San Joaquin County Employees Retirement Association (CERA) plans to commit a total of $130m (€112.1m) to real estate in 2026.

Meketa Investment Group disclosed in the $4.67bn pension fund’s meeting document that next year’s plan involves issuing two to three commitments to non-core closed-end real estate funds.

The investment consultant highlighted self-storage and manufactured housing, which can be easily aggregated; data centre development with long-term, high-credit leases; and build-to-suit medical office properties near top hospitals in busy suburbs as areas with current opportunities.

San Joaquin County has set a new sub-allocation for infrastructure within its aggressive growth assets portfolio, moving the target from zero to 5% of the portfolio.
