Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) has disclosed approving a $75m (€66m) commitment to TA Realty Value-Add Fund XIII, TA Realty’s latest US value-add real estate fund.
It is currently unknown how much capital TA Realty intends to raise for the latest fund.
TA Realty raised $1.2bn for the predecessor fund which closed in March 2020.
The fund manager’s value-add fund series is known for investing in industrial, office, multifamily and grocery-anchored shopping centres in major US markets.
TA Realty declined a request for comment.
IMRF also disclosed that it has decided to move its real estate portfolio into its real asset portfolio which includes agriculture, infrastructure and timberland.
“The risk/return profiles of agriculture, timberland and infrastructure better align with real estate in comparison to private equity/private credit,” the $56.8bn pension fund told IPE Real Assets.
According to IMRF, real estate – which has no allocation target within the private real assets portfolio – is expected to be the majority and dominant asset class in the real assets portfolio.
The allocation for real assets is 10.5%.
