The State Universities Retirement System of Illinois has hired Nipun Capital and William Blair for Emerging Market Equity mandates. 

According to a press release, the Board voted to retain Nipun Capital and William Blair at the September 16 meeting. 

Assets will be split equally between Nipun and William Blair, with funding coming from the liquidation of the State Street Emerging Markets Index fund.
