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

Los Angeles City Employees' Retirement System (LACERS): LACERS Private Equity Portfolio Performance Report, as of December 31, 2025. "Net IRR" and "Net TVPI" as printed in the fund-by-fund appendix of the Private Equity Portfolio Performance Report that LACERS posts semiannually (prepared on its private equity consultant's template; the cover gives www.aksia.com). The report defines TVPI as (cumulative distributions + fair market value) / cumulative contributions and labels IRRs of investments held less than two years "n.m."; 27 funds have no IRR (n.m., or "-" in the report) and 14 have no multiple ("-", mostly commitments with nothing contributed yet), all shown as blank. Dollar amounts are whole US dollars as reported (inception-to-date contributions and distributions). Total value = distributions + fair market value, and DPI = distributions / contributions, are computed. All 408 partnerships in the report are included: 305 active and 103 liquidated (no remaining fair market value), of which 23 are in LACERS' Specialized Portfolio and the rest in its Core Portfolio. LACERS counts 36 Credit/Distressed and 15 Natural Resources (energy) partnerships as private equity in this report, alongside buyout, growth equity, venture capital, secondaries, co-investment and fund-of-funds vehicles; its separate private credit and real estate reports are not imported.

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.
