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
State of Michigan Retirement System (SMRS): State of Michigan Investment Board Report: SMRS Private Equity, Net Market Value by Entity, as of December 31, 2025. The State of Michigan Investment Board lists each private equity entity with only two amounts, an "Adjusted Reported Value" (shown here as the market value, in whole dollars as printed) and an "Unfunded Commitment" (not shown). It reports no commitment amount, contributions, distributions, vintage year, multiple or IRR per fund, so committed, paid-in, distributed, total value, IRR, TVPI and DPI are blank; nothing is derived or estimated. The report does not define how the reported value is adjusted. Every entity in the Private Equity table is included as classified by the Board (buyout, growth, venture, secondaries, co-investment and separate-account vehicles); the Real Estate and Infrastructure, Real Return and Opportunistic, and Absolute Return tables are not imported. The entities add up to the Board's printed Total of $24,750,150,762 reported value and $7,378,170,291 unfunded; its "Short Term Investments and Other" and "Income Accruals" lines are not funds and are left out. 4 entities are marked by the Board as new commitments made during the quarter.

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.
