Summary
San Joaquin County Employees' Retirement Association received an infrastructure allocation recommendation from its investment consultant, Meketa, according to Infrastructure Investor's report by John Eliscu published October 21, 2025. Meketa proposed establishing a 5 percent target allocation to infrastructure, creating a dedicated sub-allocation within SJCERA's "Aggressive Growth" portfolio.
The proposal aligns with SJCERA's stated asset allocation objective of attaining a 6.75 percent long-term target return while reducing global public equity risk. Publisher context indicates that SJCERA has allocated to infrastructure for some time, and the new target allocation would establish a formal sub-allocation within Aggressive Growth rather than an entirely new exposure.
Separate publisher coverage reports that SJCERA approved a new allocation policy introducing infrastructure as a standalone 5 percent asset class and trimming its crisis risk offset to 10 percent. The $5.4 billion pension fund has also recently added real estate and credit funds to its alternative asset program, according to its prior coverage.
The article is brief and focused on the consultant recommendation; it does not disclose manager selection, commitment size, or implementation timing.
