Note: Sub-asset category (e.g., Public Equity) figures reflect working targets. Investment Management Firm has flexibility to adjust sub-asset category exposures within broader, asset category (e.g., Global Equity) ranges, based on market conditions and ongoing research.
Global Equity – The allocation will consist of public and private equity-oriented funds managed by external investment firms. This is expected to be the highest risk, highest return asset category of the four, and the primary driver of portfolio growth over time. The allocation will be diversified by factors including security, sector, geography, market capitalization, and manager style. Private equity investments will be made with the expectation that long-term returns materially exceed those of the public markets.
Fixed Income –The allocation will consist of obligations of sovereign nations and corporations, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, money market instruments, and bank deposits. The allocation will consist of two broad categories: 1) public fixed income and 2) private credit. The primary role of the public fixed income portfolio is to provide a partial hedge in the event of economic contraction, deflation, and/or severe flight to safety/quality. It is expected that this portion of the portfolio would serve as one of the primary sources of spending during such periods, when the prices of other assets in the portfolio may decline. Therefore, while the public fixed income allocation may include some investments rated below investment-grade, it is generally expected to have a high quality rating on average (typically “A” or better by a recognized bond rating agency). The private credit allocation may include obligations of any credit quality and is expected to generate long-term returns that materially exceed those of the public credit markets.
Real Assets – The allocation will consist of public and private assets. Public real assets may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Master Limited Partnerships
