State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) has approved to lower its real estate target allocation from 8% to 7%, according to a meeting document.

The $147.3bn pension fund has also increased its private equity/debt from 11% to 12%.

The pension fund told Âé¶¹Ó³»­ Real Assets in October that “the recommendation change is driven by the current market values across asset classes and pacing assumptions for future capital deploymentâ€�.

As of the third quarter of the year, SWIB’s real estate portfolio was valued at $9bn or 6.9% of the total plan. The targeted range allowed for real estate is 5% to 11%.

SWIB has issued a $47m (€41.5m) commitment to the Campus at SGV Venture. This capital is being used to acquire a core office building in the greater Los Angeles market. MetLife Investment Management, the manager of the separate account investment, declined a request for comment.

SWIB also reveal in the meeting document that it made a $15m investment into its private debt portfolio to target US distribution/cold storage portfolio opportunities.
