Why a 3% Allocation Shift Could Cut $300M from CRE Investing

How much damage can a few basis points do?
See slides 4 and 5.

The State of Arizona’s pension fund is cutting its real estate allocation from 18% last year to 15% by 2026.

Twenty years ago, it was just 6%. A few years ago, the target was 20%.

6% → 20% → 15%

On a $60B base.

With projected growth, the move from 18% to 15% means ~$300M less in new real estate investments.

Where’s the capital going? Credit is a common target.

And if Arizona stops investing in real estate altogether, the $10B real estate portfolio could shrink to just $4.4B by 2028.

Takeaway: Tiny shifts in allocation can mean billions in foregone equity.
