The Howard County Master Trust reviewed their 2024 private markets pacing plan at the February Board meeting. 

In a presentation from investment consultant NEPC, it was recommended that a total of $74 million in new commitments be targeted across the private markets portfolio. 

$40 million is expected to be allocated to Private Equity, $13 million to Real Estate, $6 million to Real Assets, and $15 million to Private Debt. 

As of December 31, 2023, the $1.48 billion pension fund allocates approximately 2.7% to private debt with a target of 5%, in private equity, approximately 13.5% is allocated with a target of 13%, and approximately 5.1% is allocated to real assets with a target of 6%.
