San Antonio To Make Alternative Commitments?

The $1.7 billion San Antonio Fire & Police Pension Fund recently discussed a possible private equity commitment of $30 million to Aldus Equity Partners, according to the agenda for the fund’s Nov. 28 board meeting, reported Investment Management Weekly, a sister publication to Merger Mogul. The results of the discussion are unclear, however, as calls to Warren Schott, executive director and CIO of the plan, were not returned by press time. According to its Web site, the plan currently has an allocation of 6.3% to alternative investments, along with .6% in cash, 17.9% in domestic fixed-income, 18.1% in international equity, 6.9% in real estate, 12.5% in small-cap equity, 9.5% in hedge funds, 6.3% in global fixed-income and 21.9% in large-cap equity. Nelson’s MarketPlaceWeb.com lists Smith Barney Consulting Group as the plan’s general consultant.
