Real Estate Portfolio: At roughly $20b (target is 10% of the overall portfolio), CalPERS real estate investments are among the most sophisticated and diverse globally. The CalPERS real estate program is comprised of two distinct portfolios.
The Core Portfolio is managed to be broadly diversified by property type and geography, maintain high occupancy, emphasize current income, and exhibit prudent use of leverage. The Core includes four property types: apartment, industrial, office, and retail. These investments are acquired and managed through REITs, separate accounts, partnerships, and limited liability corporations between CalPERS and investment advisory firms. The program has developed partnerships with various external managers whose mandate is to explore new opportunities in various real estate sectors.
The Non-Core Portfolio includes the following property types: national housing, single family housing, senior housing, urban, natural resources (timber and agriculture), technology, opportunistic, and international. Like the Core Portfolio, these investments are acquired and managed through multiple investment vehicles.
The goal of the real estate program is to perform as "the investor of choice" and leverage marketplace opportunities to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns.
