13 Methodology & Calculations & Calculations Cambridge Associates LLC (CA) has established a proprietary database to monitor a client's portfolio across managers, asset classes, and at the total assets level. Users of the analysis may find the following description of the data sources, classification of investments, and the calculation techniques helpful in their interpretation of information that may be presented in the Investment Performance Report. 1. Investment manager statements are the primary source of information concerning client market values, returns, and cash flow transactions. In cases where managers are unable to provide data or where CA is otherwise instructed, custodian and/or client provided information is used as a substitute for data provided by the investment managers. 2. Investment manager inception dates represent the initial funding dates. Tracked performance begins on the first day after the manager inception date. 3. All performance figures are shown on a total return basis and in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated. All return time periods over one year are annualized. returns follow an actual month/12 convention. 4. Marketable investment manager returns are verified through CA s proprietary performance database system on a monthly basis. If monthly returns are unavailable, quarterly returns may be substituted. The quarterly reported returns are generally time-weighted returns (i.e. three monthly returns geometrically linked). All returns for periods longer than one quarter are geometrically linked time-weighted returns. All returns are net of fees unless otherwise labeled. 5. Marketable Alternative (MALT) manager returns are presented net of both management and incentive fees unless otherwise labeled. Detailed analysis of MALT returns, long/short positions, and strategy exposures are available in a separate MALT Performance Report for MALT Performance Reporting subscribers. 6. Private Investment (PI) manager returns are geometrically linked time-weighted quarterly returns. Quarterly returns are Internal Rates of Return (IRR s) calculated by the CA PI Performance Reporting department. The IRR (Net to Limited Partner) reflects the client s return on its investment in the partnership net of fees, expenses, and carried interest received by the general partners. Due to the timing of information availability from private investment managers, PI returns are reported on a one quarter lag. A 0% return is assumed for the current quarter to allow the calculation of composites. Detailed analysis of PI returns, commitments, and strategy exposures are available in a separate PI Performance Report for PI Performance Reporting subscribers. 7. Composites represent a collective value for a grouping of similar managers as if their underlying assets were pooled into one master portfolio. Managers are assigned to a particular composite according to the classification of their investments and the specific objectives of the client. The calculation of composite returns is based on the Modified Dietz method of asset and cash flow weighting. 8. The CA Manager Universe statistics, including Medians, are derived from CA s proprietary database covering investment managers. These universe statistics and rankings exclude managers that exclude cash from their reported total returns. For calculations including any years from 1998 to the present, those managers with less than $50 million in product assets are excluded. Returns for inactive (discontinued) managers are included if performance is available for the entire performance period measured. The Medians will not include simulated performance series provided by managers. 9. CA Manager Medians are compiled at each quarter end. CA Percentile Rankings are based upon a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 represents the best performing and 100 the worst. Returns in place for less than the full quarterly period are not ranked.

14 Methodology & Calculations 10. As a result of CA s methodology, it is incorrect to link quarterly medians to come up with a median over an extended time period. The compounded median that would result from such a calculation would be different from the 50th percentile manager ranking for the complete time under consideration. 11. The CA Preliminary Endowment Median is populated from CA s Client base, the majority of which are tracked by the Performance Reporting department. All Taxable Clients are excluded from the universe. The CA Preliminary Endowment Median is compiled on a quarterly basis and Median returns are available approximately starting four weeks after quarter end. As CA s Client base reports in, the universe size will grow accordingly. A minimum of 15 Clients must be present for the CA Preliminary Endowment Median to be generated for the given time period. Approximately six weeks to eight weeks after quarter end, the CA Preliminary Endowment Median has the capability to be filtered by asset size and institution type. The Preliminary Endowment Median return and percentile ranking within the universe reported in any given Performance Report will be dependent on the available universe of endowments at the time the report is prepared. 12. Index returns are reported on the same basis as investment manager returns. Performance is shown on a total return basis, where tracked performance begins first day after investment manager inception unless otherwise stated. If an index is unavailable for the current period, a 0% return will be assumed. Please see Index Vendor list for source disclosure. 13. We recommend that you compare the values shown in this report with the records/statements of your custodian, administrator, or of the investment managers in whose products you are invested. 14. The time-weighted return (TWR) measures the return of the same dollar invested continuously for a specific time period. Returns depend only on the length of the investment, not the amount invested. TWRs provide equal weight to each time period, thereby neutralizing the impact of cash flows. Due to most long-only and hedge fund managers lack of direct influence over the timing of investor cash flows, a TWR allows for more appropriate performance evaluation for public investments. All public investment performance is calculated on a timeweighted basis. Although standard, this approach only allows the investor to evaluate performance on a monthly frequency, diminishing the investor s ability to measure profit in the middle of the month.
