The plan interviewed three finalists in closed session at yesterday’s board meeting.
The plan also recently concluded its non-U.S. equity manager searches.
The plan also terminated a high-yield fixed-income manager in the first quarter.
The deferred compensation plan replaced its underperforming domestic small-cap growth equity manager in the first quarter.
The plan is looking for providers for its approximately $85 billion index portfolio.
The retirement system will look to hire three emerging markets equity managers later this month amid a portfolio restructuring.
