The fund will conduct searches for a U.S. large-cap growth equity manager and a global equity manager with a tilt toward either core or value stocks after approving a new asset allocation at its May board meeting.
The $27 million in assets will be used for liquidity purposes.
The plan hired a new international small-cap manager following interviews that included its incumbent.
The terminations were approved amid the plan’s ongoing international equity manager search.
