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.

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
