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

UTIMCO (Permanent University Fund): Permanent University Fund Detail Schedules of Investment Securities, Schedule H: Private Investment Funds, as of August 31, 2025. Holdings only: the audited Schedule H lists each private investment fund held by the Permanent University Fund, which UTIMCO manages, with its fair value at the August 31 fiscal year end and nothing else, so vintage year, commitment, contributions, distributions, total value, IRR and multiples are blank (UTIMCO reports none of them here); each fund's fair value is kept as market_value_usd in whole dollars as printed. Fund names are as printed (capitals, abbreviated). Included are the schedule's Private Equity (159 funds), Venture (165) and Emerging Market Equity (29) sections; its Credit, Infrastructure, Natural Resources and Real Estate sections are not imported, and neither are 24 direct investments in the imported sections, which UTIMCO lists only as numbered "Direct Investment" rows because their names are confidential under Texas Government Code 552.143(c). Covers the Permanent University Fund only: UTIMCO publishes no such schedule for the General Endowment Fund, and it provides its fund-level Private Markets performance reports only in answer to an open records request.
