Asset Allocation
The PERA Board determines the strategic asset allocation policy for the fund. The PERA Board’s policy specifies the desired target allocation for each asset class as well as the ranges within which each asset class may operate. The PERA Board commissioned an asset/liability study during 2024, which resulted in the approval of the following policy benchmark weights and ranges, since January 1, 2025:
| Asset Class | Policy Benchmark Weight | Long-Term Target Allocation | Permissible Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Equity | 51.0% | 51% | 45% to 57% |
| Fixed Income | 23.0% | 23% | 18% to 28% |
| Private Equity | 10.0% | 10% | 5% to 15% |
| Real Estate | 10.0% | 10% | 5% to 15% |
| Alternatives | 6.0% | 6% | 1% to 11% |
| Cash | 0.0% | 0% | 0% to 3% |
