Orange County Employees Retirement System (OCERS) is planning to invest up to $225m (鈧184.3m) in real estate in the fiscal 2022 year beginning in July.

According to the $19.5bn pension fund鈥檚 meeting document, all of the proposed capital will be invested in non-core funds.

A part of the investment plan during the period could including topping up commitments to existing managers in the pension fund鈥檚 portfolio.

OCERS also plans to further explore niche investment opportunities that are expected to generate 鈥渙utsized risk-adjusted returns鈥 or provide a level of diversification to the portfolio.
