9 CALSTRS INVESTMENT COMMITTEE RISK REPORT Valuations Attachment 1 Page 7 For most of the larger asset classes in the portfolio, the price of the asset at any given time is an important component of expected return, particualrly over the medium term (three to five years). Metrics like the price-toearnings ratio (P/E ratio) are particuarly useful because they tend to fluctuate over time around a long-term average. Credit speads, the incremental yield for corporate bonds over treasuries, and the premium paid for buyouts in Private Equity are similarly useful metrics. Higher prices tend to precede periods of lower returns, an important consideration for the risk-return opportunities across the portfolio. Chart 6 below shows several common measures of valuation converted to a common scale for comparability. Prices remain high for many assets in the public and private markets. Despite a recent ralley, emerging markets equity continue to be relatively inexpensive by historical standards. Chart 7. Asset Class Valuations *Valuation Metrics: Long-Term P/E Ratio for public equity; Total Value / EBITDA for Private Equity; Transaction Cap Rate for Real Estate; Credit spreads for Inv. Grade & HY Credit INV33

10 CALSTRS INVESTMENT COMMITTEE RISK REPORT Market Volatility Attachment 1 Page 8 The volatility index presented in the two charts below is an indicator of general market turbulence. The red lines provide a threshold by which to judge whether a day is an "outlier" or not. The longer-term chart shows that, historically, periods of higher turbulence tend to cluster in time. The clustering of turbulent periods means that if a particular day is an outlier, the following day is much more likely to be an outlier. Several days in a row of outliers are a strong indicator that market turbulence could persist for many weeks or months. Since the U.S. election vote in November 2016, markets continue to remain relatively calm. Chart 8. Market Turbulence - Long Term Chart 9. Market Turbulence - Recent Liquidi Equity & INV34
