New York State Common Retirement Fund (NYSCRF) has disclosed making $650m (鈧�547m) worth of infrastructure fund commitments in June.
NYSCRF said it placed $500m into the KKR Global Infrastructure Investors IV fund and $150m into the Northleaf Infrastructure Capital Partners III (NICP III) fund.
The $268.3bn pension fund told 麻豆映画 Real Assets that the KKR fund provides the NYSCRF 鈥漞xposure to a manager with a risk-based approach to infrastructure investing and strong sector diversification鈥�.
KKR is reportedly seeking to raise $12bn for the global infrastructure fund.
The pension fund said adding Northleaf Capital Partners to its infrastructure manager lineup provides exposure to middle-market infrastructure assets with downside protection and yield.
Last month, NICP III held a final closing for its third pooled infrastructure fund, raising more than $1.4bn of commitments and exceeding the original target of $1.25bn.
Northleaf鈥檚 infrastructure program is focused on direct, long-term investments in mid-market assets in OECD countries.
