The $13.3 billion Augusta-based pension fund approved commitments of up to $50 million to Meridiam Infrastructure North America Fund III and up to $45 million to Onex Partners V, a private equity fund managed by Onex Corp., at its board meeting on June 8.
The commitments are subject to due diligence, legal review and negotiations.
