The month of October saw four US public pension systems disclose 2027 pacing plans totaling roughly $1.51B in target commitments, of which private credit drew the largest allocation at $1.07B, followed by private equity ($230M), real estate ($190M), and real assets ($18M).

Alongside this, Dakota tracked 17 institutional searches this month from US and European LPs, representing at least $845M in disclosed mandates. Of these, 11 remain open, while six have since closed, including an index manager search from Massachusetts-based Dukes County Contributory Retirement System, alongside investment consultant and advisory searches from North Attleboro Contributory, Shelby County Retirement, Fairfax County ERS, the New York State ORDA, and Italian pension Cassa Dottori Commercialisti.

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.
