In its words: “In May 2026 Rhode Island Treasury staff presented an Emerging Manager Initiative to the State Investment Commission and began a request for information for a program of $200 million or more over 3-5 years across 15-20 managers raising a Fund I, II or III of $1 billion or less, with commitments of $15 million or less per fund; in that document it is a proposal, not an approved program.”

About this data
Holdings as this LP reports them, fund by fund. Amounts are its commitment to each fund. Fund performance it reports is on each firm’s page. As of March 31, 2026. Source: ERSRI Private Equity Performance - Active Portfolio (Rhode Island State Investment Commission book). Funds are linked to a manager by name; a match can be wrong, and the original filing is the record. How Hottub reads its sources.
"Net IRR (%)" and "Net Multiple of Investment" as printed in the Rhode Island State Investment Commission's monthly book, which says the multiple divides cumulative distributions and current value, after fees, by the capital paid in, and that the calculations are specific to the ERSRI investment and were not prepared, reviewed or approved by the general partners. 12 recent commitments are marked N/M (not defined in the report) and have no IRR or multiple. The book prints the listing twice (sorted by vintage year and by name); the two printings give a different Net IRR and multiple (a figure in one, N/M in the other) for Wynnchurch Capital Partners VI, which is left blank. The net multiple is used as TVPI; contributions are the Amount Drawn column, total value = Amount Distributed + Valuation and DPI = Amount Distributed / Amount Drawn are computed, in whole dollars as printed. 11 funds have a commitment printed in a foreign currency rather than dollars; for 7 of them the printed multiple does not equal (distributed + valuation) / drawn, and the report's "Total (in USD)" exceeds the sum of its rows by $43,302,434 drawn and $48,104,368 distributed, so the drawn and distributed columns of these rows do not appear to be in US dollars. For all 11, the commitment, contributions, distributions, total value and DPI are left blank and only the vintage, Net IRR and net multiple are imported. The report prints 1 row twice with identical figures (Industry Ventures Partnership Holdings IV - Secondary); it is imported once. All rows of the Private Equity Performance - Active Portfolio listing as classified by ERSRI (77 Buyout, 1 Fund of Funds, 10 Growth Equity, 4 Opportunistic Credit, 19 Venture Capital); the separate Private Credit, Real Estate and Private Infrastructure listings are not imported. The listing covers the active portfolio only, and its "Other Funds in Aggregate" row ($25,000,000 committed to funds whose confidentiality provisions do not permit disclosure of their performance) is not imported. The report's "Total (in USD)" row ($3,050,786,312 committed, $2,015,747,862 valuation) converts the foreign-currency commitments and does not reconcile exactly to the listed rows. The book's Portfolio Summary counts 121 private equity investments behind that total while the listing prints 112 rows, so the total also covers commitments that are not listed.
