The Teacher Retirement System (TRS) of Texas has made a €30m real estate commitment to PIMCO, marking the first time the pension fund has partnered with the investment manager in this role.
Âé¶¹Ó³» Real Asset understands that the investment will be structured as a fund-of-one between TRS of Texas and the manager. All capital for the separate account will be allocated to European real estate, with a focus on opportunistic investments.
PIMCO declined a request for comment.
The PIMCO commitment was one of two real estate investments the pension fund said it made last month. The other was a $50m commitment to CSF Asset Management’s CSF IV fund, which targets opportunistic US real estate.
TRS of Texas has allocated $100m (€96.2m) to its energy, natural resources and infrastructure portfolio, by committing the capital to the Oaktree Olorin Investment Fund.
The vehicle managed by Oaktree Capital Management invests in value-add assets within the US.
