Tucson (Ariz.) Supplemental Retirement System named Aberdeen Asset Management, Arrowstreet Capital and Thornburg Investment Management as finalists to run about $37 million in active international equities, confirmed Allan Bentkowski, investment manager of the $566 million system.
A shortlist search by investment consultant Hewitt EnnisKnupp was conducted as the system seeks a possible replacement for current manager Artio Global Investors, which is on watch for performance, said Mr. Bentkowski in a telephone interview.
Finalist presentations are scheduled for the system's Feb. 23 meeting, and a decision is expected later that day.
Artio spokesman Neil Shapiro did not return a phone call for comment by press time.
