Board Begins Search for New Investment Consultant

At its March meeting, the process and timeline for choosing a new investment consultant to the board was approved. The search timeline calls for requests for proposals to be issued in March 2009, with selection of a new investment consultant by the board in October 2009. The firm or firms chosen will serve as a consultant to the board in three key areas: financial assets (equities and fixed income, as well as overall asset allocation), real estate assets and alternative investments.

Note: When STRS Ohio was accepting proposals from interested parties for the investment consultant to the board, (March 15–April 15, 2009,), this story contained a link to the PDF version of the request for proposal documents.
