About this data
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.

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.
