The Maine Public Employees’ Retirement System has committed $175 million across two alternative funds.

**New Investments**

$50 million was allocated to private equity fund, GTCR Fund XIV. In addition, $125 million was allocated to SLR Private Corporate Lending Fund II, a private credit fund managed by SLR Capital Partners.

The commitments were approved at the November 10 board meeting. 

**Consultant Hires**

The board also approved hiring Albourne as private markets consultant with a focus on infrastructure, natural resources, and real estate. Cliffwater was also hired for private markets consulting services with a focus on alternative credit and private equity.
