Allocations span private equity via Horsley Bridge Partners, Pantheon and Centerbridge, real estate through UBS Trumbull Property Fund, RREEF America REIT II, Harrison Street Core Property Fund and Principal Real Estate, plus private credit exposure to Oaktree Capital Management and Barings. Geographic reach covers the United States and select global secondaries. The plan maintains limited partner positions in multiple vintages of these vehicles. Assets total $473 million. Service providers include CliftonLarsonAllen as auditor, Cheiron as actuary, Callan as investment consultant and Northern Trust as custodian. In June 2025 the plan sponsored a water efficiency campaign at Red Rocks.
