gps are in compliance. >> okay. that was what i was trying to ask thank you. >> yeah. i think we'll go through it we've got quite a few appendix and hit the highlights if this year's questions i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. only page 19 in the the highlight the proliferate equity continues to deliver strong returned that's a long term asset class we've focus on a 15 year numbers cross the geographies and different strategies it has out performed to the public market this is the private equities driver in the portfolio i'll skip over 20 it is the long term strategy i think we recognize that and in terms of thinking about

2015 as a pipeline and the opportunities you know we've included slides here to that have guided our thoughts in terms of which how that relative evaluation is attractive and hue we should be positioning ourselves going forward in terms of fundraising we're paced up from 2006 to 2008 but it's a healthy distributions and the capital st. is coming back into the market with the private equity and as we think about that we paid attention to the swaegsz e evaluations that those managers are paying making sure we're not being perturbed pressured to put 24 money to work so this is something perceive been looking at and across the regions and geographies as well page 23, 24 the great returns in

terms of the fund size the punch line here the smaller does better in terms of home run types of returns but if i want to protect capital and they're in u narrow that range of returned you'll have it in terms of tighter returned and less losses we'll look at the spectrum of investment size we keep this in the back of our minds to look at the straenldz and the focus on investment scott taunted this on 25 and 26 you'll see sector fund in the u.s. proefbl possibly from europe as the market continues to develop our hypothesis is that it should do better and the

agency inadequate has outperformed in terms of higher and on a multiple basis to wrap up in in terms of of choout so for an page 28 the managers selection and the alternatives is hugely important it's important to start early in terms of building the relationship and the investment team has done an incredible job not only in the u.s but abroad that has resulted in several assess constraint managers disr disbursement is better and that's why due diligence comes in and the risk management and due diligence but that being said we set a relative evacuates that helps

guide us in terms of leading strategies we look at the capital on hand and the evaluations in the market and the drivers we looked at it with the classes as you can see on page 29 not a whole bunch of strategies on a compelling side of the 12rur78 so we'll see it's really a function of the market environmentalist the vaethsz have picked up we'll continue to be disciplined and work harder to find different types of ideas things that make sense for that the portfolio. >> if i may i'd like to acknowledge the great work that's fwp done by each and every member of the private equity team always the the colleagues much has been accomplished and there's

$4340 million and from 50 to $60 million additional more relationships on the way the cautionary words about competition and evaluation but much has been done so every on the team. >> the board supports as well. >> on page 24 the huge differences between 5 periods of time and the next 20 percent down and the smaller funding if you look at the lense $100 million it is 49 periods of time return and 20 percent down is a difference of 29 percent that's humane and from that the chart it shows the larger fund you have the less performances you have.

>> and the loss as is that because this us you can the sector specialist tend to be the fund. >> in a smaller fund one rome home rounding run could swing the result before a multi million dollars fund. >> that's the results. >> yeah. so you know the prospective team said we have to deliver one hundred percent in the i r r >> you know just what it tells me when i look at you know your large cap u.s. managers not private the difference between the top talent is one percent not much difference but here putting the focus on private equity have you to be in the one hundred percent per actually that's a huge difference

go job. >> i think i'll start on page 8 the blackwood line dropped we want less money come back to hit our target, however, this goes to liquidity the cash available not just to make the call the question is about liquidity going forward especially, if we're going to increase the liquidity the pates based on up to 850 maybe a billion dollars. >> that's a question as we carefully and thoroughly think about i believe i'm comfortable with the discussion i know i'm

comfortable with the discussed we've had about 18 percent to private equity aid real assets board should keep in mind a do you have an opinion of things on the path to get through one has to do with the ramp up in expenses in the meantime the returns come latter in the elementary it's less comfortable in terms of returned ruptures right now the liquidity of both files is quite good we can school bus some measure of the liquidity but we do need to consider where we are in terms of evaluations in the public market we could

have a relatively high determinant and if this falls with the large investments it looks at 12 percent can quicken balloon i can see is we're comfortable taking some additional liquidity is that helpful. >> ongoing it's helpful but then at least you're aware trars a problem they financing cash is going to stop so how much liquidity in the portfolio do we need to retain we were caught short several years ago so i want to bring up the liquidity issue now. >> on page 8 the worse case scenario is o-8 in the financial prides the bases were shut down that draw down was about

$250 million will less than $300 million for and against we can cut a check for if not today tomorrow the worse case scenario in the historical of our it could grow i guarantee you'll not see that in the future for the 20 plus billion dollars fund but we have the liquidity the questions about liquidity. >> today we have likely it it could change. >> meaning iowa could you mean by changes autumn the real assets energy this is a large change and the cash flow with the partners is great that's cash but cash not ending in a

decimal. >> they use a lot of leverage; right? they just refinest smart interesting half of those they couldn't sell to take advantage of low interest rate. >> we're focusing from here infrastructure and raising real estate they are the liquid assets do we want more approve equities where do we go to get the best returned. >> it is an issue of like it page 24 i want to make sure i read 24 correctly as i understand what's represented in the bars besides the green and yellow that means we have good manager selection in the upper two columns is that true i don't know if so this dollars or

management. >> page 24. >> this is just a broad market. >> this is not san francisco and it's not. >> to answer our question yes that's true most of our partners. >> it is not only related by the due diligence process for investments and operation is some indication of our staff and impounded some are no longer with us those previous jaksdz of cambridge and mr. schwartz and other people the manager location. >> process is key to the staff they've done fairly well. okay. better than average that's key to many manager sleksdz page 28 i want to make sure i read this those are propose returned >> those are the tanldz it is

the medium and top bar we're looking at the medium to the 25th. >> it's interesting to note i read that in the foot not all the numbers are gross except for that the hedge funds so when you go apples to apples we have to be careful to compare increase statement about obvious people not president to invest in the risky assets those returned s are equal to equities that's an interesting chart but it shows certain areas don't get into the risk fund it is adorable. >> the twho two bar charts to the far right the u.s. p be e and venture those returns. >> i was focusing to the public

versus the private in the hedge funds area maybe someone will ask about it going forward i'll stop thank you. >> i have no questions on an obligation obviously this is one of our strongest performances over a long period of time you have any support in areas of real value within the field. >> i want to thank you all for coming. >> it's great we have spur numbers let me go through the numbers page 7 buy outs are half of the portfolio i want to focus on interest rates a little bit i think that

eventually interest rates are going to stro have to rise in terms of the performances of buy outs a lot of those are leverage that's helped the performance does it not, and, secondly, going forward couldn't interest rates rise slowly or fast how does that effect the returned going forward. >> for the buy outs and the financial crisis and i think we have the program has benefited you've gotten the dividends we rapid with the interest rates rising or the consider tingling we obviously as audrey was 30i9 in terms of relative evaluations we find that the large cap buy outs it extensive we're not seeing that as a pocket of the

opportunity we prefer to look at the funds within the buy out the smaller fund are not able to let them as much and also reindirect equity he can are not as leveraged realignment with the buy outs it's key to finding those with great operating expertise and that can an ad additional value beyond. >> so a couple of issues on page 7 the special situations that would be the vulture below the debt rate and gusts an idea of the categories in the special situations. >> traditionally it was argued with partnerships upstairs are the strategies but our private energy have been removed and

contributes to the assets so really it will be special situations that reconstruction strategies going forward maybe it up ethnic. >> when we address investment will into the portfolio we are targeting around the 15 percent round rate of return. >> yeah. yeah. on the debt side are you trying to get a lower number and the debt component of the portfolio. >> i agree and because of that assumes we're not take into account lower rates of return we're not make the commitments when in absent of wide sdrets we're trying to test the sdrets with regards to the steams that's hard to do but we're looking at the distressed debt.

>> let me ask bill let's say you want to target a higher risk component but not have the higher targeted return for the private portfolio will it go something else. >> pardon. >> eunice and bob have 4r507k9d on the credit side. >> we have an opportunity for the fixed income it's been quite active. >> we should put that on the table that private equities on the equities side is different than the debt side i want to go to the tapes that's a big issue some of the commissioners mentioned that on page 12 you talked about your commitment between 7 having and $800 million to target the private equities let me ask you

this. let's target this how much would a commitment let's say $800 million what's it for $18 million. >> approximately a billion dollars the model the phasing model preponderance of the evidence the allocation they've made preliminary passes at it, of course, we wait the boards decision my rough estimate about a billion dollars. >> it's a challenge it's a moving target so i want to have a round number. >> thank you. >> co-investments how many have we done tell me how many co-investments in san francisco. >> we have no direct co-investment. >> that's what you thought we talk about it all the time by congress; right?

i'll say the advantage in the direct is the fees are lower generally speaking because the terrorizing interest it is not part of it i want to talk about the benefits we're getting towards the end of the meeting we talk about liquidity but paying attention to the benefits that's the bottom line so i just want to put that open the table that's the need for liquidity and the anothers we have stocks and bonds, etc. and long term investment we need - that will do it oh, can you did that overhang i think it's not committed it's investing >> okay. thank you very much. >> anyone else? opening it up for public comment on item 7 known i'll close public comment thank you very much

call item 8. >> uber who did it since you brought that up. >> we invested in uber okay. >> item 8 chief executive officers report. >> oh yes thank you and commissioners, if we turn to memo after investment returned a couple of things to note in terms of deals that have been approved by the board in closed session in recent months, that have now have 92 now since closed first, the c i m their opportunistic real estate diesels except for the last one so c i m was approved by the board last month is that skwem excuse me. no october that

the 13wrshg9 address we if have the public here it was a chance for the members to look at how much we invested it's a good address to the c i o report. >> commissioner you asked and we'll have it included. >> i ask that for the other members. >> any other questions. >> what about the commodities you said poor how poor. >> negative i believe single digit negative i don't have the number in front of me there is one chart you kind of alluded to if i can find it here real quick i believe it's at last one just after page 9 the chart after page 9 you see what has think outside the box done well and what has struggled in the last
