The $478m Firemen’s Retirement System of St. Louis has issued an RFP seeking an investment consultant, with the goal of choosing a firm by March 2019.

The retirement system has a target allocation to hedge funds of 10%. An actuarial report from 30 September 2017, the most recent available, showed an actual allocation of 17.3%, or roughly $83.5m based on the $484.4m fair market value of all investments at the time.

AJO Partners managed $34.4m in an emerging markets fund, EnTrustPermal managed $22.3m in a multi-strategy fund and Magnitude Capital managed $26.8m in a multi-strategy fund.
