Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) is investing $500m (β¬413m) in infrastructure through Brookfield Asset Management and Harrison Street.
The pension fund is committing $250m to Brookfield Super-Core Infrastructure Partners, $200m to Harrison Street Social Infrastructure Fund and $50m for co-investment opportunities with the latter.
Last month, ΒιΆΉΣ³» Real Assets reported that Oregon PERF had invested $400m in EQTβs latest global infrastructure fund.
Ben Mahon, senior investment officer for alternatives at Oregon State Treasury, told ΒιΆΉΣ³» Real Assets that the investments would βanchorβ the pension fundβs core infrastructure exposure.
He said they were βfollow-on commitments of existing relationshipsβ with Harrison Street and Brookfield that started in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Brookfield and Harrison Street launched both open-ended infrastructure funds last year.
