Oregon Public Employees Reviews PE Portfolio, Eyes $3B Pacing for 2025

The Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund plans to allocate up to $3 billion to private equity in 2025, following a review of its 2024 portfolio performance.

According to materials related to its January 22 board meeting, the pension aims to commit between $2.5B to $3.5B across 10 to 15 private equity upper-middle market buyout funds. The pension also disclosed that co-investments will represent approximately 20% of the pacing. Staff said the structure would provide “high probability of meeting return objectives,” specifically to outperform the Russell 3000 index by 3% each year, while balancing exposures within its private equity mix. 

Oregon averaged $250M in allocations per fund last year, totalling $2.4B with evergreen commitments, representing 45 GP relationships within a diversified portfolio. As of yearend 2024, private equity accounts for approximately 26.5% of the pension’s total composite plan, or $26.6B in asset value.
