Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) has approved a total of $285m (€242.8m) in capital commitments to non-core US real estate funds managed by Madison Capital Partners and Ares Management Corporation, as well as a timberland fund managed by Resource Management Service.

The pension fund committed $85m to Marcus Capital Partners Fund V, marking its initial commitment to Madison Capital.

Madison Capital is seeking to raise $850m for the fund, according to SEC filings from July.

The non-core fund will primarily invest in residential and industrial assets along the US East Coast.

Kansas PERS said it has committed $85m to Ares US Real Estate Fund XI. The fund primarily targets industrial and residential assets, as well as some alternative property types, such as student housing and self-storage.

Kansas PERS issued a new $115m commitment to the RMS Evergreen US Forestland Fund, an open-ended fund that owns timberland assets in the Southern US and into which the pension fund first invested $75m in 2017.

According to Kansas PERS, the Forestland Fund has generated a gross rate of return of 8.5% over the trailing five-year period.
