Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System, Des Moines, named BlackRock, Russell Investments and State Street Global Advisors in a search for transition management services, Karl Koch, chief investment officer of the $23.4 billion pension fund, said in an e-mail.
IPERS could select more than one manager, according to an RFP issued in July. BlackRock and SSgA are the incumbents.
IPERS expects to make a decision Thursday.
Wilshire Associates is assisting in the search.
