    COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, Columbus, will evaluate its real estate investment trust benchmark. Neil Toth, director of investments, said the $55 billion system uses the Standard & Poor's REIT index, but it is seeking a benchmark that "better represents the opportunities in publicly traded real estate."

    The system also is reviewing proposals in its search for a manager to handle active domestic large-cap core equity and another to handle active domestic small-cap core equity portfolios, which will be benchmarked to the Russell 1000 and Russell 2000 indexes. The amounts have not been determined, he said. Funding will come from reducing the plan's $23 billion in internally managed domestic equities. The system is not accepting further proposals for these portfolios.

    System officials plan to make a decision in the fall. Ennis Knupp is assisting.

    World Bank to take look at real estate portfolio

    WASHINGTON - World Bank is reviewing the combined real estate portfolio for its $10.7 billion pension fund and its $900 million medical benefits plan, said Sudhir Krishnamurthi, co-chief investment officer.

    "We will not be stepping up the allocation to the asset class significantly," he said. The review, expected to be completed by the end of this month, instead will help determine how the bank's real estate portfolio should be divided among REITs, open-end funds and other vehicles. The two funds have about 6% of combined total assets in real estate.
