As of Sept. 30, the trust fund had $71 million invested with Heitman and $21 million invested with Angelo, Gordon & Co.
Funding source information was unavailable. Other finalists were AEW Capital Management and Invesco.
Phone calls to Young Boozer, state treasurer, and Glenda Allred, deputy treasurer, were not returned by press time.
