Texas Teachers searching for consultants, private equity manager

The Texas Teacher Retirement System, Austin, plans to search for domestic and international private equity consultants, a strategic real estate consultant and a private equity fund-of-funds manager, said Howard Goldman, communications director. The $77 billion system's alternative assets committee and board of trustees on Monday directed the alternative assets staff to draft RFPs for the domestic and international private equity consultants and RFQs for the fund-of-funds manager and real estate consultant. The drafts will be considered at a future meeting of the alternative assets committee and then sent to the full board for approval to issue them. Other details have not been finalized.
