Summary
BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts has won an additional US$600 million alternatives mandate from the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS), according to Citywire. The new allocation is based on a significant risk transfer (SRT) strategy, a structure in which banks transfer credit risk on loan portfolios to investors, freeing up regulatory capital.
The coverage describes the award as a further mandate, indicating that the pension fund had already been invested with the manager before this allocation. Headlines from the publisher characterise the decision as the pension fund "doubling down" on SRTs, suggesting a deliberate expansion of its exposure to this asset class rather than a one-off commitment.
The reported mandate sits alongside other recent BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts activity referenced in related coverage, including the closing of a junior infrastructure debt fund at EUR 1.2 billion. These sources do not provide full details of the ASRS mandate's structure, timing, or fee terms, and the original article could not be retrieved, so the summary is limited to the headline-level facts available.
