At the state investment advisory council's April 23 meeting, Shawn T. Wooden, state treasurer and principal fiduciary of the pension plan, said he is considering committing up to $150 million to Rockpoint Real Estate Fund VI, a value-added real estate fund managed by Rockpoint Group, and $100 million to Altaris Health Partners V, a middle-market health-care private equity fund managed by Altaris Capital Partners.
