Teachers Retirement System (TRS) of the State of Illinois is investing $100m (€83m) alongside the $20bn Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV fund.
The pension fund said it has approved the capital to the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV Renewable Sidecar-B sidecar fund.
The pension fund told IPE Real Assets that investment ”opportunities within the renewable sector of infrastructure have been growing over time and this strategy fits within the system’s existing strategic plan and risk profile”.
Last year, TRS Illinois Teachers approved a $250m commitment to Brookfield Fund IV, a fund seeking investments in renewable, transportation, utilities, energy and data assets.
