Boston Water and Sewer Commission is seeking proposals from investment management firms to run about $4.5 million in an open-end real estate fund for its $90 million pension fund.
NEPC, investment consultant for the commission, is assisting with the search.
The proposed fund should have a gross asset value of at least $500 million as of Dec. 31, a minimum track record of at least three years and at least five existing public pension fund clients.
The RFP can be obtained on NEPC's website. Proposals are due by 4 p.m. EDT on May 28. A selection date was not disclosed.
Will Forde, an analyst at NEPC, could be reached for comment by press time. Maria Gomes, assistant purchasing manager at Boston Water and Sewer Commission, did not return a phone call.
