Alameda County Employees' Retirement Association, Oakland, Calif....

Alameda County Employees’ Retirement Association, Oakland, Calif., hired Brandywine Asset Management to run $210 million in global fixed income, subject to fee negotiations. If the parties fail to agree on fees, the $3.6 billion pension fund’s second choice is Bridgewater Associates, according to minutes of the Oct. 12 investment committee meeting. The move into global fixed income is a first for the fund, and stems from a new asset allocation decided late last year.
