The $267.7 billion pension giant cashed out of $3.8 billion worth of equity investments in March and April alone.
The $260 billion pension giant also allocated $1.6 billion across a variety of investments in March.
More than $400 million of the investment was made within the pension fund’s real estate portfolio.
More than half of the monthly commitments were made within the pension giant’s credit portfolio.
The majority of the month’s investment commitments were earmarked for the pension giant’s real estate portfolio.
