Summary
Washington State Investment Board Private Markets Committee minutes for April 2, 2026 say the committee moved to recommend that the Board invest up to $300 million, plus fees and expenses, in Monarch Capital Partners VII, L.P. The motion was subject to continuing due diligence and final negotiation of terms and conditions, and the minutes state that the motion carried with Treasurer Pellicciotti opposed.
This item uses only committee-recommendation wording. It should not be framed as a completed commitment, Board-level approval, terms being final, or evidence of the fund’s investment merits unless a later official source supports that status.
Why it matters
For due-diligence readers, a public-plan committee recommendation is a useful public marker because it names the vehicle, proposed commitment ceiling, process status, and next-step conditions. It also gives readers a concrete official-source trail to monitor around Monarch Alternative Capital’s private credit / opportunistic investing platform.
The signal is bounded. The WSIB material supports a committee recommendation and Board-agenda item; it does not establish Board-level approval, closing, negotiated terms, performance, risk profile, fund economics, suitability, or whether any reader should allocate to or avoid the strategy.

- Source posture: official public-plan material. The April 2 Private Markets Committee minutes are the controlling source for the recommendation, proposed amount, continuing-due-diligence condition, final-negotiation condition, vote result, and named vehicle.
- Board-material limitation: the April 16 Board content PDF lists the Private Markets Committee Report item for “Innovation Portfolio Investment Recommendation - Monarch Capital Partners VII, L.P.” It is useful status context, but it is not minutes showing Board-level approval.

What to watch
Watch for official WSIB Board minutes, approved meeting minutes, investment reports, or other public-plan materials that confirm whether the Board approved, modified, deferred, or rejected the committee recommendation.
