Wichita (Kan.) Retirement Funds hired Capital Guardian to manage an active international equity portfolio and Oechsle for an EAFE commingled fund; the amount of the investments was not disclosed. Robert Lancaster, pension manager for the $861 million plan, declined to comment on the funding source.
In an August edition of P&I Daily, city treasurer Carla Palmer said the plan was searching for an international manger to handle $80 million, replacing an unidentified manager in the same asset class. According to the Money Market Directory, Scudder Kemper and Brinson are the plan’s international equity managers.
Callan assisted.
