Champaign, IL – The State Universities Retirement System (SURS) Board of Trustees, during their meetings March 6 and 7, approved adjustments to asset allocation targets. This approval also gives SURS staff the discretion to implement the updated policy targets by transitioning assets as needed from stocks to bonds. These changes were based on the recommendation from SURS staff and Meketa. This chart details the approved changes:

Strategic Class	Current Long-Term Target (%)	NEW Long-Term Target (%)
Traditional Growth	35	30
Stabilized Growth	17	23
Non-Traditional Growth	16	19
Inflation Sensitive	5	0
Principal Protection	10	8
Crisis Risk Offset	17	20

SURS believes that an appropriately diversified strategic allocation policy is the primary policy tool for maximizing the investment program’s long-term return in light of its risk profile.

An implementation plan will be discussed at the April board meeting.
