3 Economic & ital Market Review KEY HIGHLIGHTS In Q2 2017: Strong global equity market performance was supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings and continued central bank accommodation throughout the world. The Federal Reserve increased interest rates at its June meeting by 25 basis points, bringing the Federal Funds rate target to o Continued progress in the labor market supported the interest rate hike. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) also announced that it would begin reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, most likely later in assets performed well: Continued economic strength, combined with increased earnings growth and high consumer and business confidence, were catalysts for global equity indices reaching new all-time highs (ACWI +4.). Across equity regions, emerging markets (+6.3%) were the best performers, followed by developed international (MSCI, +6.1%) and the US (Russell 3000, +3.). Income assets also gained: The 10-year Treasury ended the quarter yielding 2.31%, down 8 bps from the first quarter. Short-term yields rose during the quarter due to the Fed s interest rate hike, and yields declined modestly across the long end of the curve. Credit outperformed US Treasuries as spreads tightened to their lowest levels since the financial crisis. Diversifying assets were mixed: Lower commodity prices and inflation expectations contributed to gains for long treasuries. o 10-year breakeven inflation expectations ended the quarter at 1.7, down 24 bps quarter-over-quarter. 1

4 Yield to Maturity Jun-65 Jun-69 Jun-73 Jun-77 Jun-81 Jun-85 Jun-89 Jun-93 Economic Perspective Economy The second quarter of 2017 was characterized by continued economic strength throughout the world. The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates 25 basis points for the fourth time this cycle in June, bringing the Federal Funds rate target to Further progress in the labor market (the unemployment rate reached its lowest level since May 2001) supported the Fed s decision to raise rates once again. Going forward, however, members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) expect to be cautious when raising rates given the Fed s limited ability to ease in an economic downturn % Unemployment Rate The labor market continued to strengthen during the second quarter, with the US economy adding 185,000 jobs per month. The unemployment rate fell to 4.3% in May, its lowest level since May 2001, and ended the quarter at 4.. Wage growth, as measured by the change in average hourly earnings of private sector workers, fell 20 bps to 2. year-over-year in April and was unchanged for the remainder of the quarter. 4. Real GDP grew at a 1. annual rate during the first quarter of 2017 according to the final estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The estimate was revised upward from the second estimate of 1., reflecting positive changes in nonresidential fixed income, personal consumption, and state and local government spending. GDP growth for Q is estimated to have been 2.7% annualized according to the Atlanta Federal Reserve. Treasury Yield Curve Economic activity in both the manufacturing and services sectors continued to expand in the second quarter, as measured by purchasing managers indices (PMI). The US ISM Manufacturing PMI expanded 2.9 points in June to 57.8; an Index reading over 50 suggests expansion in the sector. The Non-Manufacturing (or services) PMI also continued to reflect strength, led by strong consumer spending; US services have expanded for 90 consecutive months. 3% 1% 1.9% 1.9% % % 2.3% 2 Yield Curve The spread between 2-year and 30-year Treasuries tightened 30 bps to 145 bps during the quarter. Over the past two years, the 2-30 spread has tightened by 103 bps, with the long end of the curve declining while short-term yields have been lifted by Federal Reserve rate hikes. The 20-year average spread between 2-year and 30-year Treasuries is 190 bps. -1% -3 bps -8 bps -18 bps Years to Maturity March 31, 2017 June 30, 2016 Quarterly Change Source: Bloomberg

7 Assets Public Equities Strong global equity market performance continued during the second quarter, supported by gains across major markets. Across regions, emerging markets were the best performers (MSCI +6.3%) and international markets once again outperformed domestic (MSCI ACWI ex US +5.8%, Russell ). Master limited partnerships (MLPs) returned -6. for the second quarter. The largest losses were seen in the energy sector, returning -22.1%. Shipping as well as exploration and production (E&P) also contributed to underperformance, both declining more than 1 for the quarter. Year-to-date, distribution yields have risen 6 bps to 7.1% Public Debt The Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Index gained 2. during the second quarter of Spreads continued to tighten during the quarter, decreasing 19 bps to 364 bps. For the trailing 12 months, spreads have tightened by 230 bps; over the past 20 years, high yield spreads have averaged 552 bps. Local currency emerging market debt returned 3., benefitting from currency appreciation and improving emerging market growth forecasts. Emerging market debt performance has been strong year-to-date, returning 10. as emerging market fundamentals continue to improve. Private Assets The strong fundraising environment for private equity continued into the second quarter. ital commitments have now exceeded $100b in five of the last seven quarters, with Preqin estimating that Q2 fundraising totaled $121b. The amount of capital raised has been relatively concentrated, with approximately 63% of the $121b raised being secured by the top 10 funds closed during the quarter. Purchase price multiples for middle-market LBOs, as measured by S&P Leveraged Commentary and Data (S&P LCD), have remained relatively stable from 2016 at 9.5x YTD. Momentum in private debt fundraising slowed during the first half of 2017 compared to record highs at the end of Twenty-eight funds, totaling $16b in capital, closed during the second quarter, down from $26b in Q1. The second quarter marked the first time in three years in which private debt fundraising did not surpass $20b. Hedge Funds Risk parity funds performed well during the second quarter but lagged strong equity market gains. Equity and credit allocations contributed, while commodities detracted. hedge funds gained in the second quarter, with a tailwind from strong risk asset performance. Equity long/short and activist strategies led performance, while merger arbitrage and distressed/restructuring strategies also contributed. 5 MSCI ACWI IMI Russell 3000 Russell 1000 Russell 1000 Russell 1000 Russell 2000 Russell 2000 Russell 2000 MSCI ACWI ex US MSCI MSCI MSCI Alerian MLP Blmbg.

Real Estate real estate returns for the second quarter of 2017 were 1.7% gross and 1. net, bringing the one-year gain for core funds to 6.9%. Strong but declining gains in the commercial real estate market have been supported by the US cyclical expansion, with strong labor market growth fueling demand while supply remains limited. In recent quarters price appreciation has slowed compared to prior in the expansion, with a larger percentage of real estate gains now being generated through income. 0.3% Blmbg. Barc.

Underperformance was largely attributed to losses in the energy (-9.7%) as OPEC members extended production cuts, but not to the extent expected by investors. Livestock produced the highest sector gains for the quarter, returning 11., with lean hogs driving outperformance. Broad commodity prices have reversed from the beginning of the year, after originally benefitting from optimism around the prospects of infrastructure spending under the Trump administration. Tactical Trading Tactical trading hedge funds detracted in the second quarter. Managed futures strategies were the larger detractor, though discretionary global macro was also negative.

23 Investment Themes INVESTMENT THES: LOOKING FORWARD What We Believe Equity market valuations, particularly in the US, remain elevated. Short- to medium-term global growth prospects are positive given the broad-based nature of the cyclical upswing. High levels of uncertainty (central bank, political, economic, etc.) persist, while realized and implied market volatility remains low. What Investors Should Do Favor conservative positioning over aggressive returnseeking given current valuations. Within equity, tilt towards emerging and international developed markets. With lower expected asset class returns going forward, emphasize active management in less efficient markets. Income Muted returns for most fixed income assets as yields remain below historical levels. Credit spreads have compressed despite levels of corporate debt-to-gdp at cyclical highs. Favor return sources that diversify away from duration without significant credit risk (i.e. relative value hedge funds, unconstrained fixed income). Size these allocations appropriately given significant tracking error vs. core fixed income. Diversification The cost of holding diversifying assets has declined given high equity valuations and low bond yields. Maintain equity diversification (tactical trading strategies) and fixed income diversification (commodities, TIPS) for portfolio balance and hedging qualities. 21

While these assumptions are long-term by definition (one would not expect them to change frequently), there are times when market fundamentals move dramatically, thereby altering the expected performance for certain asset classes.

Portfolio 3. Portfolio: Diversification benefits from combining multiple asset classes or strategies into a single portfolio. 4. Risk Premia: Strategies employ leverage, have the ability to short, and/or are able to access unique risk premia unavailable in public markets.
