Orange County has decided to redeem its $64.1m investment in the UBS AgriVest Farmland Fund. This move is part of the pension fund's strategy to reduce its real assets target weighting.

The pension fund, Orange County Employees Retirement System (OCERS), has been an investor in the fund since 2010. OCERS has been reducing its allocation to real assets, aiming to move its agriculture allocation to zero.

The pension fund's real assets portfolio still has a 3% allocation to infrastructure and 2% for energy. OCERS has made its first new real assets investment in 2020 with a $75m commitment to the Stonepeak Infrastructure Fund IV.

It's worth noting that OCERS expects to file a request for its investment redemption at the end of the month. The pension fund will have to wait for the fund's redemption queue to clear, which is expected to take some time.
