In July, six US public pensions disclosed 2026 and 2027 pacing plans totaling $7.7B in target commitments, with private credit and private equity drawing the largest allocations at roughly $2.9B and $2.4B, respectively, followed by real estate, real assets, and venture capital.

On the search front, Dakota is tracking 15 open RFPs from 10 institutional allocators, representing at least $178.5M in disclosed mandates. Three other searches captured during the month have since closed: ENPAPI's UCITS SICAV equity management mandate, Bristol County Retirement System's $32M global multi-sector fixed income manager search, and Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois' international equity products search, which covers multiple mandates managing a portion of TRS's roughly $32B public equity portfolio.

Below, we break down these recently disclosed pacing plans informing capital deployment this year, alongside searches that are still active and those that are expected to come to market in the months ahead.
