The plan is seeking diverse-owned firms to handle short-term TIPS and long-term U.S. government bond managers to preferably run the allocations in passive or enhanced index strategies.
The plan replaced both its passive equity and fixed-income mandates with Vanguard Group as well as its sustainable equity mandate with Neuberger Berman in February.
The university is considering adding a U.S. Treasury bond strategy to two of its portfolios after creating a maiden 5% target to Treasuries in both portfolios last quarter.
The recommended changes include introducing a 5% target to private debt and restructuring the plan’s U.S. fixed-income and both U.S. and non-U.S. equity portfolios.
