The Comptroller of the City of New York, on behalf of the New York City retirement systems, pension funds, and variable supplements funds (the "Systems") requests proposals for Economically Targeted Investment Programs. The Systems' ETI objectives are to provide the funds a market rate of return that is commensurate with the risk assumed, to fill capital gaps in NYC, i.e. invest in underserved markets, and to provide specific quantitative and/or qualitative benefits to New York City and, in particular, its low-, moderate- and middle-income communities and populations. Collateral benefits may include housing rehabilitation or creation, economic development or job creation. The Comptroller, on behalf of the Systems is issuing this RFP to identify and select new ETI programs and investments. - See more at: http://comptroller.nyc.gov/forms-n-rfps/rfps-n-solicitations/#sthash.xYB1vf1a.dpuf
