The San Mateo County Employees’ Retirement Association has narrowed the Emerging markets Debt search to two firms, Eaton Vance and Franklin Templeton.

The $6 billion Retirement Association and their consultant, Verus, previously sent an RFI to an initial list of eight investment managers for the search

The expected investment size is $60 million.

Further due diligence will be conducted on the Eaton Vance Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Strategy and the Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Debt Opportunities Strategy before a recommendation is made.
