LACERA: LACERA Private Markets Holding Report (Private Equity), as of March 31, 2026. "ITD IRR" (inception to date) and "Investment Multiple" as printed by LACERA, which does not label the IRR net or gross and does not say in the report how or by whom it is calculated or when it is not meaningful, so IRRs of very young funds are shown as printed. The Investment Multiple equals (distributions + market value) / contributions and is used as TVPI; total value = distributions + market value and DPI = distributions / contributions are computed. Dollar amounts are rounded to whole dollars. Only holdings LACERA classes as Private Equity are included (not its real estate, hedge fund, illiquid credit or real assets holdings). 9 commitments with nothing contributed yet have no market value, multiple or IRR, and 3 new commitments are listed without any amounts.

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.
