    The money came from a fixed-income strategy that Sierra had been managing, he said.

    Richard F. Halverson, deputy comptroller for the city's pension funds, said each manager received around $300 million, which came primarily from new contributions and the fund's U.S. equity portfolio, as the pension fund rebalances to conform with its target allocations. The pension fund has $23.3 billion in assets.
