The Arkansas Teacher Retirement System is considering two alternative investments totaling up to $80 million.

A $30 million commitment to the Post Road Special Opportunity Fund III was recommended at the September 25 meeting. The private credit investment was recommended by pension staff and Franklin Park assisted with due diligence.

In real assets, $50 million was recommended for the EnCap Energy Transition Fund II. Townsend assisted with the recommendation for the infrastructure fund.

As of June 30, 2023, the $20.7 billion TRS has an actual and target allocation to Opportunistic/Alternatives of 5% and 4.8% respectively. The actual and target allocation to real assets was 12.3% and 12.6% respectively.
