The end of 2025 shaped up to be an active period for institutional searches, with Dakota tracking a series of RFPs that collectively represent well over $12.7B in potential allocations across public equities, fixed income, and global strategies including real estate, private credit, and infrastructure.

Among the searches were several multi-billion-dollar mandates, including $5B in total searches across public equities and fixed income from Ircantec, a $3.4B public equities and fixed income search from the European Central Bank, and a $3B fixed income RFP issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. In addition to these headline searches, sizable mid-range mandates included a $500M global/international equities RFP from the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund, while Cook County Annuity and Benefit Fund is pursuing $350M in public equities and fixed income strategies.
