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
CalPERS: CalPERS Private Equity Program Fund Performance, as of December 31, 2025. Net IRR and investment multiple as reported by CalPERS. N/M (not meaningful) for funds in early years is shown as blank. View source
Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii (HIERS): HIERS Private Equity Partnerships: Performance Summary by Investment, as of March 31, 2026. ERS posts a quarterly "Performance Summary by Investment" of its private equity partnerships in which only "Capital Committed", "Paid-In Capital" and "Reported Market Value" (with the date of that value) are filled in; the Capital Distributed, Remaining Cost, Net IRR and TVM columns are empty in the published version. So committed, paid-in and market value are shown, in whole US dollars as printed, and distributed, total value, IRR, TVPI and DPI are blank; nothing is derived or estimated. The report says paid-in capital includes both commitment and non-commitment reducing capital calls, that cash flows are HIERS' actual cash paid and received, and that market values reflect HIERS' unrealized interest in each investment. "Vintage Year" is as printed. All 371 investments are included as ERS classifies them by strategy (61 Buyout - Large, 42 Buyout - Mega, 59 Buyout - Mid, 13 Buyout - Small, 3 Co/Direct Investment, 6 Distressed Debt, 40 Growth Equity, 10 Mezzanine, 2 Secondaries, 10 Special Situations, 125 Venture Capital), in the report's blocks: Core (334), Stafford Capital Management - 1 (8), Stafford Capital Management - 2 (11), Stafford Capital Management - 3 (17), Stafford Ho'oulu Fund (1); the Stafford Capital Management blocks list the partnerships held through the Hawaii Targeted Investment Program funds (HiTIP I, II and III) that ERS's Holdings page also reports separately. They add up to the printed Grand Total of $8,371,769,464 committed, $6,707,086,129 paid in and $5,197,639,074 reported market value. 114 investments have no remaining value (liquidated, or not yet called), shown as 0; 9 others carry a value dated before the report date. Each page of the report carries the legend "Institutional Use Only/Not for Public Use | Proprietary and Confidential"; this is the version ERS itself posts on its Holdings page. ERS's separate private credit, real assets and timber reports are not imported. View source
Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois (TRS): TRS Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, fiscal year 2025: Investment Assets Under Management, Private Equity, as of June 30, 2025. TRS lists each private equity partnership with one amount, its "Assets" at the fiscal year end, in the schedule "Investment Assets Under Management" of its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (shown here as the market value, in whole dollars as printed). 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. All 263 entries under the schedule's "Private Equity" heading are included as TRS classifies them (buyout, growth, venture, co-investment and separately managed vehicles; 53 are "Annex" entries that TRS lists separately beside a fund of the same manager); the Public Equity, Real Assets, Income and Diversifying Strategies groups are not imported. The entries add up to $12,776,014,572, which equals the fair value of private equity partnerships in the notes to the report's financial statements ($12,776,014,570). The schedule's own note says it does not include managers terminated before June 30, 2025 with residual assets in the account. 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
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.

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
Orange County Employees Retirement System (OCERS): OCERS Private Equity Portfolio Summary, as of December 31, 2025. "Net IRR" and "TVPI" as printed in the "Portfolio Summary by Status" of the quarterly OCERS - Private Equity Portfolio Report that OCERS posts on its website (the report's legend names Aksia LLC as its source). The report gives every amount in $ millions to one decimal; they are converted to whole dollars here, so each is rounded to the nearest $100,000: Total Commitment, Contributions and Distributions. Total value = Distributions + NAV is computed; DPI is left blank because amounts rounded to $0.1 million do not give a reliable ratio for small funds. Vintage is the report's "Vintage Year". The report marks the IRR of investments held less than 24 months "n.m." (not meaningful); 64 funds have no IRR (n.m., or "-" for commitments with nothing contributed yet) and 17 have no TVPI, all shown as blank. 12 funds' values are marked by the report as adjusted for contributions and distributions since the last valuation, which is before the report date. All 237 funds in the report are included: 211 active and 26 liquidated (no remaining NAV), adding up to the report's printed totals of $6.90 billion committed, $5.09 billion contributed and $5.39 billion NAV. OCERS's private equity portfolio as it reports it includes funds of funds, secondaries, co-investments and a few private credit funds; its separate Real Assets and Real Estate summaries are not imported.

Pennsylvania SERS: SERS Quarterly Private Equity Board Update, Schedule of Investments by Sector, as of December 31, 2025. IRR and TVM (total value multiple) as reported by SERS in a quarterly update prepared by StepStone Group. The schedule's column is headed "IRR"; the report says "Net IRR is net of managers' fees, expenses, and carried interest" and that, unless otherwise indicated, performance is net of fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment but gross of StepStone vehicle/account fees and expenses. It also says the figures were prepared by StepStone on behalf of SERS and not provided by any general partner, and that IRR and TVM for certain vehicles may have been impacted by subscription-backed credit facilities. Total value = market value + distributions; TVPI is SERS's TVM recomputed to two decimals from the reported amounts (SERS prints one decimal) and DPI = distributions / contributions is computed. SERS marks some partnerships NM ("Not Meaningful", no rule stated) and leaves the TVM and IRR cells, and usually the market value, empty for 29 others; those fields are blank here. Covers the buyout, growth equity and special situations partnerships on the schedule; the Keystone Legacy Fund line (SERS's pooled non-core legacy funds) and the separate legacy private credit schedule are not included. Commitments to non-USD funds reflect current exchange rates. View source
