Los Angeles Fire and Police Pensions (LAFPP) has renewed its US real estate separate account relationship with Capital Management for another three years.

The current AEW relationship, which manages a 12 property US portfolio valued at $461m (€391.5m), expires on 31 December 2020.

The $25.3bn pension fund said in a meeting document that for a short assessment period of only two and a half years, the “AEW’s portfolio returns has been acceptable, with since inception returns exceeding the benchmark by 47 bps net of fees�.

LAFPP said AEW is currently restructuring the core portfolio by implementing the investment strategy of a diversified income-oriented portfolio in the top 20 metropolitan statistical areas. AEW is finalising one acquisition and one disposal, which will be reported on later in the year, the pension fund said.

â€�Another three-year contract would provide a longer period to assess the success of AEW in transitioning the real estate separate account portfolio as well as managing the board’s assets through a full market cycle,â€� LAFPP said.
