The Nebraska Investment Council will pump $120.0 million into noncore real estate on behalf of defined-benefit pension funds in 2018 and looks to do the same in 2019, IPE Real Assets reported, citing a board meeting report from Aon Hewitt Investment Consulting.

The state fund manager is considering investing $40.0 million each in Almanac Realty Investors' Almanac Realty Securities VIII fund, which offers growth capital and resources to companies with private and public real estate operating profiles, and Torchlight Investors' Torchlight Debt Opportunity Fund VI, which invests in high-yield real estate debt, according to the report.
