Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC): APFC Private Equity Report: Private Equity Fund Commitments & Direct Investments / Co-Investments, as of December 31, 2025. APFC's quarterly Private Equity report ("Private Equity Fund Commitments & Direct Investments / Co-Investments") lists each fund with only its currency, "Vintage Year" and "Commitment (USD)", shown here in whole US dollars as printed. It reports no contributions, distributions, market value, multiple or IRR per fund, so paid-in, distributed, total value, IRR, TVPI and DPI are blank; nothing is derived or estimated. All 454 entries of the report's "Fund Investments" list are included ($17,570,561,197 committed); 15 have the vintage year "TBD" (blank here) and 45 are commitments in another currency that APFC states in US dollars. The report's separate "Direct Investments / Co-Investments" list (56 entries, $2,792,151,600: portfolio companies, co-investment vehicles and manager stakes) is not imported. The two lists add up to the report's printed Total Commitments of $20,362,712,795. For the whole portfolio, including liquidated investments, the report prints Cumulative Contributions of $20,951,089,446, Cumulative Distributions of $22,493,801,627 and a Remaining Fair Market Value of $15,555,575,745. APFC is a state-owned corporation that manages the Alaska Permanent Fund, not a pension plan; its separate Private Income report is not imported. View source

CalSTRS: CalSTRS Private Equity Portfolio Performance, as of June 30, 2025. Since-inception IRR as calculated by CalSTRS from its own cash flows with each partnership; CalSTRS does not label it net or gross; because it is computed from CalSTRS's own contributions and distributions, it is after the partnership's fees and carried interest. CalSTRS says IRRs in a partnership's first three years are not meaningful. CalSTRS reports no multiple: TVPI = (distributed + market value) / contributed and DPI = distributed / contributed are computed. IRR is blank for commitments with no capital contributed. View source

Ireland Strategic Investment Fund: NTMA Annual Report 2025: ISIF Discretionary Investments, Unquoted Investment Funds, as of December 31, 2025. The National Treasury Management Agency lists every unquoted investment fund the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund holds at the year end with two amounts in millions of euro, a "Commitment" and a "Value" (shown here as the market value); it reports no vintage year, contributions, distributions, multiple or IRR per fund, so those are blank. Dollar amounts are converted: every amount here is the printed euro amount multiplied by 1.1736 US dollars per euro, the Federal Reserve's H.10 foreign exchange rate for 2025-12-31 (federalreserve.gov/releases/h10/hist/dat00_eu.htm), and rounded to the dollar; a commitment made in another currency is printed by the Agency in euro, so it will not convert back to exactly its original amount. The Agency does not say what kind of fund each line is. Of the 162 lines in the list (total value €3,103.88 million), 28 whose own name says property, housing, hotel or logistics, infrastructure or wind and renewable power, debt, credit or mezzanine lending, or forestry are left out, as are 3 lines whose value is withheld as commercially sensitive; the other 131 are included as funds, and some of them invest in energy, housing, land or lending rather than private equity or venture capital. The separate list of unitised funds (hedge and listed-equity funds), the direct private equity holdings, loans and quoted securities in the same report are not imported. View source

North Carolina Retirement Systems (NCRS): NCRS Market Value and Performance Report: NCRS Private Equity Portfolio, as of December 31, 2025. "IRR", "TVPI" and "DPI" as printed in the "NCRS Private Equity Portfolio" table of the calendar-year NCRS Market Value and Performance Report posted by the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer. The report's notes say returns are calculated using the internal rate of return methodology and "are reported net of fees", that TVPI is the ratio of cumulative distributions plus the valuation to cumulative paid-in, and that DPI is the ratio of cumulative distributions to cumulative paid-in. Dollar values are reported in thousands and shown here multiplied by 1,000. The table gives each fund's vintage, market value, commitment, unfunded commitment and distributions, but not contributions, so paid-in capital is blank; total value = distributions + market value is computed. A dash or "N/A" in the IRR or TVPI column is shown as blank (11 funds have no IRR, mostly commitments with little or nothing paid in). All 174 funds in the table are included (buyout, growth, venture, secondaries, co-investment and fund-of-funds vehicles as the Treasurer classifies them), of which 74 carry a liquidation year and no market value; the table's "Stock Distribution" and cash lines ($515,000 of market value) are not funds and are left out. The funds add up to the report's "Total Private Equity Portfolio" row: $6,802,884,000 market value, $16,595,939,000 commitments, $3,799,415,000 unfunded and $15,429,993,000 distributions. The Non-Core Real Estate, Opportunistic Fixed Income, Inflation Sensitive, Core Real Estate and Multi-Strategy tables in the same report are not imported. View source

New Mexico State Investment Council: New Mexico State Investment Council Private Equity Performance Updates: Fund Summaries (Active Funds), as of March 31, 2026. Net IRR and net multiple since inception as printed in the fund summaries of the quarterly performance updates that Mercer prepares for the Council (data source given as Invient), published in the Council's public meeting materials. The fund summaries head the two columns "Net" (Multiple, IRR); their total rows equal the "Net Multiple" and "Net IRR" of active commitments in the reports' dashboards. The net multiple is used as TVPI. The fund summaries give only committed capital, exposure (NAV + unfunded), net multiple and IRR for each fund, so contributions, distributions, total value and DPI are blank; contributions and distributions are reported by program and strategy only. Committed capital is reported in $ millions to one decimal and converted to whole dollars. Vintage year is defined by the reports as the year of the fund's first cash flow. 27 of the newest funds are marked N/A or NM (not defined in the reports) and lack an IRR, a multiple or both. The IRR of The Veritas Capital Fund IX, L.P. is printed as "#######" (not readable) and is blank. Frazier Healthcare Growth Buyout Fund XI, L.P. is printed with a negative multiple, imported as printed. Two reports are combined: the National Private Equity Program (175 active funds, $11,121.7 million committed; 32 Venture Capital, 93 Buyout, 33 Growth, 17 Special Situations) and the Strategic Venture Capital Program and New Mexico Private Equity Investment Program (Legacy) (83 active funds, $2,346.3 million committed; 76 Fund Investments, 5 Co-Investment Funds, 1 Catalyst Fund, 1 Recovery Fund). The second report covers the Council's New Mexico-focused venture and private equity commitments, including its own co-investment, catalyst and recovery vehicles. Active funds only: liquidated and sold funds are reported in aggregate, not by fund. The Private Debt, Real Estate and Real Assets reports in the same materials are not imported. View source

Texas Municipal Retirement System: TMRS Private Investment Performance Since Inception (Private Equity), as of June 30, 2026. "Percentage Return" since inception as printed by TMRS for funds whose "Performance Methodology" is "IRR" (internal rate of return). TMRS does not label the IRR net or gross and does not say how or by whom it is calculated or when it is not meaningful, so IRRs of very young funds are shown as printed; it states that the information has not been prepared or approved by any manager or general partner and may not reflect their records. TMRS prints no multiple: total value = amount received + remaining value, TVPI = total value / amount invested and DPI = amount received / amount invested are computed from the reported whole-dollar columns. TMRS lists the date(s) of investment (the dates its commitments were completed, matching its Completed Investments Report) rather than a vintage year; the year of the earliest date is used as the vintage. 3 commitments are stated in euros and their committed amount is left blank (the invested, received and remaining amounts are in dollars). 9 commitments have nothing invested yet and so no IRR or multiples. 1 funded holding has no IRR because TMRS prints no return, or a time-weighted return, for it. Private Equity section only (as classified by TMRS; it includes venture, growth, buyout, co-investments and separately managed accounts); the Credit, Global Equity, Real Assets, Tactical Opportunities and Multi Asset Class sections are not imported.

UTIMCO (Permanent University Fund): Permanent University Fund Detail Schedules of Investment Securities, Schedule H: Private Investment Funds, as of August 31, 2025. Holdings only: the audited Schedule H lists each private investment fund held by the Permanent University Fund, which UTIMCO manages, with its fair value at the August 31 fiscal year end and nothing else, so vintage year, commitment, contributions, distributions, total value, IRR and multiples are blank (UTIMCO reports none of them here); each fund's fair value is kept as market_value_usd in whole dollars as printed. Fund names are as printed (capitals, abbreviated). Included are the schedule's Private Equity (159 funds), Venture (165) and Emerging Market Equity (29) sections; its Credit, Infrastructure, Natural Resources and Real Estate sections are not imported, and neither are 24 direct investments in the imported sections, which UTIMCO lists only as numbered "Direct Investment" rows because their names are confidential under Texas Government Code 552.143(c). Covers the Permanent University Fund only: UTIMCO publishes no such schedule for the General Endowment Fund, and it provides its fund-level Private Markets performance reports only in answer to an open records request.
