    San Jose (Calif.) Police & Fire Department Retirement Plan has adopted a new asset allocation, eliminating its target allocations to global tactical asset allocation and long/short equities and significantly increasing global core fixed income, among other changes, said recently released board meeting minutes.

    The $3.6 billion pension fund eliminated its 10% target for GTAA, 2% target for long/short equity and 1% for cash, and increased targets for global core fixed income to 20% from 12%, and non-investment-grade fixed income and emerging markets debt to 4% each from 2% each. The pension fund also increased targets for global equity to 34% from 29% and real estate to 8% from 7%, and reduced targets for private debt to 8% from 11%, commodities to 6% from 7% and infrastructure to 2% from 3%. Targets of 8% for private equity and 3% each for global macro strategies and relative value/arbitrage strategies remain unchanged.

    As a result of the changes, the pension fund terminated GTAA managers Aberdeen Standard Investments, Pacific Investment Management Co., Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. and Northern Trust Asset Management from their respective portfolios of $109 million, $103 million, $75 million and $75 million.

    The pension fund also added $60 million to an active global value equity strategy managed by Artisan Partners, giving it $206 million, and $50 million to a passive large-cap equity portfolio managed by Northern Trust Asset Management, giving it $142 million. Also the pension fund added $245 million and $175 million, respectively, to a passive global fixed-income portfolio and passive domestic fixed-income portfolio, both managed by BlackRock, giving the two strategies a total of $282 million and $194 million, respectively.

    The pension fund also removed $85 million from an overlay private debt portfolio managed by Russell Investments, leaving it with $78 million, and added $15 million to an overlay real estate portfolio also managed by Russell, giving it $69 million. The pension fund also removed $45 million from a commodities portfolio managed by Credit Suisse Asset Management, leaving it with $148 million, and $35 million from a passive global infrastructure portfolio managed by Rhumbline Advisers, leaving it with $56 million. Also, the pension fund moved $18 million from its cash account, leaving it with $5 million.

    As of Dec. 31, the actual allocation was 11.6% international equities, 10.1% GTAA, 8.8% global equities, 8.2% private debt, 8% private equity, 7.2% commodities, 7% real estate, 6.9% absolute return, 6.5% global core fixed income, 4.7% emerging markets debt, 4.6% non-investment-grade credit, 4.4% emerging markets equities, 4.2% domestic equities, 3.3% alternative equities, 3% infrastructure and the rest in cash.

    The reasons for the changes were not provided. Prabhu Palani, chief investment officer, could not be immediately reached to provide further information.
