Sacramento County Employees Retirement System (SCERS) is following guidance by the County and State authorities in implementing a “work from home program” during the coronavirus pandemic.  While the Alternatives Asset Consultant RFP remains a high priority, the evaluation process has been delayed into the second half of 2020 as SCERS works through the effects of COVID-19. We will contact you when we have a more definitive timeline.

Please stay healthy in these uncertain times.

SCERS is issuing this RFP to evaluate the marketplace for consulting to assist in the further development and ongoing monitoring of SCERS’ maturing alternatives portfolio, which includes the Absolute Return, Private Credit, Private Equity, Real Assets, and Opportunities asset classes.  While SCERS would prefer one consultant to cover all of the aforementioned asset classes, potential consultants may express interest in the entire mandate or specific asset classes within the mandate. The dedicated alternative assets consultant will act as a fiduciary to SCERS and work closely with SCERS’ Staff, SCERS’ Board and SCERS’ existing general consultant, and real estate consultant.    

All responses must be received by March 6, 2020, 5 PM PST
