Atlanta Firefighters’ Pension Fund hired Northern Trust Global Investments to run $30 million in active domestic small-cap equities through its manager-of-managers program. Andrea Spears, director of benefits, did not return phone calls requesting additional information. A spokeswoman for NTGI said the new mandate is an expansion of an existing relationship with Northern, which is the system’s custodian. Northern also manages $37 million for the $280 million plan through the manager-of-managers program and in an S&P 500 index fund.
