San Bernardino (Calif.) County Employees' Retirement Association named Mazama, William Blair, Delaware Investments and Harris Investment Management as finalists in its search for a manager to run $150 million in active domestic small-cap growth equities, said Don Pierce, investment officer. The $4.5 billion fund's board is expected to choose a manager at its Dec. 13 meeting. Funding will come from the portfolio's former manager, Nicholas-Applegate, which was terminated for performance earlier this year.
