City of Tampa Employees' Retirement Fund hired Taplin, Canida & Habacht as its second fixed-income manager during yesterday's board meeting, said Paul Broughton, accountant at the $360 million fund.
Taplin was hired to complement existing bond manager Madison Investment Advisors' conservative management style, he said. The firm will handle about half of the $80 million Madison Investment Advisors now manages.
Sandra Morelli of Mercer assisted.
