Montana Board of Investments has made a $200m (€169.7m) commitment to Walton Street Capital’s open-ended US real estate debt fund.

The pension fund disclosed in a board meeting document that the commitment to the Walton Street Real Estate Debt Core Fund is split equally, with $100m provided by the Consolidated Asset Pension Pool and $100m by the Trust Funds Investment Pool.

The Walton Street debt fund plans to provide debt for a variety of asset classes across the US, with housing types such as multifamily and student living making up a significant portion of the fund.

The fund will also target the industrial, self-storage and grocery-anchored retail sectors.

Walton Street Capital declined a request for comment.
