Illinois Police Officers' Pension Investment Fund
The Illinois Police Officers' Pension Investment Fund was established by state legislation in 2019 and became operational in 2020. Richard White was appointed its first permanent Executive Director. The structure pools assets previously held by separate municipal plans. The fund allocates across public equities, real estate, and private credit. Confirmed holdings include the RhumbLine Russell 1000 Index Fund at approximately 2.93 billion USD, SSgA REITs Index Fund exposure, and Oaktree Global Credit Fund and Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund commitments. Geographic reach covers US markets and non-US developed and emerging equities. Ticket sizes for private market commitments range from 150 million to 450 million USD. Kent Custer serves as Chief Investment Officer and Greg Turk as Deputy CIO. The team maintains relationships with Verus Advisory, Albourne Partners, and State Street as custodian. In September 2024 the fund presented asset transition updates at the IPPFA MidAmerican Pension Conference. Board governance rests with elected trustees drawn from active police officers, including Chair Paul Swanlund. This structure keeps investment oversight tied directly to the contributing membership rather than external appointees.
