Credit Direct Lending strategy. “The shift from Global Equity to Direct Lending provides a small reduction in Economic Growth risk, adding a modest diversification benefit”.
