The New Mexico State Investment Council has approved the addition of a life sciences private equity fund and an asset-based financing evergreen fund to its investment portfolio. With $54 billion in assets, the state fund has been reducing its active private equity commitments, with only $100 million remaining in its national private equity portfolio.
