The $3.1 billion Missouri State Employees' Retirement System, Jefferson City, plans to send RFPs to a group of 12 to 16 firms in its search for an emerging markets manager to run about $75 million, said CIO Rick Dahl. Eight managers have been identified so far; firms probably will be contacted within the next month. Candidates receiving RFPs are being identified by consultant Summit Strategies and by fund officials. A list of finalists will be presented to the board June 20.
