The university is planning to conduct a strategic asset allocation study later this year after it terminated a global bond mandate and reallocated the funds to short-term bond and growth equity funds this month.
Plan will interview three firms at a future board meeting.
Plan is seeking private debt managers to each handle an up to $100 million mandate and approved new asset allocation policies last week.
