Pension fund seeks outperformance by strategies supported by demographics. : Ohio Public Employees Retirement System will target non-core strategies and niche areas of the real estate market in 2018, while selling core assets. The pension fund is looking to outperform the market by focusing on assets that attract less institutional capital and those supported by demographics and other secular trends, according to its 2018 investment plan. One strategy will be to seek to capitalise on changes in housing preferences of ageing baby boomers and maturing millennials.
