DISCUSSION OF INVESTMENT PROCUREMENT PROCESS

Ms. Mary Pat Burns of Burke, Burns & Pinelli discussed the history of the procurement requirements for investment services in Illinois and noted that SURS is very conservative in its procurement process. Ms. Burns also discussed other options to consider, including those employed by other public funds in Illinois, and noted that Illinois law provides for some flexibility in the procurement process. Discussion followed.

DISCUSSION OF INVESTMENT POLICY AND DIVERSITY GOALS

Trustee McCrohon remarked that in light of the discussion thus far, he believes it is appropriate to move out of the regular order of business and move up the discussion regarding the Investment Policy and Diversity Goals. The group concurred. Trustee Cullen provided a presentation summarizing his proposed changes to the SURS Defined Benefit Investment Policy. Trustee Cullen plans to circulate a draft of the revised Investment Policy to solicit feedback from other trustees, NEPC and staff. Trustee McCrohon remarked that the participation of others in the process is welcome. A revised draft will then be presented for consideration at a future Investment Committee meeting (likely either October or December). Discussion followed.

Trustee J. Fred Giertz physically joined the meeting at 2:32 p.m during the Investment Policy and Diversity Goals discussion.

Copies of the staff memorandum entitled “Review of Investment Policy” and the red-lined drafts of the SURS Investment Policy and the SURS Self-Managed Plan Investment Policy are incorporated as a part of these minutes as Exhibit 9a, Exhibit 9b and Exhibit 9c.

STATUS UPDATES OF PRIVATE EQUITY FUND-OF-FUND SEARCH

Ms. Kim Pollitt provided a brief update on the status of the private equity fund-of-funds search. Eighteen responses to the Request for Proposal (RFP) were received by the deadline. Staff and NEPC are in the process of reviewing the responses and plan to narrow the list to a smaller group of semi finalists. Interviews with semi finalist firms are tentatively scheduled to be conducted on October 13-14 at SURS office in Champaign. Ms. Pollitt welcomed trustee participation in the interviews and noted that the Quiet Period remains in effect. Additional discussion followed regarding the alternative methods of accessing the private equity markets. It was noted that the board’s decision on which implementation method is utilized in the future will have implications on the negotiations for this current private equity search, as will the decision on magnitude and duration of the commitments. Dialogue continued on the various approaches to investing in private equity.

Copies of the staff memorandum titled “Global Private Equity Fund of Funds Search” is incorporated as a part of these minutes as Exhibit 6.

ASSET ALLOCATION UPDATE

Doug Moseley of NEPC reviewed the implementation of the 2014 asset/liability study. Implementation is nearly complete, with the exception of the final 2 percent to be allocated to hedged strategies. Mr. Moseley introduced the possibility of deferring the second phase of the hedged equity search in favor of other priorities in the portfolio, potentially fixed income and non-U.S. equity structure. Trustee Johnson expressed a desire to continue with the hedged equity search. Discussion followed.

A copy of NEPC’s presentation titled “Asset Allocation Implementation Priorities” is incorporated as a part of these minutes as Exhibit 7.

PRESENTATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2017 INVESTMENT PLAN

Trustee Giertz physically left the meeting at 3:45 p.m. during the presentation of the Fiscal Year 2017 Investment Plan discussion.

Mr. Douglas Wesley presented the SURS Fiscal Year 2017 Investment Plan noting that this was the sixth year for presenting such a plan to the board with the purpose of recapping the prior year’s performance and establishing the work plan for the coming year. Mr. Wesley discussed the SURS investment performance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, noting that SURS returned 0.2 percent compared to a return of 0.8 percent for the benchmark. Peer comparisons and the reasons for underperformance were also discussed, including structural tilts and headwinds in both the U.S Equity and Fixed Income areas the portfolio.

Mr. Wesley discussed the work plan for the coming year noting that he had met with Trustees McCrohon and Cullen over the summer where they discussed the projects that were ongoing including the private equity search as well as reallocating to real estate managers coming back to the market.

Mr. Wesley reminded the board that the custodial contract with Northern Trust was due to expire in June of 2017. Mr. Wesley noted that Northern Trust is one of four major custodians in the United States, they were headquartered in Chicago, and Staff is happy with the service they provide. Mr. Wesley noted that there was no legal requirement for SURS to issue a request for proposal for custodial services at the expiration of the contract and that he would like to begin the process of negotiating the next contract. Trustee McCrohon suggested that SURS conduct a request for information to streamline the process and possibly help in getting concessions on contract negotiations.

Mr. Wesley discussed the 2 percent hedged strategies search that the board approved last September and noted that it was appropriate to review the portfolio, given all the changes that have been made over the last year, and make sure that the portfolio is structured in the way the board wants it to be structured. Mr. Wesley asked that the search be rescinded at this time. Trustee Cullen noted that SURS was still committed to the hedged strategy space and that there were many attractive strategies in the marketplace and that pausing on the search would allow SURS time to articulate a clear direction for moving forward. Mr. Wesley discussed options available to the board to still reach the full 5 perecent allocation to hedged strategies, including fully funding the Gladius options strategy. Discussion ensued regarding Gladius and additional information was requested for discussion and action at the October Investment Committee meeting regarding implementation and funding of the strategy.

Trustee Craig McCrohon made the following motion:

• That the SURS Fiscal Year 2017 Investment Plan be accepted as presented.

Trustee Paul Johnson seconded and the motion carried with all trustees present voting in favor.

Trustee Craig McCrohon made the following motion:

• That the following motion from the September 2015 Investment Committee and Boardmeeting that directed “a search be conducted to identify qualified providers of hedgedstrategies consistent with the criteria expressed in the 2016 Investment Plan” berescinded.

Trustee Antonio Vasquez seconded and the motion carried with a majority of the trustees present voting in favor except Trustee Johnson who opposed.

A copy of staff memorandums titled “SURS Fiscal Year 2017 Investment Plan” and “2017 Investment Plan” are incorporated as a part of these minutes as Exhibit 8a and Exhibit 8b.

DISCUSSION OF INVESTMENT POLICY AND DIVERSITY GOALS

Trustee J. Fred Giertz physically joined the meeting at 2:32pm.

A discussion that briefly began at the beginning of the Investment Committee meeting regarding the recent Franklin Real Asset Advisors (“FRAA”) MDP RE 2015 fund-of-one (the “Fund”) key person event was deferred until later in the meeting. Staff, consistent with direction given by the Investment Committee at the June meeting, executed a consent at the completion of a 90-day trustee due diligence period allowing the Fund to maintain its commitment period as is. Trustee Ammons voiced concerns at the September Investment Committee meeting about additional personnel changes having occurred at FRAA and wished to reconsider the previously executed consent. Trustee Idehen furthered the discussion with concerns about AUM changes at the broader Franklin Templeton firm level and an investment decision related to one potential Fund commitment in a Chicago-based firm that was a part of the Fund’s predecessor fund, Emerging Manager Real Estate Fund of Funds.

Additional trustee discussion ensued and it was determined that the best course of action was for staff, upon review of the Fund’s legal documents, to report back to the Investment Committee at the October meeting with potential options for consideration.

RECAP OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON PENSION INVESTMENTS HEARINGS Mr. Doug Wesley reported on the Senate hearings that were held on August 11, 2016, recapping the main questions discussed. In addition, staff provided an update on SURS MFDB exposure as of June 30. The next hearings are expected to occur in February 2017.

Copies of the staff memorandums titled “Annual Review of Minority-, Female- and Persons with a Disability-Owned Broker/Dealer Usage by SURS Investment Managers”, “SURS Diversity Report” and “Senate Special Committee on Pension Investments” are incorporated as part of these minutes as Exhibit 10a, Exhibit 10b and Exhibit 10c.

REVIEW OF SURS INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

Ms. Kristin Finney-Cooke of NEPC presented an overview of financial markets, as of June 30, 2016. Total plan investment performance was also discussed. SURS achieved a total return of 0.2 percent, net of fees, for the year ending June 30, 2016. The return ranked the portfolio just above median in a peer universe of public funds over $1 billion. Discussion followed.

To: Investment Committee From: Investment Staff Date: September 1, 2016 Re: Global Private Equity Fund of Funds Search Search Update At the April 21, 2016, Investment Committee meeting, the Board approved the recommendation to conduct a search for one or more qualified providers of global private equity fund-of-funds services. One or more firms will be considered to manage commitments of up to $300 million per year based on the current private equity pacing model. At the June 2014 Investment Committee meeting, the Board approved the adoption of a three-year private equity funding plan. The funding plan included annual allocations of:

Calendar Year Commitment Amount

2015 $250 million 2016 $300 million 2017 $300 million Total $850 million

SURS’ existing private equity providers are eligible to respond to the RFP. The Request for Proposal (RFP) was developed by NEPC and SURS Staff and advertised in the June 13, 2016, print edition, and on the website of Pensions & Investments, noticed, as required in the State newspaper, and posted to the SURS website.

Timeline The anticipated timeline for the search process is as follows:

Proposed Search Timeline

Date Item April 21, 2016 Quiet Period Begins June 13, 2016 Dissemination of RFP June 24, 2016 Deadline for questions to SURS July 8, 2016 Responses to questions submitted to SURS July 29, 2016 RFP responses due by 4:30 pm CT August/September 2016 Identify firms for further consideration October 13-14, 2016 Interviews with selected firms in Champaign office December 8, 2016 Finalist presentations to SURS Board of Trustees

Exhibit 6

Update Staff and NEPC received 18 responses from global private equity fund of funds providers by the July 29 deadline. A list of the respondents is shown on the following page. Staff and NEPC are currently in the process of reviewing the responses and plan to narrow the list to a smaller group of semi-finalists. Interviews with semi-finalist firms are tentatively scheduled to be conducted on October 13-14 at SURS’ office in Champaign. Trustees are invited to attend; if interested, please contact staff for additional details. Quiet Period Please note that the Quiet Period will remain in effect until a selection has been made by the Board and accepted by the service provider. A copy of the Quiet Period Policy Guidelines follows. Quiet Period Policy Guidelines The Quiet Period Policy is intended to establish guidelines by which Board Members and Staff will communicate with prospective service providers during the search process. The objectives of the policy are to ensure that prospective service providers competing to become employed by SURS have equal access to information regarding the search parameters; communications related to the selection are consistent and accurate; and the process of selecting service providers is efficient, diligent, and fair. The following guidelines will be instituted during a search process for a service provider:

• A quiet period will commence upon Committee action (or Board action if the selection is not initiated through a Committee) to authorize a search for a service provider and end once a selection has been made by the Board and accepted by the service provider;

• Initiation, continuation and conclusion of the quiet period shall be publicly communicated to prevent inadvertent violations;

• All Board members, and Staff not directly involved in the search process, shall refrain from communicating with service provider candidates regarding any product or service related to the search offered by the candidate throughout the quiet period and shall refrain from accepting meals, travel, hotel, or other value from the candidates;

• Throughout the quiet period, if any Board member is contacted by a candidate, the Board member shall refer the candidate to SURS Consultant or Staff directly involved in the search process;

• All authority related to the search process shall be exercised solely by the relevant Committee or Board as a whole, and not by individual Board Members;

• All information related to the search process shall be communicated by the SURS Consultant and Staff to the relevant Committee or Board as a whole, and not to individual Board Members;

• The quiet period does not prevent Board approved due diligence, client conference attendance or communications with an existing service provider that happens to be a candidate in the ordinary course of services provided by such service provider; however, discussions related to the pending selection shall be avoided during those activities;

• The provisions of this policy will apply to service provider candidates throughout the quiet period and shall be communicated to candidates in conjunction with any competitive proposal process; and

• A service provider may be disqualified from a search process for a knowing violation of this policy.

Exhibit 7

SURS Executive Summary

Exhibit 7

• Since completing formal Asset-liability study in 2014 Board and staff have spent considerable amount of time implementing the new Policy allocation

– Selection of new managers in EMD, Hedge Fund-of-Funds and Commodity categories– Searches to fund existing portfolio allocations to private equity and real estate– Searches requested by Board for beta overlay, option overlay & private equity fund-of-

funds– Annual Asset class reviews, Policy updates & active vs. passive discussion

• As part of finalizing the 2017 Investment plan NEPC recommends that SURS adjust priorities for searches and implementation projects

– Defer second phase of hedge equity category search to fiscal year 2018• Re-evaluate targeted sub-categories (returns, market exposure vs. alpha, cost, transparency)

– Complete implementation of equity option overlay & discussion regarding private equity program structure

– Spend time on existing portfolio structure • Seek opportunities for return enhancement• Adjustments to existing benchmarks and mandates

– Allow time for private equity implementation discussion and 2017 non-Core real estate portfolio commitments

Executive Summary & Recommendation

4

Exhibit 7

• Rationale for change of priorities driven by multiple factors– Projected impact on Total Fund expected return & risk would not be significant– Product offerings in the Hedged-equity space continue to evolve– SURS Hedge Fund-of-funds mandates were recently funded and need time to be observed

(by staff & Board)– Custom equity option-overlay account needs to be funded and its impact on portfolio return

& risk assessed – Market environment has changed significantly since 2014

• Market interest rates have continued to decline• Central bank action & concern regarding global economic growth continue to impact pricing of all

asset classes• Institutional investors forced to pursue higher returns in alternative assets

– Creates negative implications for forward-looking returns

– Deferring 2nd phase of hedge equity implementation will give Board time to evaluate performance of current Policy & structure (implementation)• Board has expressed desire to spend additional time on fee structures and transparency• Flexibility to revisit Policy targets before expanding manager roster further

Executive Summary & Recommendation (continued)

Exhibit 7

SURS Current Policy Portfolio

Comments on Current Target

• Equity – Lower equity exposure but still most

significant component of risk budget– Good mix between domestic and int’l

• Fixed Income− Break out portfolio shows impact of

assumptions for Diversified and Absolute Return fixed mandates

− EMD provides excess return and diversification

• Good diversification via Alternative Assets− First portion of hedge fund mandate funded

in March-April 2016

− Commodity allocation to shift from passive overlay to fully funded actively managed account during 2q16

• Small Differences in Expected Risk & Return between Current and Long-Term Policy targets

Exhibit 7

• NEPC conducted Asset Allocation & formal Asset-Liability study after being retained in 2013

• Given SURS funded status, primary observation was that reduction in public equity risk should be considered to reduce risk

• NEPC recommended SURS consider adding EMD, Hedge Funds & Commodity exposure to further diversify portfolio

– Desire to maintain expected return while reducing expected portfolio risk– Increase inflation protection

• Policy increases to illiquid asset classes not recommended based on liquidity profile and funded status

– Existing private equity portfolio mature and generally cash flow positive– Still building out real estate portfolio

• Funding Core mandates selected in 2013• Manager search needed to build non-Core exposure

• Inconsistent funding from State in downturns considered high risk to liquidity in stress case

SURS 2014 Asset-Liability Study & Allocation Policy Discussion

7

Exhibit 7

• Defer the implementation of the existing long-term Policy targets to Fiscal Year 2018

– Revisiting sub-strategy targets of existing asset classes may have more impact– Maintain slight over-weights to public equities or fixed income in the near term

• Could also allow private markets allocations to drift higher

• Consider revisions to Policy implementation plan– Increase target to hedge fund-of-funds mandates from 3% to 5% instead of adding

second sub-strategy category– Fully fund the Gladius equity index option overlay strategy at 2% target

• Formally revisit asset allocation targets in early 2017– Re-evaluate Policy targets using NEPC update asset class assumptions– Revisit sizing of total fixed income, equity & private markets allocations

• Consider reduction in total fixed income exposure as part of maintaining expected return• Consider small increases to real estate or private equity• Graduate infrastructure (private real assets) from Opportunistic category to stand alone

Asset Allocation Options Available to the Board

Exhibit 7

Hedge Fund Market Update

Exhibit 7

• Recent performance of broad hedge fund category has been disappointing vs. traditional markets that have delivered strong returns driven by central bank liquidity

– US equities out-performing non-US markets by 8-10%+ over recent trailing-periods– Trailing fixed income returns reflect benefit of declining interest rates

• Benefit will not be realized to the same extent going forward

• Hedge funds have been negatively impacted by several key trends– Central bank activity driving irrational or extreme pricing in some markets– US dollar strength negatively impacting non-US equity and commodity market returns– Sudden & brief market declines followed by extreme market rebounds

• Negative impact on trend following strategies• Can also negatively impact cost and effectiveness of broad market hedges

– Impact of hedging interest rate risk as rates continue to decline

• Manager fees and transparency continue to evolve

Hedge Funds vs. MSCI World

• Correlations of hedge funds to equities have steadily increased over time

– Individual strategies may be able to provide lower correlations

• A focus on only correlation ignores the magnitude of returns

• While hedge funds may be down at the same time equities are down, they outperform equities 90% of the time in down markets

– This protection is critical to preservation of capital

– Provide diversification when needed though it does not necessarily show up in correlation statistics

• Conversely, hedge funds have and are expected to underperform equities in rising markets

Exhibit 7

• In an effort to keep markets complacent, the Fed enacted multiple rounds of quantitative easing

– QE 1: November/December 2008– QE 2: November 2010– QE 3: September 2012; additionally affirming the zero-interest-rate policy will remain

through mid-2015• Macroeconomic uncertainty in the interim is easy to overlook in

retrospect– European debt crisis– Possible Greek default – Domestic growth concerns

• With the continued market support, unless investors were in 100% U.S. equities they underperformed

– Hedge funds, by nature, don’t generally have full risk-on exposure which has contributed to underperformance post-QE

• Post-crisis central bank policies have arguably distorted capital markets

– Provided cheap and easy financing for equity-friendly activity– Established a backstop during market stress

• As monetary policies begin to shift gears we’ve seen a re-emergence of market volatility in the last 18 months

– Unconstrained investment strategies may be able to capitalized on increased volatility– Hedged risk profile may be able to provide capital preservation

Hindsight is 20/20

21

Exhibit 7

Market considerations driving hedge fund investment themes:

• Liquidity and Volatility– Sporadic spikes in volatility may create market downturn– Liquidity events at mutual funds may add to technical pressure on price– Lack of market liquidity due to new regulations (reduced bank balance sheets)– General risk-off sentiments in the market may create technical pressure

• Regulatory Changes– Changes will impact the type of investor base, ultimately impacting yields or spreads

• Energy, Metals, and Mining – Crisis in energy, metals and mining may spread to other sectors

• Geopolitical Events – May add to market fear and instability

• Emerging markets growth trajectory – Slowing GDP growth may impact various sectors and regions

Current Market Environment: Opportunities & Key Risk Considerations

22

Exhibit 7

• Hedge funds can be thought of as packages of traditional beta, alternative beta and alpha

– You want to pay rock-bottom fees for traditional beta, high fees for alpha, and something in between for alternative beta

• Alternative beta captures unique risk and return sources associated with hedge funds within low cost, liquid vehicles, (i.e.) cheaper and more liquid than hedge funds

Alternative Beta Compared to Hedge Funds

23

Alpha

Alternative Beta

Traditional Beta

• Highest Cost – “2 and 20”• Lowest capacity

• Moderate cost – “1 and 10”• Medium capacity• Long/short strategies

• Lowest cost – basis points• Highest capacity • Long only Index Funds

Exhibit 7

• Alternative equity strategies continue to evolve– New products entering marketplace– Existing product changes following period of evaluating live performance

• Products generally fall into a group of four broad sub-categories– Long/short stock selection – focused on security selection with some market hedging– Smart beta – alternative portfolio construction (typically long-only)– Hedge Fund replication strategies

• Beta attribution and replication – finding cheaper ways to capture 80-90% of hedge fund performance

• Factor / passive hedge fund sub-strategy replication– Option-based strategies that use derivatives to alter risk & return profile

• Strategies differentiated based on key attributes– Risk & return profile vs. long-only equities– Leverage & target market exposure– Use of derivatives to gain market exposure, hedge risk– Correlation to traditional markets like long-only equities & fixed income– Fees & transparency

• Each of the sub-strategy categories has pros and cons– Performance track records for most products are relatively short (less than 5 years)– Relative results have been mixed

Exhibit 7

• Total return expectations for non-US equities are higher vs. last year

• Expectations for US equities are the same despite a relatively flat year– Increased spread of 1.25% for developed non-US relative to US large cap– Increased premium for emerging equity as valuations have become more attractive

• Meaningful downside risks remain in developed and emerging world

• While we expect investors to be compensated over 5-7 years with a higher relative return for holding non-US equities, it is appropriate to use active management to mitigate exposure to downside risks

It is important that investors understand the following characteristics of non-traditional investment strategies including hedge funds and private equity:

1. Performance can be volatile and investors could lose all or a substantial portion of their investment

2. Leverage and other speculative practices may increase the risk of loss3. Past performance may be revised due to the revaluation of investments 4. These investments can be illiquid, and investors may be subject to lock-ups

or lengthy redemption terms5. A secondary market may not be available for all funds, and any sales that

occur may take place at a discount to value6. These funds are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as

registered investment vehicles7. Managers may not be required to provide periodic pricing or valuation

information to investors8. These funds may have complex tax structures and delays in distributing

important tax information9. These funds often charge high fees10.Investment agreements often give the manager authority to trade in

securities, markets or currencies that are not within the manager’s realm of expertise or contemplated investment strategy

To: Investment Committee From: Investment Staff Date: September 1, 2016 Re: SURS Fiscal Year 2017 Investment Plan

FY 2017 Investment Plan In order to formalize strategic plans for the investment portfolio for the coming year and provide transparency of the planning process, SURS staff has developed a formal investment plan for Fiscal Year 2017. The document, which follows this summary memorandum, marks the sixth year of the formal plan for the SURS investment program.

The Investment Plan reviews the results of fiscal year 2016 and defines the strategy for fiscal year 2017 in accordance with the Board-approved asset/liability study and Investment Policy. The Investment Plan is organized into the following sections:

• Overview – provides a review of FY 2016 performance and accomplishments and also summarizes the objectives for FY 2017

• Asset Allocation / Risk Management • Economic Outlook • Investment Strategies • Manager Diversity Program • Self-Managed Plan

This Plan is intended to be a living document. Since financial markets are dynamic, revisions to the plan may be required and will be communicated to the Board in a timely manner. In the event of changing circumstances or opportunities during the year, items will be discussed with the Board as necessary. Hedged Strategies Search The asset/liability study approved by the Board in June 2014 included a 5% allocation to hedged strategies. In October 2015, the Board retained two hedge fund-of-funds providers, PAAMCO and KKR Prisma, to manage 3% of the total portfolio. At the September 2015 meeting, the Board approved that a search be conducted to identify qualified providers of hedged strategies to complete the 5% allocation. Due to the multiple searches taking place over the past 18 months, this search remains outstanding.

Exhibit 8a

The proposed Investment Plan envisions much of the investment activity taking place in FY 2017 to revolve around structure studies of each asset class. If the hedged strategies search is not likely to be completed during the coming fiscal year, staff and NEPC suggest the rescinding of the hedged strategies search authorized by the Board in September 2015. The search can be reinstated at a later date closer to the actual time of implementation, if desired. Rescinding the search would end the quiet period for this search. If the Board wishes to fully implement the hedged strategies allocation at this time, multiple options exist:

1. One option to consider is allocating the additional 2% of assets to the existing hedge fund-of-fund service providers. This action would result in moving the portfolio to its long term policy targets in the near term. Assets could be reallocated from the hedge fund-of-fund providers to other hedged strategies providers in the future, should the Board desire.

2. Another alternative would be to fully fund the Gladius equity index option overlay strategy (up to 2% of the Total Fund) and include the strategy in the hedged strategies asset class.

Staff looks forward to discussing this issue with the Board at the upcoming meeting. Recommendation SURS staff recommends:

• That the SURS Fiscal Year 2017 Investment Plan be accepted and filed, as presented.

• That the following motion from the September 2015 investment committee meeting be rescinded: - That a search be conducted to identify qualified providers of hedged strategies

consistent with the criteria expressed in the 2016 Investment Plan.

September 1, 2016 Board of Trustees State Universities Retirement System 1901 Fox Drive Champaign, IL 61820 RE: Fiscal Year 2017 Investment Plan Dear Board of Trustees: The Investment Staff is pleased to provide the SURS Investment Plan for Fiscal Year 2017. This document was developed in order to formalize the strategic plans for the investment portfolio for the coming year and provide transparency of the planning process. The Investment Plan for Fiscal Year 2017 marks the sixth year of the formal plan for the SURS investment program. The Investment Plan reviews the results of Fiscal Year 2016 and defines the strategy for Fiscal Year 2017 in accordance with the Board-approved asset/liability study and Investment Policy. Since financial markets are dynamic, revisions to the plan may be required and will be communicated to the Board in a timely manner. The SURS portfolio returned 0.2% during Fiscal Year 2016, net of fees, trailing the policy portfolio return of 0.8%. Weak investment manager performance in the domestic equity and fixed income asset classes contributed to the relative underperformance for the period. From a long term perspective, the SURS portfolio has performed well, earning an 8.1% annualized rate of return over the past 25 years, well in excess of both the policy portfolio return and the 7.25% assumed rate of return. When compared to a universe of other large public funds, the SURS return ranks near median for the one-, three- and five-year periods ending June 30, 2016. The portfolio ranks near the top quartile in the peer universe over longer time periods. As of June 30, 2016, the defined benefit plan is valued at approximately $16.8 billion while the Self-Managed Plan (SMP) is valued at approximately $1.8 billion. Many of the projects completed during FY 2016 focused on continuing implementation of the asset allocation policy targets approved by the SURS Board in June 2014. The new policy targets focus on increased portfolio diversification, with a reduction in the equity allocation and new commitments to emerging market debt, commodities and hedged strategies. SURS completed searches in private equity (emerging manager mandate), hedged strategies, commodities, and portfolio index option overlay. In addition, SURS took steps to continue its

II. Overview

Background The State Universities Retirement System (SURS) is the administrator of a cost-sharing, multiple employer public employee retirement system. SURS membership includes employees of the public universities and other affiliated organizations. Currently, SURS membership totals more than 230,000 active, inactive and retired participants. SURS maintains both a defined benefit and a defined contribution plan, known as the Self-Managed Plan (SMP). As of June 30, 2016, the defined benefit plan is valued at approximately $16.8 billion while the SMP is valued at approximately $1.8 billion. The investment portfolio is broadly diversified across equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity, commodities and other opportunistic investments. Approximately 42% of the portfolio is currently managed in passive or structured active strategies while the remaining 58% is managed in active strategies. Fiscal Year 2016 Performance Review Global financial markets continued to experience heightened levels of volatility and provided mixed performance over the course of the fiscal year due to both economic and political uncertainty. Although the U.S. equity market spent much of FY 2016 in negative territory, markets rallied toward the end of the period to produce a small positive return. The Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index ended the fiscal year with a return of 2.0%. Equity markets outside the U.S. did not fare as well, however, returning -10.2%, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index. Interest rates in the U.S. continued to decline from already low levels, with the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond falling from 3.1% to 2.3% over the course of the fiscal year. Accordingly, core fixed income markets returned 6.0% while Treasury Inflation Protected Securities returned 4.4% during the fiscal year period. Direct real estate and real estate investment trust securities (REITS) provided the strongest absolute returns during the fiscal year, as evidenced by the +12.6% return of the NCREIF ODCE Index, an index of open end direct real estate funds and the +11.6% return of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index. The table below illustrates the performance of the overall SURS investment portfolio relative to the policy portfolio, as of June 30, 2016. The SURS portfolio returned 0.2% during Fiscal Year 2016, lagging the policy portfolio return by approximately 0.6%.

On a relative basis, the domestic equity and fixed income portfolios were the biggest detractors to the overall portfolio’s performance. The aggregate underperformance in the domestic equity portfolio can be attributed to a combination of structural factors (slight tilt toward small and mid cap stocks) and poor performance by the underlying active investment managers during FY 2016. The fixed income portfolio also lagged its benchmark due to a combination of factors. Approximately half of the underperformance in the fixed income portfolio can be attributed to structural factors (presence of an unconstrained mandate) while the other half can be attributed to underperformance by several active fixed income managers. Although the non-U.S. equity asset class provided weak absolute returns, the portfolio performed well compared to its benchmark due to strong relative performance by active managers. From a long term perspective, the SURS portfolio has performed well, earning an 8.1% annualized rate of return over the past 25 years, well in excess of both the policy portfolio return and the 7.25% assumed rate of return2. When compared to a universe of other large public funds, the SURS return ranks near median for the one-, three- and five-year periods ending June 30, 2016, as illustrated in the chart that follows. The portfolio ranks near the top quartile in the peer universe over longer time periods.

Fiscal Year 2016 Accomplishments The following projects were completed during Fiscal Year 2016. In total, asset reallocations and new commitments of approximately $1.7 billion took place or were approved during FY 2016.

• Self-Managed Plan (SMP) – A Request for Proposal was released in May 2015 to identify two or more qualified SMP service providers. The process concluded in September 2015 with the retention of Fidelity Investments and TIAA-CREF as recordkeeping service providers. In addition, Fidelity was selected as the lead administrator for the SMP.

• Private Equity – In June 2015, SURS initiated a search to identify a private equity emerging manager fund of funds provider. The mandate is designed to focus exclusively on private equity funds with greater than 51% ownership held by minorities, females, or persons with a disability, as defined by Illinois statute. This allocation will assist SURS in meeting its 20% diversity goal, as documented in the Investment Policy. The search concluded in March 2016 when the Board committed $100 million to Muller & Monroe. In addition, in June 2016, SURS committed $150 million to Adams Street Partners to continue SURS’ investment in global private equity. These commitments, made in accordance with the current private equity funding plan, allow for consistent funding by vintage year and further enhance the diversification of the private equity portfolio.

• Real Estate – During FY 2015, a search was completed for qualified non-core real estate

managers, resulting in the hiring of one fund-of-funds provider and three direct real estate investment managers. Commitments to the four managers totaled $195 million and are in accordance with the current real estate funding plan approved during Fiscal Year 2015. All four managers began calling capital during FY 2016. These new allocations enabled SURS to achieve the policy target allocation to real estate during the fiscal year.

• Hedged Strategies – A search was initiated in December 2014 to identify diversified,

multi-strategy Fund of Hedge Fund providers. This search represents phase I of the implementation of the 5% hedged strategies allocation approved at the June 2014 meeting. In October 2015, KKR Prisma and Pacific Alternative Asset Management Company (PAAMCO) were selected by the Board to manage a total of 3% of the portfolio in hedge fund-of-fund strategies. Initial funding took place late in FY 2016.

• Commodities – In June 2015, the Board approved a search to identify qualified active commodities managers. The search concluded in December 2015 when PIMCO and Invesco were selected and allocated a total of 2% of the total portfolio, in accordance with the June 2014 asset/liability study. Initial funding took place late in FY 2016.

• Portfolio Index Option Overlay - At the September 2015 Investment Committee meeting, the Board approved a motion to conduct a search to identify qualified providers for portfolio overlay strategies. The strategy is designed to generate incremental income to the portfolio. The search concluded with the selection of Gladius Capital Management in April 2016. Contract negotiations on this strategy are currently underway. Gladius is a minority-owned firm.

Exhibit 8b


• Alternative Investments – SURS made net contributions of $112 million to the alternative investments program during calendar 2015, as shown in the following table. In total, the combined alternative investments program made $204 million in contributions and received $316 million in distributions during calendar year 2015.

Total Alternative Investments $ 316 $ (204) $ (112)

*Totals may not add due to rounding.

• Commitment to Diversity – SURS continues to be strongly committed to diversity throughout the investment program. In total, 19 firms owned by minorities, females, or persons with a disability (MFDB) directly manage a total of $4.2 billion, or 24.7% of the Total Fund, as of June 30, 2016. SURS employs a multi-strategy approach designed to maximize opportunities for qualified firms.

The Manager Diversity Program (MDP) is a SURS-sponsored initiative designed to identify and provide opportunities to highly successful MFDB investment management firms. Managers in the MDP contract directly with SURS. As of June 30, the MDP totals $2.7 billion and includes 17 minority- or female-owned investment managers (19 strategies). Increase in MDP assets of approximately $110 million during fiscal

year 2016. Second, SURS has retained Progress Investment Management (Progress), a

minority-owned firm, to serve as a manager of emerging managers. This collaboration with Progress allows SURS to extend its reach into the minority manager universe. As of June 30, the Progress program includes 12 minority- or female-owned investment managers and has total assets of $383 million. The program includes investments in the non-U.S. equity, core fixed income, and emerging market debt asset classes.

It is important to note that SURS’ commitment to diversity extends beyond

the bounds of the MDP and the Manager of Emerging Managers Program. In addition to the firms previously mentioned, SURS contracts with one other MFDB firm, bringing the total number of MFDB firms in direct partnership with SURS to 19. As mentioned previously, assets managed for SURS by these 19 firms are approximately $4.2 billion, or 24.7% of the Total Fund, as of June 30, 2016.

Exhibit 8b


• Trustee Education – Various educational topics were addressed during FY 2016, including asset allocation, hedge funds, commodities, and fee transparency, and a Trustee Educational Forum in February 2016, discussing Board governance, the Self-Managed Plan and diversity opportunities.

Challenges The continuing challenge to SURS remains the funding status of the Plan. Despite strong long term returns, SURS remains substantially underfunded.

• SURS is approximately 41.1% funded, as of June 30, 2016 (using the market value of assets method and a 7.25% return assumption), a slight decrease from 44.2% funded, as of June 30, 2015.

• The unfunded liability is estimated to be approximately $24.1 billion. It is important to

note, however, that since FY 2011, SURS has received the full annual statutory contribution from the State of Illinois. The FY 2016 contribution is $1.6 billion.

• The Plan’s cash needs continue to increase. SURS

expects to pay approximately $2.41 billion in benefit payments in Fiscal Year 2017, per the Fiscal Year 2015 actuarial valuation report prepared by SURS’ actuary, Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company.

Trustee & Staff Education SURS strives to provide high quality continuing education for the Board of Trustees and the staff. Educational topics are routinely included on Investment Committee agendas. In addition, longer, more in-depth educational sessions, often faciliated by guest speakers, are provided in periodic Investment Forums. These sessions provide both staff and Trustees the opportunity to expand their investment knowledge and keep current with new trends in the marketplace. Input is sought from Trustees on topics of interest for future educational sessions. A key focus is on identifying potential investment opportunities that could positively impact the investment portfolio. Potential educational topics being considered for the coming year include:

• Asset Allocation & Portfolio Strategy • Benchmarking and Structure of Public Market Asset Classes • Hedged Strategies • Private Equity • Real Estate • Fixed Income

Corporate Governance SURS continues to place a high priority on corporate governance. Proxy voting is one important component of the System’s corporate governance responsibilities. SURS has retained an industry expert, Marco Consulting Group, to ensure that all domestic proxy ballots are voted in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines approved by the Board. Proxies of non-domestic shares are voted by SURS’ investment managers in the exclusive interests of System participants and beneficiaries. During fiscal year 2016, Marco Consulting Group provided an annual summary of the 2016 proxy season to the SURS Board. The Board also conducted an annual review and approval of the SURS Proxy Policy Statement. A search for a provider of proxy voting services is currently underway, with a recommendation to the Board tentatively scheduled for September 2016.

Additional actions pertaining to corporate governance include membership in the Council for Institutional Investors (CII), a nonprofit organization of pension funds, foundations, and endowments with combined assets of over $3 trillion. CII’s mission is “to educate its members, policymakers and the public about corporate governance, shareowner rights and related investment issues, and to advocate on members’ behalf.” In addition, SURS is a signatory to the United Nations-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) initiative. The PRI initiatives are voluntary principles that acknowledge the importance of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues to company performance. SURS strives to keep abreast of trends and issues in this area and continues to explore efforts that might safeguard the value of the investment portfolio. SURS seeks to raise awareness of PRI with others in the investment management industry. Currently, NEPC, SURS’ investment consultant, and 14 of SURS’ investment managers are signatories to PRI, representing over half of the SURS assets.

Exhibit 8b


Investment Management Fees SURS pays close attention to the level of investment management fees paid to its external investment managers. Fees are negotiated with investment managers prior to the commencement of the relationship with SURS and may be subsequently renegotiated, if appropriate, especially in instances where an investment manager receives an additional allocation(s). Fees vary significantly among investment managers, with the services of private markets managers, such as those in real estate, private equity, infrastructure, etc., being generally higher than those of public markets managers. During fiscal year 2016, staff negotiated more favorable fee arrangements with nine new and existing investment managers. In aggregate, these fee reductions are expected to result in approximately $1.1 million in fee savings. In total, SURS paid $58.4 million or approximately 35 basis points in investment management fees and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2016. Total investment management fees for fiscal year 2017 are projected to increase by approximately $1.3 million from fiscal year 2016 budgeted fees. Staffing The Investment Department is made up of seven investment professionals. The Senior Investment Accounting Officer also works in tandem with the Investment Department and is an integral part of overall investment operations. On August 1, 2016, Daniel Allen, Chief Investment Officer for the past 11 years, retired from the organization. SURS thanks Dan for his commitment, dedication and service to the SURS’ membership and staff and wishes him well in the future. A search to fill the resulting vacancy is currently in progress. Also, in the past year, SURS added one Investment Officer to fill a vacant position. SURS Investment Team members have an average of approximately 17 years investment experience. All investment team members have undergraduate degrees, with the majority also holding graduate degrees. Professional certifications among the team members include two Certified Public Accountants (CPA), four Chartered Financial Analysts (CFA), and one Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA). During the past several years, SURS has been increasing the portfolio’s allocation to alternative investments. While alternative assets offer the benefits of diversification and potential return enhancement, they also require more intensive staff resources for administration and monitoring. Accordingly, as allocations to private market investments have increased, the investment staff has grown modestly in response. These new hires will augment staff resources to monitor and administer the investment portfolio. Staffing needs will continue to be assessed going forward. The SURS Investment Department employed two interns for the summer of 2015 from Eastern Illinois University and one intern for the summer of 2016, also from Eastern Illinois University. One intern continues to be employed at SURS. The interns were placed with the assistance of the Toigo Foundation. SURS is committed to staff development and training to assist employees in realizing their maximum potential. In addition, SURS continues to strive to maintain competitive compensation and promote a positive workplace environment for all employees.

Outreach SURS believes active involvement in the investment community is beneficial at both the individual and organizational levels. Continuing education, networking opportunities and increased organizational visibility are a few of the many benefits. The list below highlights the various organizations of which SURS or SURS investment staff are members:

• American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) • CFA Institute • CFA Institute of Chicago • Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association • Council of Compliance Officers • Council of Institutional Investors • Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) • Institutional Society of Risk Professionals (ISRP) • National Association of Securities Professionals (NASP) • National Association of State Investment Officers (NASIO) • National Association of State Investment Professionals (NASIP) • New America Alliance • Pension Real Estate Association • Robert Toigo Foundation Board of Directors • United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI)

In addition, SURS staff attended and/or participated as panelists in several investment-related conferences throughout the fiscal year. SURS staff also attended a myriad of advisory council and annual meetings for SURS investment managers as part of annual due diligence efforts.

III. Asset Allocation / Risk Management

Asset Allocation The purpose of the asset allocation policy is to establish an Investment Policy framework for SURS with a high likelihood, in the Board’s judgment, of realizing SURS’ investment objective. The most recent asset/liability study was completed in June 2014 with the assistance of NEPC. The purpose of the study was to review the projected financial status of the pension plan over the next several years and to assess the appropriateness of the current asset allocation relative to the expected progress of liabilities and cash flows. The asset mix ultimately selected by the Board is expected to improve the portfolio’s risk/return profile by diversifying away from equities into relatively uncorrelated asset classes. A similar growth profile is expected while downside protection is enhanced. SURS plans to formally revisit asset allocation targets in early 2017. Liquidity Considerations Investment portfolios can benefit from a portion of assets in illiquid investments. However, illiquid investments add another dimension to liquidity management. Liquidity to pay benefits and respond to adverse funding or financial market downturns is critical. As part of the recent asset-liability study, NEPC conducted a liquidity analysis to determine how the SURS investment portfolio would respond to a stressed market scenario. The study projected sound liquidity of the portfolio in the base case environment but acknowledged that, in a stressed case, the Plan would consume a significant portion of liquidity sources over six years. Overall, NEPC determined the SURS portfolio would likely continue to benefit from maintaining diversified exposure to illiquid assets. Although it is reasonable to plan to receive the statutory contributions from the State, it is important to acknowledge there is a risk of receiving a level of contributions less than the required amount. SURS prospective funding experience will be critical in determining the future financial health of the System. The certified contribution for FY 2017 is approximately $1.7 billion. Capital Market Assumptions The projected return and risk assumptions used in the process were developed by NEPC. NEPC’s most recent capital market projections, which are refreshed annually, are shown in the tables on the following pages and generally reflect moderately higher return expectations among global equity and credit assets compared to last year’s 5-7 year return assumptions. Capital market expectations represent passive exposure (i.e., beta only). Return expectations are net of passive fees.

Strategic Policy Targets The strategic policy targets resulting from the most recent asset/liability study are shown in the following table. Using NEPC’s 2016 risk and return projections, a passive portfolio composed in such a manner is projected to produce a geometric return of 6.4% over the five to seven year period, falling short of the 7.25% actuarial rate of investment return3. (Note: SURS’ returns have significantly exceeded the actuarial rate of return over the long term, as evidenced by the 8.1% 25-year return). Over the long term, however, the projected return is 7.5%, higher than the return assumption. Also, it is important to note active management is projected to add additional value over and above passive implementation. SURS periodically reviews the actuarial return assumption for reasonableness.

Compared to the return projections using NEPC’s 2015 capital market assumptions, the 2016 return projection is slightly higher (6.4% in 2016 vs. 6.2% in 2015). The modest increase in the return projection is a result of slightly higher return expectations among global equity and credit assets as shown in the Capital Market Projections table.

3 On June 13, 2014, the SURS Board of Trustees approved lowering the System’s assumed rate of investment return to 7.25% from 7.75%. The rate is effective as of June 30, 2014.

Risk Management Risk is monitored through various forms of analysis and reporting in an attempt to understand risks within the Fund, and to ensure adequate compensation for the level of risk assumed. Analysis will occur at various levels of detail, which include individual manager, asset class and total Fund. In addition to relative performance evaluation, an analysis of diversification, benchmark risk, active risk, total risk, value at risk, and other risk measures will be reported. Analysis will be conducted on an ex-post and ex-ante basis to identify and quantify both forward looking and backward looking risk metrics. Staff will review portfolios, asset classes, and total Fund information on an ongoing basis in order to maintain an understanding of potential risks within the portfolio. Individual manager portfolios or asset classes demonstrating higher than expected levels of risk will be examined in greater detail and any necessary adjustments will be made immediately, or a plan for doing so will be developed. Alternatively, justification for maintaining the exposure will be provided to the Investment Committee. Shown below and on the following pages is a sampling of risk analytics produced by NEPC and The Northern Trust Company, SURS’ custodian, to assist SURS in monitoring the risk profile of the Total Fund.

IV. Economic Outlook A variety of sources were used to develop this outlook for Fiscal Year 2017. Consideration was given to information from investment consultants, investment managers, discussions with peers and informational publications. Summary:

• The outlook for the U.S. economy remains healthy but debatable. According to the FOMC meeting forecast released on June 16th, 2016, the U.S. GDP growth in 2016 will be 2%, slightly slower than in 2015, and it will remain at 2% in 2017 and 2018.

• The unemployment rate is forecasted to be 4.7% in 2016 and to slightly drop to 4.6% in 2017, lower than the 6.7% Fed target. Structural unemployment has increased as people have not been able to return to their pre-crisis high-paying jobs.

• Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, Brexit, revealed growing dissatisfaction with globalization and the political elite. According to the IMF, Brexit has negatively affected the global economy by substantially increasing economic, political, and institutional uncertainty. Although Brexit could send the U.K. economy into a recession and slow down the economy of the euro-area, it is expected that policymakers will ensure a “smooth and predictable transition,” thus avoiding a euro crisis and greatly minimizing any negative impact on the global economy. The IMF estimates that the U.K. economy will expand 1.7% this year and it will slow down to 1.3% in 2017.

• Asia’s economic growth forecasts remain positive. It is expected that the region will expand by 5.6% in 2016 and 5.7% in 2017. China is expected to meet the forecast growth of 5.6% in 2016 and 6.3% in 2017. India is expected to grow by 7.4% in 2016 and 7.8% in 2017. Central Asia has been affected by fiscal pressures from continued low oil prices, resulting in a downward adjustment to growth of 0.4% to 1.7% in 2016 but expected to rise in 2017, according to the Asian Development Bank.

• The Fed continues to monitor the timing of rate hikes as consumption growth increases but industry and investment spending have not shown signs of acceleration. Economic uncertainty in Europe has also played a role in the delay of rate-related decisions. In addition, the U.S. presidential election has exposed dissatisfaction with the status quo, translating into added economic uncertainty and negatively affecting corporate investment plans. Additional rate hikes are not expected until after the U.S. elections.

V. Fiscal Year 2017 Portfolio Strategies Financial Goal & Strategic Objectives The assets of the System will be invested solely for the benefit of participants and beneficiaries within the constraints of applicable Illinois Statutes and the guidelines contained in the SURS Investment Policy document and each manager’s Investment Management Agreement. In addition, the following financial goal and strategic objectives for the SURS plan have been established:

The SURS Financial Goal The financial goal as set forth in the SURS Strategic Plan is: To ensure the financial soundness of the System. The strategic objectives designed to achieve the SURS Financial Goal are as follows:

• Secure the annual required contribution • Achieve long term, sustainable, above average, risk-adjusted returns • Manage the risk and volatility of assets and liabilities to assist in maintaining sufficient

funds to pay benefits and mitigate the cost of contributions • Manage expense at an optimal level to achieve the greatest return on investment. • Make modifications to benefit/plan design as required

In addition, SURS has a goal of protecting assets through sound risk management and ethical practices.

Strategic Policy Asset Allocation Targets Over time, the investment portfolio has undergone meaningful change as a result of the availability of new investment strategies and changes in capital market assumptions. The public equity portfolio has become increasingly global in nature. In addition, alternative asset classes, including private equity and real estate, have assumed a more prominent role in the investment program over the past decade. In June 2014, after concluding an asset/liability study, the Board approved new strategic policy targets. The asset mix approved at that time includes a reduction in public equity exposure by ten percentage points and the introduction of new investments in hedged strategies, emerging market debt and commodities. The reduced strategic policy allocation to public equities is a result of lower return expectations in these asset classes after periods of above trend returns. By allocating assets from public equities to other areas such as emerging market debt, hedged strategies and commodities, SURS is able to reduce the overall expected risk of the portfolio while maintaining the target level of expected return. The following table illustrates the portfolio’s current asset allocation (as of June 30, 2016) relative to the new strategic policy targets and also illustrates the progress made implementing the new policy targets since June 30, 2015.

• Private Equity – At the June 2014 Investment Committee meeting, the Board approved the adoption of a three-year private equity funding plan designed to maintain SURS private equity allocation at 6%. The funding plan included annual allocations of:

Calendar Year Available

Commitment Amount Commitments Approved

to Date 2015 $250 million $125 million 2016 $300 million $250 million 2017 $300 million -- Total $850 million

The Board approved a private equity fund-of-funds search at their April 21, 2016 meeting. At the conclusion of the search, tentatively scheduled for December 2016, commitments will resume to the private equity asset class. In addition, a private equity funding plan for calendar years 2018-2020 will be developed and presented to the Board in June 2017.

• Non-Core Real Estate – In September 2014 the Board approved a real estate funding plan for calendar years 2015-17 designed to achieve and maintain SURS private real estate allocation at 6%. The three-year funding plan totaling $300 million included

Exhibit 8b


annual commitments of $100 million. To date, $195 million has been allocated, leaving the final $105 million to allocate in 2017. In addition, a real estate pacing model for 2018-2020 will be developed and presented to the Board for consideration during Fiscal Year 2017.

• Hedged Strategies – Staff and NEPC will continue to work with the Board to review

the remaining 2% allocation to hedged strategies.

• Throughout the Fiscal Year – Asset Class Structure Studies – Staff will be working with the Investment Consultant, NEPC, to review each asset class in depth in an attempt to identify further efficiencies within the SURS Investment Portfolio. Results of the studies and recommendations for change, if applicable, will be presented to the Investment Committee for discussion and consideration.

Ongoing Responsibilities

• Diversity Initiatives – SURS will continue to review opportunities in the investment program to consider the utilization of minorities, females and persons with a disability. Investment managers of diversity are always encouraged to participate in the search process if an applicable strategy/mandate is identified. o As of June 30, 2016, the MDP is valued at approximately $2.7 billion and

includes 17 MFDB investment management firms and 19 strategies.

o Progress Investment Management (Progress), a minority-owned firm, serves as a manager of emerging managers for SURS. As of June 30, the Progress program includes 12 minority- or female-owned investment managers with 14 mandates and has total assets of $383 million.

• SURS’ commitment to diversity extends beyond the bounds of the MDP. In addition to the programs previously mentioned, SURS contracts with one other MFDB firm, bringing the total number of MFDB firms in direct partnership with SURS to 19. As mentioned previously, assets managed for SURS by these 19 firms are approaching $4.2 billion, or 24.7% of the Total Fund, as of June 30, 2016.

• SURS is currently in discussions to potentially host an outreach event with other

Illinois public pension systems to provide opportunites for the sharing of information between the MFDB firms and the pension systems. Objectives of the event include to increase SURS’ knowledge of the minority investment management community, inform the firms of SURS’ procurement policies, provide contact points within the organization, and distribute information on upcoming opportunities within the portfolio.

• As SURS reviews the structure of each asset class during the coming fiscal year, a

primary focus will be to search for opportunities to increase diversity in each segment of the portfolio.

• Investment Manager Oversight, Due Diligence and Risk Management – A critical duty

of the investment team and NEPC is to monitor the numerous investment managers under contract with SURS. Each manager plays a role in the success of the overall

Exhibit 8b


program and extensive resources are utilized to ensure the strategies are functioning as desired. Risk management monitoring of the program continues to expand and evolve.

• Enhancements to Manager Performance Reporting – Staff will continue to work with

the Board to fine-tune the performance reports to provide an optimal mix of risk and return measures to better aid in decisionmaking.

• Fees and Compliance Oversight – SURS continuously strives to obtain the most favorable fee terms from investment providers. Negotiations during FY 2016 resulted in annual savings of over $600,00, as well as one-time savings of approximately $480,000. Compliance monitoring efforts includes continuous interaction with NEPC as well as the custodian, Northern Trust.

• Investment Policy – Throughout the year, staff reviews the existing Investment Policy and makes note of any revisions to further improve the document. Annually at the September meeting, staff presents an updated Investment Policy to the Board for review and consideration. Trustee input into the Policy is appreciated.

• Trustee and staff education will continue to be a priority during Fiscal Year 2017.

Fiscal Year 2017 Public Equity Strategy The primary focus in fiscal year 2017 will be working with NEPC to conduct a structure analysis for the asset class to determine the most efficient means of positioning the public equity portfolio. In the aggregate, the public equity portfolio (U.S., non-U.S. and global equity) is 2.4% overweight relative to the new strategic policy target. Continued emphasis will be on monitoring the portfolio and underlying investment managers for performance that meets or exceeds expectations and for compliance with the Investment Policy and investment manager guidelines. NEPC, the general investment consultant for SURS, will assist in the monitoring and strategy efforts. Fiscal Year 2017 Fixed Income Strategy A key focus during Fiscal Year 2017 will be a review and assessment of the core fixed income portfolio to determine the optimal structure in what is likely to be a rising interest rate environment going forward. Additional fixed income mandates may be considered in order to provide further diversification and enhance returns. The portfolio will continue to be monitored to ensure that the underlying investment managers meet or exceed expectations for performance as well as compliance with the Investment Policy and investment manager guidelines. NEPC will assist in the monitoring and strategy efforts.

Alternative Strategies Fiscal Year 2017 Real Estate Strategy As of June 30, 2016, investments in real estate investment trust securities (REITs) comprise 4.1% of the total portfolio, and investments in private real estate investments total 5.9% of the portfolio. The long-term strategic policy target mix allocates 4% to REITs and 6% to private real estate. Commitments to non-core real estate managers during FY 2016 have eliminated the previous 1.0% underweight to private real estate. In September 2014, the Board approved a three year pacing model totaling $300 million for calendar years 2015-2017. Thus far, $195 million in commitments have been approved. The remaining $105 million will be committed over the course of calendar years 2016-2017 to stay on course with the real estate pacing analysis and will continue to focus on the non-core segment of the real estate market. A real estate pacing model for 2018-2020 will be developed and is scheduled to be presented to the Board for consideration during Fiscal Year 2017. The chart that follows illustrates the diversification of the real estate portfolio by type, as of June 30, 2016. Fiscal Year 2017 Private Equity Strategy As of June 30, 2016, the private equity portfolio comprises 5.4% of the total portfolio, slightly under the strategic policy target of 6.0%. The private equity portfolio is broadly diversified by vintage year, sub-class and geography.

In June 2014, the Board approved a three-year private equity funding plan for calendar years 2015-2017, totaling $850 million. The plan allows for consistent funding by vintage year to continue the System’s quality private equity program. The Board approved a private equity fund-of-funds search at their April 21, 2016 meeting. At the conclusion of the search, tentatively scheduled for December 2016, commitments will resume to the private equity asset class. In addition, a private equity funding plan for calendar years 2018-2020 will be developed and presented to the Board during FY 2017. Fiscal Year 2017 Hedged Portfolio Strategy A 5% strategic policy allocation to hedged strategies was included as a part of the strategic policy mix approved by the Board in June 2014. Implementation of phase I of the hedged strategies portfolio has been completed with 3% of the portfolio allocated to two hedge fund-of-funds providers. The Board is currently reviewing the remaining 2% allocation to hedged strategies. Fiscal Year 2017 Opportunity Fund Strategy Currently, infrastructure investments are the sole component of the Opportunity Fund. In April 2016, the Board retained an equity index option overlay strategy. The income producing strategy will be initiated during FY2017. Additional opportunities arising during Fiscal Year 2017 may be brought to the Board’s attention, if appropriate. Fiscal Year 2017 Commodities Strategy The strategic policy mix approved by the Board in June 2014 includes a 2.0% strategic policy allocation to commodities. This allocation is one element of the plan to reduce SURS’ public equity exposure and increase the portfolio’s diversification. Initial passive commodities exposure was gained synthetically via the cash overlay manager. A search for qualified active commodities investment managers concluded in FY 2016, with the selection of two active managers to provide commodities exposure to the portfolio. Fiscal Year 2017 Cash Overlay Strategy A cash overlay program was implemented in September 2014. The program is designed to assist the Plan in remaining fully invested consistent with policy targets and to efficiently manage exposure to cash flows. The overlay program also allows efficient implementation of rebalancing and changes to asset allocation targets.

VI. Manager Diversity Program Overview The Manager Diversity Program (MDP) is a SURS-sponsored initiative designed to identify and provide opportunities to highly successful investment management firms owned by minorities, females, and persons with a disability. Key items of note:

• Developed in 2004 to identify and retain MFDB firms • Managers contract directly with SURS • Market Value of $2.678 billion, as of June 30, 2016 • 6 components:

Contract negotiations were completed in August 2016. ***17 firms and 19 strategies due to two strategies with one private equity investment manager and two strategies with one real estate manager. Performance Objectives The performance objective of the MDP is to seek annualized investment returns, net of investment management fees, in excess of the market goal for 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods. While individual investment managers may underperform in any given year, the diversification within the program should limit the underperformance at the program level. Fiscal Year 2016 Performance Review The MDP exceeded its benchmark during Fiscal Year 2016 primarily due to manager outperformance relative to the benchmark in the Non-U.S. equity portfolios led by Ativo Capital, Strategic Global Advisors, and GlobeFlex Capital. In terms of best absolute performance, the Franklin Templeton EMREFF Real Estate portfolio returned 10.0% versus 7.8% for the benchmark. In addition, all of the Fixed Income managers outperformed the benchmark which returned 6.0% over the fiscal year. As a result, the MDP pulled ahead of the benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year, and since inception time periods.

*Net of investment management fees Fiscal Year 2016 MDP Accomplishments As of June 30, 2016, the MDP is valued at approximately $2.7 billion. A summary of MDP activities follows.

• The Board approved raising the goal of new commitments to alternative investments with firms of diversity from 10% to 20%.

• The Private Equity Emerging Manager Providers continue to make commitments to qualified private equity funds.

• SURS also committed $100 million to Muller & Monroe for a new MFDB mandate. This Board-approved allocation will assist SURS in meeting its goal that 20% of new commitments in alternative investments be awarded to qualified firms owned by minorities, females and persons with a disability, as documented in the Investment Policy. The mandate will focus exclusively on private equity funds with greater than 51% ownership held by minorities, females, or persons with a disability, as defined by statute.

SURS’ commitment to diversity extends beyond the bounds of the MDP. In addition to the 17 firms utilized in the MDP, SURS contracts with two additional MFDB firms, bringing the total number of MFDB firms in partnership with SURS to 19. Assets managed for SURS by these 19 firms are approaching $4.2 billion, or 24.7% of the Total Fund, as of June 30, 2016. In addition, in April 2016, SURS committed up to 2% of the portfolio to be allocated to equity index option strategies, to be managed as an overlay mandate, by Gladius Capital Management, a minority-owned firm, contingent upon successful contract negotiations. Also, SURS’ hedge fund of funds providers are required to allocate at least 20% of each portfolio to MFDB firms. Fiscal Year 2017 MDP Strategy Plans for the MDP in FY 2017 include the following:

• Expand industry outreach efforts • Continue diligent monitoring of the overall program, manager structure, and risk

parameters within the program • Provide a thorough review of the MDP to the Board at the March 2017 Board meeting • Identify potential opportunities to increase funding for existing qualified investment

managers • Continued interaction with system consultant, NEPC, via more frequent discussions

regarding MFDB investment managers

Exhibit 8b


VII. Self-Managed Plan Overview The Self-Managed Plan (SMP) is a defined contribution option available to SURS members. The SMP has grown steadily since the plan’s inception in April 1998. To date, over 30,700 members have participated in the plan. Highlights of the plan include:

• More than $1.82 billion in assets as of June 30, 2016 (including the SMP forfeiture and disability reserves of more than $98 million)

• One Lead Administrator o Fidelity Investments

• Two Service Providers – Fidelity Investments ($1.0 billion in assets) – TIAA ($702 million in assets)

• 27 investment options as of June 30, 2016 – Includes series of lifecycle funds in both TIAA and Fidelity lineups

• Over 20,100 Participants currently invested Fiscal Year 2016 SMP Accomplishments

• During fiscal year 2016, an enhanced communications program was developed and implemented in conjunction with the SMP providers.

• In continuing efforts to improve the cost effectiveness of the SMP, the fixed dollar pricing structure in effect with each provider was reduced, and a revenue credit account to be used for the exclusive benefit of participants was retained.

• SURS and the providers worked collaboratively to implement the Choice Election Process, an electronic process allowing members who select the SMP to choose their investment option allocations via the providers, and the SPARK standard layout for electronic submission of information between SURS and each provider.

• A search for SMP providers of recordkeeping services approved by the Board in September 2014 was initiated during May 2015 and concluded in September 2015.

• A lead administrator arrangement was approved as a component of the recordkeeping services search and implemented in April 2016.

• The investment option menu was reviewed in coordination with the recordkeeping services search and approved revisions were implemented in April 2016.

Fiscal Year 2017 SMP Strategy Statute requires SURS utilize between two and seven service providers in the SMP. The diversity and number of investment options in the menu of SMP offerings is routinely monitored and was reviewed as a component of the SMP recordkeeping provider search conducted in Fiscal Year 2016. There are no plans to expand the offerings; however, changes may be recommended in order to eliminate duplication of similar offerings, omit weak performing options and adjust the allocation between active and passive strategies. Also, SURS takes into consideration that the SMP is a primary retirement plan, as well as participant inquiries and requests, when determining what funds to potentially include in the lineup.

Exhibit 8b


Plans for the SMP in FY 2017 include the following: • Continue diligent monitoring of the overall program, providers and investment options • Provide a thorough review of the providers, investment options and fees at the April 2017

Board meeting • Continue interaction with investment consultant NEPC via frequent discussions regarding

the SMP

Exhibit 8b

To: Investment Committee From: SURS Staff Date: September 1, 2016 Re: Review of Investment Policy Introduction The Investment Policy is reviewed annually, typically at the September Investment Committee meeting. Trustees McCrohon and Cullen are currently in the process of a thorough review and significant revision of the defined benefit Investment Policy. The revised policy will be discussed at a future Investment Committee meeting. At this time, staff is seeking approval for proposed revisions limited to Section XIV of the Investment Policy (Emerging Investment Managers and Broker-Dealers). For your review, a red-line version of the current Policy follows this memo.

Summary of Key Revisions Section XIV—Emerging Investment Managers and Broker-Dealers As required by statute, the goals for utilization of firms owned by minorities, females, and person with a disability (MFDB) have been reviewed as part of this annual Investment Policy review.

Staff is recommending the following changes to this section: • An increase from 10.0% to 15.0% in the MFDB brokerage goal for structured active U.S.

equity separate accounts. • An increase from 10.0% to 15.0% in the MFDB brokerage goal for structured active non-

U.S. equity separate accounts. • An increase from 10.0% to 15.0% in the MFDB brokerage goal for active REITS

Additional proposed revisions include language to reflect new statutory requirements for aspirational goals for assets under management with firms of diversity as well as other minor edits to eliminate redundancy with other sections of the Investment Policy.

I. Mission Statement The Board of Trustees (“Board”) of the State Universities Retirement System (“SURS”, “System”) has a fiduciary responsibility to the Members and Beneficiaries of the System. In recognition of this responsibility, the Board has adopted the following Mission Statement:

The SURS Mission The mission of the State Universities Retirement System (SURS) is: To secure and deliver the retirement benefits promised to our members. The purpose of this Mission Statement is to provide broad operational direction to the Board, Staff, and contractors of SURS.

Exhibit 9b


Page 4

II. Statement of Purpose of Investment Policy This document specifically outlines the investment philosophy and practices of SURS and has been developed to serve as a reference point for the management of System assets. In order to assist System participants in achieving their financial security objectives, the Board shall adopt a long-term plan by which the assets of the System will be maintained and enhanced through prudent investments. The Board of Trustees shall at all times have a written Investment Policy that reflects and is consistent with the statutory constraints. In addition, these guidelines shall, among other things, include specification of the investment objectives of the System, the target asset allocations, and the appropriate benchmarks to be used for evaluating the performance of the funds and the asset classes within the funds. In developing this Investment Policy, the Board and Staff understand and accept their fiduciary obligations to the Members of the System. These obligations are legal in nature, and are outlined in the Illinois Pension Code [40 ILCS 5]. Investments shall satisfy the conditions of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, and in particular, the prudent person standard of 40 ILCS 5/1-109. In summary form, the provisions specifically referring to the definitions, duties, and responsibilities of a fiduciary are these: a fiduciary is anyone who has discretion in managing retirement system assets or in

administering the retirement system, or who renders investment advice for direct or indirect compensation. [40 ILCS 5/1-101.2.]

a fiduciary must discharge its duties to the retirement system for the exclusive purposes of providing benefits to participants and beneficiaries, and defraying administrative expenses of the retirement system. [40 ILCS 5/1-109(a).]

a fiduciary must discharge its duties to the retirement system with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence that a prudent person would use in a similar enterprise. [40 ILCS 5/1-109(b).]

a fiduciary must discharge its duties to the retirement system by diversifying the investments to minimize the risk of large losses, unless prudence dictates otherwise. [40 ILCS 5/1-109(c).]

a fiduciary must discharge its duties to the retirement system in accordance with Articles 1 and 15 of the Illinois Pension Code. [40 ILCS 5/1-109(d).]

a fiduciary must not cause the retirement system to engage in prohibited transactions (40 ILCS 5/1-110(a)). A fiduciary must not deal with the retirement system’s assets for its own interest, or act in any transaction on behalf of any party whose interests are adverse to the retirement system or its participants or beneficiaries, or receive any consideration for its own personal account from any party dealing with the retirement system in connection with a transaction involving the assets of the retirement system. [40ILCS 5/1-110(b)].

Exhibit 9b

These statutes are the foundation for development of SURS’ Investment Policy. For brevity and clarity, the Board adopts the following interpretation of the statute as its "Guiding Principles":

Principles Guiding SURS Investment Activity 1. Preserve the long-term principal of the Trust fund. 2. Maximize total return within prudent risk parameters. 3. Act in the exclusive interest of the Members of the System. These principles, combined with the applicable sections of the Illinois Pension Code [40 ILCS 5], serve as the basic guideline for this Investment Policy.

Exhibit 9b


Page 6

III. Financial Goal & Strategic Objectives The assets of the System will be invested solely for the benefit of participants and beneficiaries within the constraints of applicable Illinois Statutes and the guidelines contained in this document. In addition, the following financial goal and strategic objectives for the SURS plan have been established:

The SURS Financial Goal The financial goal as set forth in the SURS Strategic Plan is: To assure the financial soundness of the System. The strategic objectives designed to achieve the SURS Financial Goal are as follows:

Secure the annual required contribution (ARC) Achieve long term, sustainable, above average, risk-adjusted returns Manage the risk and volatility of assets Manage expense to achieve an optimal rate of return Manage operational expense at a prudent level

In addition, SURS has a goal of protecting assets through sound risk management and ethical practices.

Exhibit 9b

IV. Role Definitions SURS is one of the larger public pension funds in the United States; as such its operational requirements are complex. The Board relies heavily on both Internal Staff and external contractors in order to properly administer the System and implement its investment strategies. Because of the number of parties involved, their roles as fiduciaries must be clearly identified to increase operational efficiency, to ensure clear lines of responsibility, and to reduce or eliminate duplication of effort. Board of Trustees The Board has the responsibility of establishing and maintaining broad policies and objectives for all aspects of the System’s operation. The Board is responsible for prudent investment and expenditure of the System’s funds and assets. Specifically with regard to investments, the Board takes action upon recommendations that come from its Investment Committee. The Board also approves actuarial assumptions, certifies contribution rates and determines policies pertaining to the administration of the plans and benefits under its jurisdiction and responsibility. Trustees shall carry out their functions solely in the interest of the members and benefit recipients and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits and defraying reasonable expenses incurred in performing such duties, as required by law. The Trustees shall act in accordance with the provisions of State Statute and with the care, skill, prudence and diligence in light of the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims by diversifying the investments of the System so as to minimize the risk of large losses, unless in light of such circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so. All members of the Board of Trustees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the System for any reasonable cost or expenses incurred as a result of any actual or threatened litigation or administrative proceeding arising out of the performance of the Board member’s duties in accordance with 40 ILCS 5/1-107. No member of the Board of Trustees may participate in deliberations or vote on any matter before the Board which will, or is likely to, result in direct, measurable gain to the Board member, to the Board member’s immediate family members, or to that Board member's employer. Formal Review Schedule The Board recognizes that even though the System’s investments are subject to short-term volatility, it shall maintain a long-term investment focus. This prevents ad-hoc revisions to the philosophy and policies in reaction to either speculation or short-term market fluctuations. In order to preserve this long-term view, the Board has adopted the following formal review schedule:

Exhibit 9b


Page 8

Investment Committee The Board establishes an investment committee (the “Committee”) that reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on investment actions including, but not limited to, the following investment-related activities:

1. Approval of policies related to the Investment Program and oversight of compliance with the investment policy and the laws of Illinois;

2. Approval of asset allocation policy targets, benchmarks and investment manager structure;

3. Selection and termination of the master trustee/custodian (“Custodian”); 4. Selection, termination and funding of external investment managers; 5. Selection and termination of investment consulting relationship(s) and other third

party service providers; 6. Review of performance, asset allocation, and risk reports over various time periods.

Executive Director The Executive Director is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Board. Responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Executive Director include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Planning, organizing, and administering the operations of the System under broad policy guidance and direction from the Board. Examples of such duties include:

a. Execution of investment management agreements or other contracts with Board-approved investment service providers, with a report provided to the Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

b. Execution of contract amendments with existing Board-approved investment service providers, with a report provided to the Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

2. Monitoring of the performance of the investment portfolio; 3. Ensuring that funds are invested in accordance with Board policies; 4. Communicating with the Board, its Officers and Committee Chairs; 5. Studying, recommending, and implementing policy and operational procedures that

will enhance the investment program of SURS; and 6. Ensuring that proper internal controls are developed to safeguard the assets of the

System. Employees of the System shall be indemnified and held harmless by the System for actions within the scope of their employment, pursuant to 40 ILCS 5/1-107 and 108. This indemnification extends to former employees for actions within the scope of their employment at time of employment. In fulfilling these investment responsibilities, the Executive Director relies heavily on the internal investment staff and Consultant(s).

Formal Review Agenda Item Formal Review Schedule Total Fund Performance At least quarterly Asset Allocation Policy At least every three to five years Investment Policy At least annually

Exhibit 9b


Page 9

Internal Investment Staff The internal investment staff reports directly to the Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”) who in turn reports to the Executive Director. The internal investment staff provides internal investment management and/or consulting services to the Board and Executive Director. In the course of the CIO’s normal functions, the CIO will work directly with the Board, Investment Committee and its Chair(s). The frequency and content of reports to the Board are based on the requirements of the Investment Policy Statement as well as directives from the Board and/or its Investment Committee. The primary functions delegated by the Board to internal investment staff may include, but are not limited to:

1. Reviewing and drafting recommendations to the Investment Policy annually; 2. Analyzing and rebalancing the overall asset allocation of the System and its

portfolio structure; 3. Managing cashflow and liquidating assets, as necessary, to pay monthly

benefits; 4. Conducting due diligence and providing recommendations in the selection and

termination of external investment managers and external investment consultant(s);

5. Implementing the decisions of the Board regarding funding modifications, hiring, and termination of external investment managers;

6. Monitoring compliance with Board-approved policies and guidelines for all investment-related activities and third party service providers;

7. Oversight and monitoring of external investment managers, including, but not limited to, performance evaluation;

8. Approving revisions to investment manager guidelines, with agreement from the external investment consultant and General Counsel required;

9. Preparing performance, asset allocation, and risk reports for the Investment Committee;

10. Managing and monitoring the custodial bank relationship; 11. Consulting with legal counsel regarding investment matters; 12. Serving on advisory boards for fund investments when appropriate and voting

on issues as necessary to promote the best interests of the System in a fiduciary manner;

13. Responding to inquiries from various parties concerning the investments of the Fund in accordance with SURS communication policies;

14. Monitoring and reporting to the Investment Committee, as applicable, on programs related to the diversity of the Fund’s investment managers and brokers;

15. Completing other administrative duties related to the operation of the investment program, and

16. Serving as a liaison to the investment community. The SURS Staff has the responsibility to implement the Board decisions through negotiation, execution and enforcement of the investment management agreement and guidelines. All investment management agreements and amendments thereto, with the exception of revisions to investment manager guidelines, must be executed by the Executive Director. In the event that termination of an investment manager is warranted

Exhibit 9b


Page 10

under the Investment Manager Termination Guidelines, and prompt termination of the investment manager is necessary to protect and preserve System assets, SURS Staff may, with the prior approval of the Executive Director, terminate the investment manager prior to Board action. The Board shall be promptly notified of the decision to terminate the investment manager, and the decision shall be presented to the Investment Committee for ratification at its next meeting.

The internal investment staff also works closely with the external investment consultant(s). Recommendations to the Investment Committee will generally be developed jointly by the Staff and Consultant with advice to the Chair. Once an item is identified as a potential agenda item, Staff and Consultant begin working together on the issue. If one group has more expertise in the particular area than the other, that party may take the lead in facilitating work outputs. In most if not all cases, however, any analysis or recommendation that is made to the Committee will be developed jointly and agreed to or approved by both parties. External Investment Consultant(s) The Board shall generally have under contract an investment advisor who is a paid, professional consultant (“Consultant”) and who is qualified to provide the Board with investment advice by academic and professional training and experience and is considered an expert in the field of investment and finance. The Consultant's relationship with the Board shall be that of a fiduciary under 40 ILCS 5/1-101.2(2). The Consultant is hired by and reports directly to the Board of Trustees. The Consultant's duty is to work with the Board, Investment Committee and its Chair(s), and Staff in the management of the investment process. This includes regular meetings with the Board to provide an independent perspective on the Fund's goals, structure, performance and investment managers. In the course of the Consultant’s normal functions, the Consultant will work directly with the Staff to formulate and review investment goals, objectives, and policies; review performance of the total fund, asset classes and investment managers; and make recommendations to the Board as appropriate. The Consultant will assist Staff and the Committee with external investment manager selection and will promptly inform the System and discuss the impact of material changes taking place within any current investment manager's organization or investment process. The Consultant may also provide fiduciary education to inform the Board and Staff regarding significant trends in institutional investments and new investment opportunities. In addition, the Consultant will conduct an independent annual review of the Manager Diversity Program. The Board may elect to retain one or more Consultants that specialize in specific areas of asset consulting. An annual review of the Consultant will be conducted by Staff with any performance concerns communicated to the Board, if necessary. External Investment Managers The external investment managers (“investment managers”) are selected by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Board. The Staff and Consultant will provide the investment managers with explicit written directions detailing their particular Board-approved assignments. Duties of investment managers include, but may not be limited to, the following:

Exhibit 9b


Page 11

1. The investment managers will select, buy, and sell specific securities or investments within the parameters specified by Staff and Consultant and in adherence to this Investment Policy or to other policies set forth by the Board.

2. The investment managers will construct and manage investment portfolios that are consistent with the investment philosophy and disciplines for which the Board hired them. Discretion is delegated to the investment managers to carry out these investment actions.

3. Investment managers will provide performance reporting to the Staff at intervals specified by Staff.

4. Investment managers will also, on an annual basis, provide to SURS proof of insurance coverage in an amount and type specified in the investment manager’s investment management agreement.

5. Investment managers will, on an annual basis, certify in writing that they remain a fiduciary to the System and that they have been in compliance with the investment guidelines during the past year.

6. The Investment Manager shall utilize investment strategies designed to ensure that all securities transactions are executed in such a manner that the total explicit and implicit costs and total proceeds in every transaction are the most favorable under the circumstances.

7. The investment manager shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those of the State of Illinois and the United States of America, including without limitation, the provisions of Rule 206(4)5 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Specific operational information for each investment manager will be addressed at length in the individual investment manager guidelines. Master Trustee / Custodian The Master Trustee/Custodian (“Custodian”) is selected by, and serves at the pleasure of, the Board. The Custodian(s) will, among other duties, collect income and safekeep all cash and securities, and will regularly summarize these holdings, along with both their individual and collective performance, for Staff’s review. The Custodian will provide data and performance reports to the Staff and Consultant at intervals specified by the System’s written policy or contract. In addition, a bank or trust depository arrangement will be utilized to accept and hold cash flow prior to allocating it to the investment managers, and to invest such cash in liquid, short-term securities in accordance with investment guidelines. The Board shall determine asset allocation guidelines; in order to maintain these targets, Staff will direct the Custodian to allocate cash and/or securities to the System’s investment managers as necessary. The Custodian may also, at the direction of the Board, engage in a Securities Lending program. Alternatively, the Board may choose to retain a third party firm to provide Securities Lending services to SURS. General Counsel’s Office The role of the General Counsel’s office is to oversee all legal services provided in connection with System matters, to perform draft document review and provide legal advice on issues, as necessary, to protect the interests of the System. The General Counsel’s Office does not review or approve investment decisions. The General Counsel’s Office reviews business terms for proper form and legality. However, General Counsel review does not extend to aspects of business terms that require investment or financial

Exhibit 9b


Page 12

expertise. The following documents and issues will be brought to the attention of the General Counsel’s Office:

1. Any document that the Executive Director is requested to sign. 2. New investment management agreements. 3. Contracts with investment service providers. 4. Letter agreements and side letters with any investment manager or investment

service provider. 5. Amendments to investment management agreements, including revisions to

investment manager guidelines. 6. Amendments to contracts with investment service providers. 7. Amendments to letter agreements and side letters. 8. Any matter that Investment Staff wishes to assign to outside counsel excluding

routine matters for which the CIO or other Investment Staff may directly interact with outside counsel.

9. Correspondence to or from any investment manager or investment service provider concerning actual or potential litigation or legal issue.

10. Any material violation by an investment manager or investment service provider of any terms or obligations in a contract with the System that comes to the attention of Investment Staff.

V. Asset Allocation and Rebalancing Strategy A. Purpose The purpose of the asset allocation policy is to establish an Investment Policy framework for SURS that has a high likelihood, in the judgment of the Board, of realizing SURS’ investment objective. B. Targets and Ranges The principal components of the Investment Policy are target allocation percentages for various areas of investment, known as “asset classes”, and minimum and maximum percentages for each asset class. The table below contains SURS’ current strategic policy target and interim policy target percentages. ASSET ALLOCATION POLICY MIX (as of 7/01/2015)

STRATEGIC POLICY

TARGET1

INTERIM POLICY TARGET

U.S. Equity 23.0% 29.0% Non-U.S. Equity 19.0% 19.0% Global Equity 8.0% 8.0%

Total Public Equity 50.0% 56.0% Core Fixed Income 19.0% 19.0% Emerging Market Debt 3.0% 3.0% Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) 4.0% 4.0%

Total Fixed Income 26.0% 26.0% Private Equity 6.0% 6.0% Real Estate REITS Direct Real Estate

10.0% 4.0% 6.0%

9.0% 4.0% 5.0%

Hedged Strategies 5.0% 0.0%

Opportunity Fund2 1.0% 1.0%

Commodities 2.0% 2.0% Total Alternatives 24.0% 18.0%

Grand Total 100.0% 100.0% The interim policy target may change over time and reflects the necessity of a gradual shift of assets to the strategic policy target due to practical implementation considerations and liquidity constraints. Staff has discretion to gradually adjust the interim policy targets toward the strategic policy targets in coordination with the actual transition of assets. C. Rebalancing The Investment Policy of the State Universities Retirement System (SURS) provides an efficient allocation of assets to achieve overall risk and return objectives. Proper implementation of this guideline requires that a periodic adjustment, or rebalancing, of

1Policy targets approved at June 13, 2014 Board meeting. 2 The Opportunity Fund shall be no more than 5% of SURS total market value.

Exhibit 9b


Page 14

assets be made to ensure conformance with asset allocation targets. Such rebalancing is necessary to reflect sizable cash flows and performance differentials among asset classes and investment managers. Rebalancing shall automatically occur whenever an asset class is three percentage points greater or lesser than the strategic policy target level or when the overall equity and/or fixed income allocation deviates from the aggregate equity and/or fixed income targets by more than five percentage points. Rebalancing may also occur in the event of a change in the strategic policy target mix by the Trustees. Rebalancing, when required, shall occur as soon as practical and may be facilitated by the use of an investment manager providing cash overlay services, provided the Board has formally approved the retention of such a manager. In conducting rebalancing activities, the Board expects the Staff to operate under these guidelines:

1. Whenever asset class allocation percentages fall outside the indicated range for that asset class, the Staff shall initiate rebalancing transactions to bring all percentages to values that do not exceed the range limits.3

2. At any time and in its discretion, the Staff may bring the actual allocation to, or

nearer to, the target percentages.

3. At a minimum, the Staff will ensure that as a result of a rebalancing review, no asset class allocation is outside the allowable range.

4. To the extent that it is possible to bring the actual allocation nearer to the target

percentages without incurring transactions costs, or while incurring transaction costs, which in the judgment of the Staff are unusually low, the Staff shall do so.

5. In the event of extraordinary market events that result in (a) the actual allocation being outside the acceptable ranges and (b) market conditions preventing the implementation of rebalancing activities, Staff may request from the Board temporary exceptions to this policy. Rebalancing activity will occur as soon as is prudently feasible.

The spirit of this policy is to ensure compliance with the target asset allocation percentages at a reasonable cost, recognizing that overly precise administration of policy targets can result in transaction costs that are not economically justified. Recognizing the complexity of achieving this result with a portfolio the size and complexity of SURS, as well as the vagaries of transacting in investment markets, the Board accords the Staff discretion to take those actions, which in the judgment of the Staff are within the spirit of these guidelines and in the best interest of SURS. Staff will report the results of rebalancing activity to the Investment Committee at the next regular Investment Committee meeting.

3 When any one of the public market asset classes hits a trigger point, the entire fund may be rebalanced back to asset class target allocations, with the understanding that it may be impractical to return the real estate and private equity asset classes precisely to target in the short term. Accordingly, qualitative considerations (e.g., transaction costs, liquidity needs, investment time horizons, etc.) will be considered in determining the potential timing and extent of rebalancing real estate and private equity portfolios.

Exhibit 9b


Page 15

D. Periodic Review The Board establishes the asset allocation targets and ranges and reviews them periodically. The target allocation will be reviewed annually for reasonableness relative to significant economic and market changes or to changes in the System’s long-term goals and objectives. Typically, every three to five years the Board will undertake a comprehensive review of the asset allocation policy designed to assess the continuing appropriateness of Investment Policy. This ordinarily involves an asset-liability study that places the development of Investment Policy into the context of future benefit payments, liabilities, required funding and the prospective funded status of liabilities.

Exhibit 9b

VI. Investment Risk Management Policy Note: This policy is one component of the broader SURS risk management function. Risk Oversight The SURS Mission Statement is to secure and deliver the retirement benefits promised to our members. In an attempt to deliver the desired long-term risk-adjusted investment returns with reasonable volatility levels, an assumption of risk tolerance within the investment portfolio is necessary to assist in meeting stated objectives. The risk monitoring and reporting processes are anticipated to serve as a tool in providing prudent oversight of the Investment Program. Risk levels within the portfolio will evolve over time for various reasons, including (but not limited to) changes in asset allocation, investment return assumption revisions, correlation between asset classes, and changes in funding levels, and should be reviewed periodically. Risk Monitoring Risk will be monitored through various forms of analysis and reporting in an attempt to understand risks within the Fund, and to ensure adequate compensation for the level of risk assumed. Analysis will occur at various levels of detail which include individual manager, asset class and total Fund level analysis. In addition to relative performance evaluation, an analysis of diversification, benchmark risk, active risk, total risk, value at risk, and other risk measures will be reported. Analysis will be conducted on an ex-post and ex-ante basis to identify and quantify both forward looking and backward looking risk metrics. Staff will review portfolios, asset classes, and total Fund information on an ongoing basis in order to maintain an understanding of potential risks within the portfolio. Individual manager portfolios or asset classes demonstrating higher than expected levels of risk will be examined in greater detail and any necessary adjustments will be made immediately, or a plan for doing so will be developed. Alternatively, justification for maintaining the exposure will be provided to the Investment Committee. Reporting Reports will be assembled and evaluated on a quarterly basis, and provided to the Chief Investment Officer. Summary reports will be assembled and presented to the SURS Investment Committee and the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis.

VII. Investment Manager Structure The Board has adopted target asset allocations and ranges to control and limit the strategic and tactical risks in the portfolio.. To control the active manager style, sector, index and benchmark risks, a structure and specific benchmarks are established for each asset class. In order to implement these strategies, it is necessary that the Board retain external investment managers. Investment managers will be given specific tactical roles within the overall strategic investment plan. These roles are specifically set forth for each firm as investment manager guidelines, established at the beginning of the relationship with SURS as part of the contract negotiation process. The guidelines provide specific instructions with regard to permissible investments relevant to their role in the SURS portfolio. Staff and Consultant will be responsible for implementation of these strategies, supervision of the investment managers, performance monitoring and reporting. Updates will be provided to the Board (i) as requested by the Board, its Investment Committee or its Chair, and (ii) as deemed necessary by Staff and Consultant. Public Equity Structure

A. Role The public equity portfolio is expected to generate attractive absolute returns in a relatively low cost manner and also expected to generate competitive returns relative to an appropriate performance benchmark. The public equity portfolio may also serve as a source of liquidity.

B. Investment Structure

1. The public equity allocation consists of a highly diversified mix of publicly traded global equities. Common stocks, preferred stocks, or other equity securities are typically utilized.

2. The public equity portfolio is composed of U.S., non-U.S. and global equity segments. o U.S. equities

Investment managers invest primarily in publicly traded equity securities of U.S. companies.

o Non-U.S. equities Investment managers invest primarily in publicly traded equity

securities of non-U.S. companies, in both developed and emerging markets.

o Global Equities Investment managers make the allocation decisions between U.S. and

non-U.S. companies, in both developed and emerging markets. 3. Diversification

o The policy targets for the subcomponents of the portfolio are as follows, although actual allocations may vary as a result of relative market performance:

Exhibit 9b


Page 18

Subcomponent Policy Target U.S. Equity 46% Non-U.S. Equity 38% Global Equity 16% Total Equity 100%

o The portfolio is diversified by manager, sector, style, capitalization, and geography.

o Such diversification serves to enhance returns, control risk, and reduce volatility.

4. Assets may be held in commingled funds or privately managed separate accounts.

5. Leverage is not typically allowed in the public equity portfolio, with assets invested in long-only mandates. Use of leverage will be controlled as appropriate in the investment manager’s investment guidelines.

6. Manager and fund level concentration limits may be considered on an individual manager basis and will reflect such issues as type of mandate, strength and stability of organization, risk characteristics, etc.

7. Implementation of the public equity portfolio is via a combination of active and passive management. Passive management is generally most prevalent in the U.S. equity portfolio, which is highly efficient, particularly in the large cap segment, but is also employed significantly in the non-U.S. equity portfolio. The global equity portfolio is implemented entirely via active management.

Fixed Income Structure

A. Role The fixed income portfolio is expected to provide significant diversification to the Total Fund due to differences in correlation with other asset types. In addition, the fixed income portfolio is expected to provide capital preservation, a source of liquidity, and competitive returns relative to an appropriate benchmark.


1. The fixed income allocation consists of a highly diversified mix of publicly traded fixed income securities, invested across multiple asset types, including Treasury, agency, corporate and mortgage securities, among others.

o Quality standards will be specifically set forth in the investment manager’s guidelines, if applicable. In the event an issue is downgraded below the minimum credit quality after purchase, the investment manager may continue to hold the security if it believes doing so is in the

Exhibit 9b


Page 19

best interest of SURS. The investment manager shall provide written justification of the action to SURS as soon as practicable.

2. The fixed income portfolio is composed of Core, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and Emerging Market Debt (EMD) segments.

o Core Fixed Income – This segment is further broken down as follows: Core managers invest primarily in investment grade fixed income

issues with sector allocations and risk profiles similar to those of the benchmark index.

Core Plus managers are given additional flexibility to add instruments with greater risk and greater potential return, such as high yield, global and emerging market debt, for example, to core investment grade portfolios.

Unconstrained managers are less restricted in their ability to allocate between sectors and are not anchored to a traditional fixed income benchmark.

o TIPS Investment managers invest primarily in inflation-linked fixed

income securities in an effort to provide a hedge against unanticipated inflation.

o EMD Investment managers invest in debt securities of emerging market

countries, in both US dollar and local currency terms, providing additional diversification and opportunities for higher yield.

3. Diversification o The policy targets for the subcomponents of the portfolio are as follows,

although actual allocations may vary as a result of relative market performance:

Subcomponent Policy Target Core Fixed Income 73% TIPS 15% EMD 12% Total Fixed Income 100%

o The portfolio is diversified by manager, sector, and geography. o Such diversification serves to enhance returns, control risk, and reduce

volatility. 4. Assets may be held in commingled funds or privately managed separate

accounts. 5. Leverage is not typically allowed in the fixed income portfolio, with assets

invested in long-only mandates. However, short sales are permitted in certain mandates. Use of leverage will be controlled as appropriate in the investment manager’s investment guidelines.


7. Implementation of the fixed income portfolio is primarily via active management although passive management is utilized to a modest extent in the core segment for liquidity purposes. The TIPS and EMD segments are implemented entirely via active management.

Private Equity Structure

A. Role The private equity portfolio is expected to earn risk-adjusted returns in excess of the public equity markets. The private equity portfolio is also expected to decrease the volatility of the System’s assets through the diversification benefits of having lower correlations with other asset classes.


1. The private equity allocation generally consists of investments into private companies, either directly or through buyouts of public companies that result in a delisting of public equity.

2. The private equity portfolio is composed of three major subcomponents. o Venture Capital/Growth

Venture capital partnerships primarily invest in businesses still in the conceptual stage (start-up or seed) or where products may not be fully developed, and where revenues and/or profits may be several years away.

Growth/later-stage venture capital partnerships typically invest in more mature companies in need of growth or expansion capital.

o Buyout These partnerships provide the equity capital for acquisition

transactions either from a private seller or the public, which may represent the purchase of an entire company, or a refinancing or recapitalization transaction where equity is purchased.

o Other Mezzanine/subordinated debt partnerships provide the

intermediate capital between equity and senior debt in a buyout or refinancing transaction.

Restructuring/distressed debt partnerships typically make new investments in financially or operationally troubled companies, often for a control position, with a view to improving the balance sheet and operations for a subsequent sale.

Special situations partnerships include organizations with a specific industry focus or transaction type not covered by the other subclasses mentioned above, or unique opportunities that fall outside such subclasses.

Exhibit 9b


Page 21

3. Diversification o The private equity portfolio shall be diversified by time, subclass, and

geography. o Such diversification serves to enhance returns, control risk, and reduce

volatility. 4. Within the portfolio, the account structure is typically in funds. SURS

commonly participates through fund of funds structures, which provide further manager diversification and the opportunity for co-investment and secondary fund opportunities.

5. Leverage may be present in private equity investments, most commonly in buyout partnerships. Levels are generally determined on a fund-level basis.


7. Implementation of the private equity portfolio is via active management.

C. Benchmarks Benchmark

Real Estate Structure

A. Role The real estate portfolio is expected to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through stable income and the opportunity for strong appreciation while providing diversification to the overall fund.


1. The real estate allocation consists of highly liquid, publicly traded real estate investment trust securities (REITS) and direct real estate.

2. The direct real estate portfolio is composed of Core and Non-Core segments. o Core Real Estate

Core managers typically invest in properties that are well located and well leased with strong quality tenants. Core investments provide stable income with lower volatility.

o Non-Core Real Estate Non-core managers provide opportunities for higher returns by

investing in assets in need of re-tenanting, re-development, or renovation, or are otherwise in some form of distress.

3. Diversification o The non-core direct real estate portfolio is in the process of being

funded. The policy targets for the subcomponents of the portfolio are as follows, although actual allocations may vary until full funding takes place and as a result of relative market performance:

Exhibit 9b


Page 22

Subcomponent Policy Target

REITS 40% Core Real Estate 36%

Non-Core Real Estate 24% Total Real Estate 100%

o Such diversification serves to enhance returns, control risk, and reduce volatility.

4. The REIT portfolios may be held in commingled funds or privately managed separate accounts. The account structure for direct real estate is typically either open-end or closed-end funds. SURS may also participate through fund of funds structures, which provide further manager diversification and the opportunity for co-investment and secondary fund opportunities.

5. Leverage is an inherent component of real estate investing and levels are generally determined on a fund-level basis.


7. Implementation of the REIT portfolio is via a combination of active and passive management. The direct real estate portfolio is implemented via active management.

A. Role The opportunity fund portfolio is designed to allow flexibility for opportunistic investment in market segments not historically utilized by SURS. Investments in the Opportunity Fund may be a one-time occurrence, such as investments capitalizing on a market dislocation, or successful investments may ultimately be transitioned into the larger SURS portfolio as a permanent allocation.

B. Investment Structure – The structure of the Opportunity Fund is not fixed and may vary considerably over time. The Opportunity Fund shall be no more than 5% of the Total Fund value.

A. Role The commodities portfolio is expected to provide some degree of protection against the risks associated with inflation. In addition, the commodities portfolio is expected to enhance the diversification of the total investment portfolio and provide a source of liquidity to the Fund when other asset class portfolios are experiencing lower returns due to unanticipated inflation.

B. Investment Structure – A 2% policy allocation to commodities has been approved. Commodities exposure is currently being implemented passively via the cash overlay program. A search for active commodities managers and the development of the portfolio structure for the commodities allocation are currently underway.

VIII. Selection and Retention Introduction The Trustees of the State Universities Retirement System (“SURS”) have established the following guidelines for hiring consultants and investment managers. In establishing these guidelines, it is the Board’s intention to assure all interested parties that decisions made in carrying out these actions occur in a full disclosure environment characterized by competitive selection, objective evaluation, and proper documentation. The overriding consideration with respect to all decisions is that they shall be made solely in the best interest of plan participants and beneficiaries.

A. Consultant Selection and Retention A Consultant is any person or entity retained or employed by the SURS Board to make recommendations in developing an investment strategy, assist with finding appropriate investment managers, or monitor SURS investments. A Consultant, as defined in this section, does not include non-investment related professionals or professionals offering services that are not directly related to the investment of assets, such as legal counsel, actuary, proxy voting services, services used to track compliance with legal standards, and investment fund of funds where the Board has no direct contractual relationship with the investment managers or partnerships. The search process for a Consultant shall be a competitive proposal process and shall generally follow the guidelines listed below:

Advertisements for the search process shall be placed in the State newspaper and in one or more industry periodicals at least 14 days before the response to the offer is due.

Uniform documents shall be used for the solicitation, review, and acceptance of investment services and will be posted on the SURS web site. Documents may differ based on the specific search mandate.

All interested respondents shall return their responses to SURS investment staff, which shall open and record them, providing a list of all respondents to the Investment Committee.

Following review and evaluation of the responses from interested firms, the field of candidates is narrowed to a smaller list of the most highly qualified firms.

At this point, representatives from SURS meet with representatives of each firm to obtain an independent assessment of the firm's capabilities.

Following the interview with the selected firm(s), SURS Staff recommends to the Board one or more Consultants for engagement. Generally, the finalists appear before the Board to present their firms’ qualifications.

In accordance with 40 ILCS 5/1-113.21, candidates are required to make certain disclosures regarding the diversity of their staff and vendors of investment, consulting, and professional and artistic services. These disclosures shall be considered, within the bounds of financial and fiduciary prudence, prior to the awarding of a contract,

Exhibit 9b


Page 25

oral or written, for investment services, consulting services, or commitment to a private market fund.

The Board accepts or modifies the recommendation and makes the final decision with respect to the engagement, if satisfied with the firm’s capabilities.

Contracts are then completed with the selected firm(s). SURS shall not enter into a contract with a Consultant that exceeds 5 years in duration. No contract to provide consulting services may be renewed or extended. At the end of the term of a contract, however, the Consultant is eligible to compete for a new contract as provided in this section.

SURS shall post the name(s) of the successful respondent(s) on the SURS web site, along with a disclosure including the total amount applicable to the contract, the total fees paid or to be paid, and a description of the factors that contributed to the selection of the Consultant.

Exceptions to this competitive proposal process are allowed for (i) sole source procurements, (ii) emergency procurements, and (iii) at the discretion of the SURS Board, contracts that are nonrenewable and one year or less in duration, so long as the contract has a value of less than $20,000. All exceptions granted under this section must be published on the SURS web site, shall name the person authorizing the procurement, and shall include a brief explanation of the reason for the exception.

B. Investment Manager Selection Investment managers will be selected pursuant to the search process discussed below to fill investment needs when such needs are identified by the Staff, Consultant, or Board of Trustees. Generally, for each investment manager search, a written recommendation to initiate a search process shall be prepared by Staff, reviewed by the Consultant, and approved by the Board of Trustees prior to its commencement. For searches affiliated with the SURS Manager Diversity Program (MDP), the investment Staff conducts the search process with the Consultant providing an independent evaluation of the program annually. The criteria used to determine the minimum qualifications of firms to be selected for an assignment are shown below:

Selection Criteria

1. Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or otherwise qualified under the Illinois Pension Code.

2. Experience of the firm in the management of institutional portfolios operated under prudent person standards, as well as related investment management experience.

3. Qualifications and/or depth of the professional Staff.

Exhibit 9b


Page 26

4. Soundness of the firm’s investment philosophy and process.

5. The investment record of the firm and/or the firm’s principals in former associations where that record is verifiable.

6. The adequacy of the firm’s trading, back office, accounting and reporting, and client servicing capabilities.

7. Fees.

Using the above criteria established by the Board of Trustees, the top firms are selected using a competitive proposal process based upon the experience and qualifications of the firm’s principals, the soundness of the firm’s investment philosophy and process, as well as the strength of the investment record and organization. For investment managers covered by 40 ILCS 5/113.14(b), the search process for investment manager(s) shall be conducted in a substantially similar manner to that of the Consultant search process, discussed in Section VIII(A), entitled “Consultant Selection and Retention,” except that the Consultant may assist SURS staff in the search process. It is important to note that SURS does not use any criteria that would be considered a barrier to an emerging investment manager such as a minimum number of years in business or a minimum asset level under management. As a part of the selection process, SURS utilizes databases to ensure that qualified emerging investment managers are included in the pool of eligible candidates. If an emerging investment manager meets the criteria established for a specific search, then that emerging investment manager shall receive an invitation by the Board or Investment Committee to present his or her firm for final consideration of a contract. In the case where multiple emerging investment managers meet the criteria of the search, the internal investment staff may choose the most qualified firm(s) to present to the Board or Investment Committee. However, 40 ILCS 5/113 specifically excludes from the search process requirements qualified fund of funds management services4 and investments by SURS in follow on funds to closed-end funds in which SURS has invested. Additional funding can be awarded to existing investment managers with the approval of the Board. In accordance with 40 ILCS 5/1-113.21, candidates are required to make certain disclosures regarding the diversity of their staff and vendors of investment, consulting, and professional and artistic services. The disclosures shall be considered, within the bounds of financial and fiduciary prudence, prior to the awarding of a contract, oral or written, for investment services, consulting services, or commitment to a private market fund. Upon approval by the Board for the hiring of an investment manager, an investment management agreement and other related documents shall be executed prior to funding the account. All investment management agreements will be in compliance with the relevant section(s) of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, and the five year limitation on the duration of a contract does not apply.

4 Per 40 ILCS 5/113.15, “qualified fund-of-fund management services” means either (i) the services of an investment adviser acting in its capacity as an investment manager of a fund-of-funds or (ii) an investment adviser acting in its capacity as an investment manager of a separate account that is invested on a side-by-side basis in a substantially identical manner to a fund-of-funds, in each case pursuant to qualified written agreements.

Exhibit 9b


Page 27

C. Quiet Period Policy Purpose The Quiet Period Policy is intended to establish guidelines by which Board Members and Staff will communicate with prospective service providers during the search process. Policy Objectives The objectives of the policy are to ensure that:

Prospective service providers competing to become employed by SURS have equal access to information regarding the search parameters;

Communications related to the selection are consistent and accurate; and The process of selecting service providers is efficient, diligent, and fair.

Policy Guidelines The following guidelines will be instituted during a search process for a service provider:

A quiet period will commence upon Committee action (or Board action if the selection is not initiated through a Committee) to authorize a search for a service provider and end once a selection has been made by the Board and accepted by the service provider;

Initiation, continuation and conclusion of the quiet period shall be publicly communicated to prevent inadvertent violations;

All Board members, and Staff not directly involved in the search process, shall refrain from communicating with potential service providers regarding any product or service related to the search offered by the provider throughout the quiet period and shall refrain from accepting meals, travel, hotel, or other value from the providers;

Throughout the quiet period, if any Board member is contacted by a potential service provider, the Board member shall refer the provider to the SURS Staff directly involved in the search process;

All authority related to the search process shall be exercised solely by the relevant Committee or Board as a whole, and not by individual Board Members;

All information related to the search process shall be communicated by the SURS Consultant and Staff to the relevant Committee or Board as a whole, and not to individual Board Members;

The quiet period does not prevent Board approved due diligence, client conference attendance or communications with an existing service provider that happens to be a provider in the ordinary course of services provided by such service provider; however, discussions related to the pending selection shall be avoided during those activities;

The provisions of this policy will apply to potential service providers throughout the quiet period and shall be communicated to providers in conjunction with any competitive proposal process; and

A potential service provider may be disqualified from a search process for a violation of this policy.

Exhibit 9b


Page 28

D. Investment Manager and Fund Monitoring

Investment Manager Evaluation An evaluation of each investment manager shall be conducted annually. The evaluation will include input from both the Consultant and Staff and will take into consideration, at a minimum, the firm’s organization and performance relative to an agreed upon benchmark as indicated in the individual investment manager’s guidelines. If the Staff or Consultant have significant concerns about an investment manager, the Staff or Consultant will communicate to the Investment Committee, and the investment manager may be, in extreme cases, recommended for immediate termination. Recommendations for changes in funding for an investment manager, outside the rebalancing process, may be brought to the Board for consideration, if appropriate. Generally, reasons for termination may include: changes in investment style and discipline, changes in the firm (personnel, structure, or organizational form) which may detract from future performance, changes in the total fund’s investment guidelines that eliminate the need for the investment manager, repeated violations of established investment guidelines, or a loss of confidence that the firm will add value or as evidenced by failure to perform historically above their relative benchmark over a period of 3 to 5 years or a complete market cycle. A complete discussion of the termination process is found in Section X (Investment Manager Termination Guidelines). After an investment manager is selected, the Staff and Consultant will regularly monitor the investment manager’s results versus expectations. The System’s Staff and Consultant will conduct periodic due diligence meetings with the outside organizations and will incorporate pertinent information from such meetings into the periodic assessment of each firm. The Staff and Consultant will provide the Investment Committee with reports summarizing the assessments made. In addition, the Staff and Consultant are responsible for reporting to the Investment Committee on any material events regarding an investment manager, along with any recommendation for action to be taken. Fund Evaluation Limited partnership interests in closed end private funds and investments in private markets separate accounts (i.e., private equity, real estate, infrastructure, etc.) will be reviewed by Staff annually. If SURS has significant concerns about a fund or account, a complete legal review of the exit options will be conducted. Recommendations for follow on investments or investments in subsequent funds may be brought to the Board for consideration, if appropriate. Performance Analysis Regarding performance, the primary measurement will be the investment manager's returns (net of fees) versus the relevant and agreed upon benchmark. Failure of an investment manager to generate excess returns in a short period of time does not require that the contract with the firm be terminated. However,

Exhibit 9b


Page 29

the firm's returns must be within an acceptable range. A secondary performance measure is the investment manager's return versus the return of a universe of investment manager returns whose styles are similar. Again, the investment manager's returns must be within an acceptable range. Style Analysis Regarding conformance to style, the quarterly performance measurement will analyze the portfolios of the active U.S. equity investment managers as well as the aggregate U.S. equity portfolio and identify any significant deviations from the individual investment managers' style benchmarks and the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index in the case of the aggregate. Significant deviations may lead to the adjustments in asset allocations or to the replacement of an investment manager whose portfolio deviates significantly from the benchmark. Investment Manager Transitions In the event of the need to transfer the management of the assets from one investment firm to another, Staff will effect the change in as efficient and prudent a manner as possible. The use of transition manager(s), which could include the use of a cash overlay manager, is permitted when deemed in the best interests of the System. Transition plans may include, but are not limited to, the following: a transfer of securities to an appropriate index fund, crossing securities with other institutional investors, or a transfer of securities to another approved investment manager. Contingent and Placement Fees Contingent and placement fees are prohibited per statute.

Exhibit 9b

IX. Investment Manager Termination Guidelines Introduction From time to time it will be necessary for the System to terminate a contractual relationship with an investment manager and these actions must be viewed in the context of a fiduciary decision. Due to the sensitivity of this issue, the Board has established the following guidelines to assist in making these termination decisions. In establishing these guidelines, it is the Board’s intention to assure all interested parties that decisions made in carrying out these actions occur in a full disclosure environment characterized by objective evaluation and proper documentation. The overriding consideration with respect to all decisions is that they shall be made solely in the best interest of plan participants and beneficiaries and consistent with other legal requirements. Clearly Defined Objectives Any action to terminate an investment manager should be based on one or more of the following primary criteria: significant changes in firm ownership and/or structure, loss of one or more key personnel and/or insufficient staffing, significant loss of clients and/or assets under management for the firm or specific

strategy in which SURS is invested, failure to grow assets in the strategy, shifts in the firm’s philosophy or process, significant and persistent lack of responsiveness to client requests, changes in SURS’ investment strategy eliminating the need for a particular style or

strategy, chronic violations of SURS’ Investment Policy or Parameters, unsatisfactory investment performance, identification of a new asset class or approach which has been approved in advance by

the Board, a need for diversification of styles within an existing asset class, or failure to satisfy legal requirements. Prior to the termination decision, the primary and other relevant considerations shall be identified and described. An evaluation covering the quantitative and qualitative issues to be considered will be developed for each case and the relative importance of each evaluation area will be determined. Documentation regarding any such action should include, but is not limited to, the following items: a full description of the reason for the action, including the specific elements serving as

the basis for the evaluation and identification of the relevant issues from the System’s perspective,

the assumptions made in the evaluation, if any, and the results considered and/or qualitative issues upon which the action was based.

Exhibit 9b


Page 31

Consideration will also be given to the risks, costs, and expected benefits if appropriate to the subject matter. Proper Documentation and Full Disclosure When reviewing the documentation regarding the termination of an external investment service provider, the primary focus of the Investment Committee shall be on ensuring that the Board will be able to satisfy any interested party that decisions were well reasoned, thoroughly considered, and prudent. Toward this end, the Chair and Committee members will review the written supporting documentation to ensure disclosure of all relevant issues. In evaluating a termination decision, Staff, Consultant and the Committee should review documentation to ensure that the evaluation process was fair and consistently applied. Candidates for termination may, at the pleasure of the Committee or upon the recommendation of Staff and Consultant, be asked to make a formal presentation to the Staff and/or Committee prior to a termination decision, but any such meeting shall not be permitted to delay any action the Board deems appropriate.

X. Performance Measurement and Reporting Performance Measurement Marketable Equity, Fixed Income and Real Estate Portfolios Time weighted returns, on a net-of-fees basis, will be calculated monthly by the Custodian to measure the performance of the fund and investment managers in comparison with the fund objectives, appropriate peer groups of investment managers, and performance benchmarks. The results of the total fund, individual asset classes and investment managers are reported to the Board members on a monthly basis. Private Markets Portfolios For private equity, direct real estate, and infrastructure portfolios, internal rates of return will be calculated quarterly by the Custodian. These returns will be used to measure performance of the portfolios in comparison with the objectives of the fund and appropriate peer groups. Returns are reported quarterly in arrears. Performance Reporting Monthly, the total fund return shall be compared with the market goal and public fund universe for the current month; quarter; fiscal year; and rolling 1, 3, 5 and 10-year periods. The Market Goal is a passive representation of the specific asset allocation strategy pursued (as defined by the interim policy target) and is the most objective performance evaluation metric to evaluate the performance of the SURS Total Fund. The return of the Market Goal is a weighted average calculation, multiplying each asset class’ interim policy target weighting times the return of the asset class benchmark, as defined in Section VII (Investment Manager Structure). Each individual asset class and investment manager shall have their returns compared to relevant benchmark returns for the current month; quarter; fiscal year; and rolling 1, 3, 5 and 10-year periods. Quarterly, a detailed performance report will be prepared by the Consultant retained by the Board. The report will include information on the total fund, individual asset classes and investment managers. The report will be distributed to the Board of Trustees. Annually, SURS Investment Staff in conjunction with the Consultant will prepare and present a comprehensive review of the fiscal year results at the September Investment Committee Meeting.

Exhibit 9b


Page 33

Market Values All investment values shall be revised not less frequently than quarterly to reflect the values at which they could be sold. The fact that they may not be up for sale currently does not affect the continuing need for market value revisions. A description follows of the process for accomplishing this for each category of investments. Marketable Securities (Publicly traded) These constitute stocks, bonds, warrants, futures, options, etc. traded on the public exchanges. The SURS custodial bank, which has access to prices for these securities, establishes their market value. Non-Marketable Traded Securities (Private Markets, Infrastructure and Real Estate) The investment manager has the responsibility for estimating and publishing the market value of these investments. The valuation and appraisal methods used should be consistent with current CFA Institute and industry standards.

Exhibit 9b


Page 34

XI. Safeguard of Assets Qualification of Service Providers

Any firm which SURS retains to manage, control or have custody of assets shall be qualified by thorough due diligence. Appropriate agreements with the firms and trust agreements shall minimize any risk of loss of assets or income.

Asset Limits

There are cost and service advantages in firms managing or having custody of large pools of assets so that in the absence of any statutory provision(s) to the contrary, there shall be no specific limit on the size of assets controlled or held in custody by any one firm within the asset allocation guidelines. However, limits may be considered on an individual manager basis and will reflect such issues as type of mandate, strength and stability of organization, risk characteristics, etc.

Monitoring of Service Providers

There shall be continuous monitoring of firms which manage or have custody of assets to assure the firms continue to be stable and financially secure. Instability of any firm or financial weakness shall be reason to transfer custody and/or management of assets from the firm.

Authorization to Transfer Funds

Transfer of funds between accounts must be evidenced in writing or conducted electronically by an authorized Staff Member and be in compliance with the Custodial bank’s procedures. The following positions have been designated by the Board to have the authority to give direction to the Custodian on any and all actions with respect to the Master Trustee relationship between the Board and the Custodian: Executive Director, Chief Investment Officer, and Deputy Chief Investment Officer. The Senior Investment Officers have been designated by the Board to have the limited authority to only approve payments initiated through the Trade Order Entry system related to initial or subsequent investments in limited partnerships, real estate, infrastructure, or other investments approved by the Board.

Insurance Requirements

All investment managers shall be required to secure and maintain throughout the term of the investment management relationship with SURS insurance that satisfies the requirements set forth below and that is provided by insurer(s) rated A- or better by A.M. Best & Company. Specific insurance requirements are set forth in each manager’s Investment Management Agreement. Each investment manager shall be required to provide to the Board: (i) evidence of the requisite insurance policies upon initiation of the contract, (ii) an annual certification that the insurance requirements continue to be satisfied, and (iii) evidence of continued satisfaction of

Exhibit 9b


Page 35

the insurance requirements upon request. With the exception of the Manager Diversity Program, the minimum insurance required for each investment manager shall include: (i) a bond protecting SURS assets that meets the requirements of and that is in the amount specified under ERISA and the regulations thereunder; and (ii) errors and omissions coverage in an amount equal to the greater of: a) $5 million or, b) 5% of the SURS assets under management, up to a maximum as established in the investment management agreement, but not to exceed $50 million. For investment managers in the Manager Diversity Program, the minimum insurance required for each investment manager shall include: (i) a bond protecting SURS assets that meets the requirements of and that is in the amount specified under ERISA and the regulations thereunder; and (ii) errors and omissions coverage in an amount not less than $1 million of coverage. The insurance shall protect SURS against losses from the negligent acts, errors or omissions of the investment manager.

Custodial Credit Risk

Pursuant to the 40 ILCS 5/15-166, the Board of Trustees has statutory authority to be the custodian of all cash and securities belonging to the System created under Article 15 of the Pension Code. Pursuant to 40 ILCS 5/15-167, the Board may deposit SURS trust funds with one or more banks, savings and loan associations, or trust companies. This policy addresses how SURS will handle custodial credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counter-party to an investment transaction will not fulfill its obligations. Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a financial institution or counter-party to a transaction, SURS would not be able to recover the value of deposits or investments in the possession of an outside party. To minimize this risk, SURS takes the following measures:

1. Performs due diligence for custody financial institutions and advisors with which SURS will do business and appropriately documents business relationships with these service providers.

2. Provides investment parameters for the investment vehicles detailed in the specific investment management agreements.

3. Monitors the financial condition of the custodian. If there is cause for concern, the Board of Trustees will determine appropriate action.

4. Endeavors to have all investments held in custodial accounts through an agent, in the name of custodian’s nominee5, or in a corporate depository or federal book-entry system. For those deposits or investment assets held outside of the custodian, SURS will follow applicable regulatory rules.

5. Requires the custodian to meet the following requirements: The custodian or its subcustodians will provide safekeeping of all SURS

securities in segregated accounts that reflect the holdings of SURS; the custodian will not commingle SURS securities with the custodian’s own securities.

Monthly reports will be provided/made available by the custodian. 5 Registered owner of a stock or bond if different from the beneficial owner, who acts as holder of record for securities and other assets. Nominee ownership simplifies the registration and transfer of securities.

XII. General Investment Restrictions and/or Guidelines

Investment Authorization No investment or action pursuant to an investment may be taken unless permitted by this Policy or the investment manager’s guidelines. Exceptions may be made subject to prior review by and express written authorization from the Investment Staff and Consultant. In the event that any material exception is discovered which has not been specifically authorized, the Staff will immediately provide to the Board a detailed explanation of the exception and action being taken to remedy the situation.

Mini-Tenders This guideline applies to all investment managers of SURS. It should be considered as an integral part of the investment guidelines applicable to the investment manager. This guideline applies to tender offers that are exempt from registration requirements imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (such tender offers are generally known as “mini-tenders”; currently where the total amount of the tender offer is limited to five percent (5%) or less of the outstanding shares of the issuer). Investment managers may tender shares owned by SURS only upon the following terms and conditions:

1. Either the securities involved in the tender are publicly traded, and the issuer of the shares and the entity making the tender offer are the same, OR

2. The investment manager provides three (3) days’ advance written notice to

SURS that it is going to tender shares pursuant to a mini-tender offer.6

3. Each notice must be in writing and must include the following information:

a. The identity of the offeror and what due diligence has been performed by the investment manager to satisfy itself as to the creditworthiness of the offeror.

6The sole purpose of the notice requirement is for the investment manager to confirm that it has conducted due diligence adequate to protect the SURS assets involved in the mini-tender, and SURS does not assume responsibility for such due diligence or for the investment decision. The investment manager shall retain full fiduciary responsibility for the investment decision, including a determination that a decision to tender SURS’ securities under the terms and circumstances involved in the mini-tender is prudent, is protective of SURS’ assets, and is otherwise in accordance with the investment manager’s fiduciary duties to SURS, which determinations may involve due diligence and consideration of factors beyond those outlined in this section 3, in the investment manager’s sole discretion.

Exhibit 9b


Page 37

b. The identity of the transfer or receiving agent, whether or not the transfer or receiving agent is affiliated with the offeror, and what due diligence has been performed by the investment manager to satisfy itself as to the creditworthiness of the transfer agent.

c. The expiration date of the offer, the deadline for settlement of the

tender, and whether the terms of the tender offer permit the offeree to revoke the tender if payment is not received by the settlement deadline.

d. Whether securities tendered on behalf of SURS will be maintained in

trust or escrow pending receipt of payment for the securities, or the other protections that will be in place to ensure the safekeeping of SURS’ securities pending receipt of payment.

XIII. Corporate Governance

A. Proxy Voting Guidelines

1) Domestic Shares

A proxy voting service, pursuant to a contract with SURS, will vote the proxies of domestic shares according to the proxy voting service’s proxy voting guidelines, as customized for SURS and approved by the SURS Board. All proxy votes not specifically addressed by the proxy voting service’s approved proxy voting guidelines will be voted consistently with the Council of Institutional Investors’ Corporate Governance Policy. Proxy votes not addressed by either of the above standards will be voted for the exclusive benefit of System participants and beneficiaries, generally in favor of enhancing shareholders’ long-term value. The proxy voting service shall provide to SURS regular reports of proxy voting activity, pursuant to the terms of a contract with SURS.

2) Non-Domestic Shares

Investment managers shall vote the proxies of non-domestic shares under their discretion and report the results of those votes not less than annually. Proxies shall be voted for the exclusive benefit of System participants and beneficiaries. In general, proxies should be voted in favor of enhancing shareholders’ long-term value. As a general rule, votes that fall within the context of Routine and Non-Routine Matters should be made in accordance with the following guidelines:

Routine Matters: Routine proxy proposals may be voted in support of company proposals unless doing so would be contrary to the interests of the shareholders. Routine matters include the following, unless a proxy contest is being waged with respect to such matter, in which case it becomes Non-Routine: o Election of directors; o Selection of auditors; o Corporate name change; o Amendment of Articles of Incorporation that are required to

comply with federal or state regulation; and o Change in the date, time or location of annual meeting.

Non-Routine Matters: Non-Routine proposals should be

carefully analyzed and considered on a case-by-case basis. Non-Routine proposals that do not eliminate the rights of shareholders, unreasonably dilute or impair the status of securities held, or impair ownership status of the securities may be voted with management. Non-Routine proposals that would or might impair

Exhibit 9b


Page 39

the economic interests of shareholders should be voted against management.

Reporting: Investment managers shall report the results of their

votes at least annually. The report shall contain at a minimum the name of the corporation, a brief description of the proposal, the vote cast, and whether the vote cast was with or against management.

B. Securities Litigation Policy

1) Identification Of Potential Claims

a) In order to weigh the costs and benefits of the various alternatives as specified below, SURS Staff will identify potential claims by determining if it bought or sold the securities of a company during applicable periods.

b) SURS Staff will regularly match the SURS portfolios against reports of

securities litigation cases obtained from Consultants, law firms engaged for securities litigation, and from other sources deemed reliable by Staff.

c) If SURS did not buy or sell securities of a company during the applicable

period, the inquiry will end. If SURS had purchases or sales during the period, evaluation of the potential claim will proceed as specified below.

2) Evaluation Of Potential Claims

a) If SURS bought or sold securities during an applicable period, evaluation of the alternatives available will begin with an initial assessment of the size of the potential claim.

b) When potential losses are deemed insignificant, further action will

ordinarily be limited to monitoring as specified in Part 3 below to ensure that class member claims are filed if and when there is a right to do so, unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant further consideration by Staff and the Board.

c) When potential losses are deemed significant, the alternative courses of

action available shall be identified by the Staff. Alternatives will likely include several different courses of action, such as:

i) Monitoring the course of a class action suit and filing a claim at the

end to participate in a class payment. ii) After consultation with the Illinois Attorney General’s office,

monitoring the course of a class action suit, but objecting to a proposed settlement if there are reasons to object.

iii) After consultation with the Illinois Attorney General’s office, seeking to control a class action by seeking designation as lead plaintiff, either singly or with others.

Exhibit 9b


Page 40

iv) After consultation with the Illinois Attorney General’s office, opting out of a class action suit and filing a separate suit, either singly or with others.

d) The relative merits of each alternative will be weighed and considered by

Staff, as well as by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.

e) Staff and the Illinois Attorney General’s office will make a recommendation to the Executive Committee of any course of action beyond participating in the litigation as a passive member of the class. The Executive Committee will have the authority to approve any course of action beyond monitoring the case. If the Executive Committee approves active participation in the litigation, additional authorization is not necessary to align with other potential plaintiffs in application for named plaintiff status if such an action is agreed appropriate by the SURS General Counsel and the SURS Executive Director. In such instances, the Attorney General will be asked to represent SURS in such action.

3) Monitoring

a) The Staff will utilize the services of the system’s custodian, as well as the services of any consultants, including Securities Litigation counsel, with expertise in this area chosen by Staff, to monitor pending cases which involve securities that SURS bought and sold during the relevant periods to evaluate any settlements proposed and to file claims as necessary for SURS to participate in distributions of funds. To the extent that Staff finds a proposed settlement inadequate to protect the interests of the System, the Executive Committee may authorize action to file legal objections. Authorization is not necessary for staff to file an objection to attorneys’ fees or expenses if an objection is agreed appropriate by the SURS General Counsel and the SURS Executive Director after consultation with the Illinois Attorney General.

4) Legal Action

a) Where the Executive Committee has determined under Part 2 that the interests of the System will be best served by seeking designation as lead plaintiff or by opting out of a class action, the Illinois Attorney General, acting as legal counsel to the System, will choose appropriate counsel and will negotiate a fee agreement, if necessary. If the Executive Committee determines that appropriate counsel is a firm not on the approved list, the recommendation of such firm shall be made to, and approved by, the Executive Committee.

b) Where the Executive Committee and the Attorney General disagree as to

the desirability of seeking designation as lead plaintiff or opting out of a class action, the Executive Committee shall act in accordance with its fiduciary obligations in making a final determination.

c) Any legal action authorized or taken shall be reported to the Board of

Trustees, who shall also be provided periodic updates on the status of such actions.

Exhibit 9b


Page 41

5) Approved Law Firms

a) SURS Staff will interview and select, through a competitive proposal process, a roster of no more than three qualified securities litigation firms. This roster will constitute SURS’ “approved list.”

b) In cases where the initiation of litigation is a formality designed to

provide support for another institutional investor, SURS Staff may recommend that the most sensible and cost-effective source of legal representation will be the SURS General Counsel or the legal counsel representing the institutional investor that SURS wishes to support.

XIV. Emerging Investment Managers and Broker/Dealers The State Universities Retirement System of Illinois (SURS) is committed to providing opportunities for emerging investment managers and broker/dealers. SURS has taken and is continuing to take important and appropriate actions to provide increased opportunities for emerging investment managers, as well as minority-, female-, and persons with a disability-owned (MFDB) investment managers that have advanced beyond the statutory definition of emerging investment managers.7 This program has been and will continue to be important to the SURS Board of Trustees and has received the highest priority. In determining the status of a business enterprise, SURS will use the definitions found in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act, 30 ILCS 575/2(A), (B). The Illinois Pension Code, in 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1, encourages the trustees of the System to use emerging investment managers in managing the System's assets to the greatest extent feasible within the bounds of financial and fiduciary prudence, and to take affirmative steps to remove any barriers to the full participation of emerging investment managers in investment opportunities afforded by the System. Furthermore, in accordance with the Illinois Pension Code, SURS encourages its investment managers to use emerging investment managers as subcontractors when the opportunity arises.

A. Goals for Utilization of Minority-, Female-, and Persons with a Disability-Owned (MFDB) Investment Management Firms

Beginning January 1, 2016, The Illinois Pension Code, in 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1, establishes an aspirational goal for a retirement system, pension fund, or investment board to use emerging investment managers for not less than 20% of the total funds under management. Furthermore, it shall be the aspirational goal that not less than 20% of investment advisors be minorities, females, and persons with disabilities as those terms are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act. It is important to note that since late 2014, it has been the goal of the Board that, subject to its fiduciary responsibility, 20% of total assets be managed by emerging investment managers and MFDB investment managers. Further, an additional goal, subject to fiduciary responsibility, is that 25% of total actively managed investment assets be managed by emerging investment managers and MFDB investment managers. This goal shall be reviewed annually. SURS strives, on an ongoing basis, to improve and increase its relationships with and use of MFDB managers and broker/dealers.

7 The phrase "emerging investment manager" is used throughout the text of this document. 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1(4) defines “emerging investment manager” to mean "a qualified investment adviser that manages an investment portfolio of at least $10,000,000 but less than $10,000,000,000 and is a ‘minority owned business’, ‘female owned business’ or ‘business owned by a person with a disability’ as those terms are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act.”

Exhibit 9b


Page 43

It is also the goal of the Board that, subject to its fiduciary responsibility, the use of MFDB investment managers be significant in each of the broad asset classes in which SURS is invested and not concentrated in any particular asset class. In accordance with 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1, SURS has established the following goals for the management of assets in specific asset classes by emerging investment managers.8 The table that follows identifies utilization goals for actively managed assets in each of the major asset classes. While these objectives may not be immediately achieved, the desire is to show meaningful progress toward these goals over time. These goals shall be reviewed annually.

B. Minority-Owned Broker/Dealer Usage Policy The Board of Trustees of the State Universities Retirement System has an established policy that seeks increased participation of investment management firms owned by minorities, females, and persons with a disability. As part of this policy, the Board also adopts minimum expectations for the use of minority-owned broker/dealers9 by the System’s investment managers. Only trades executed directly with minority-owned broker/dealers will be considered in the achievement of these goals. Summary goals for the utilization of minority-owned broker/dealers have been established for the aggregate U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity and fixed income asset classes as shown in the table below. SURS seeks to consistently exceed these high level goals while achieving best execution.

8 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1 requires the establishment of “3 separate goals for (i) emerging investment managers that are minority owned businesses; (ii) emerging investment managers that are female owned businesses; and (iii) emerging investment managers that are businesses owned by a person with a disability.” Beginning January 1, 2016, per 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1(10), it shall be the aspirational goal for SURS to use emerging investment managers for not less than 20% of the total funds under management, and that not less than 20% of investment advisors be minorities, females, and persons with disabilities as those terms are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Femals, and Persons with Disabilities Act. 9 For purposes of this section and in accordance with 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1, “minority-owned broker dealer” means “a qualified broker-dealer who meets the definition of ‘minority owned business’, ‘female owned business’, or ‘business owned by a person with a disability’, as those terms are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act.”

In order to achieve the goals at the asset class level, minimum expectations have been established for individual investment managers. These levels are based on the asset class in which the investment manager invests. SURS encourages its investment managers to strive to exceed the minimum expectations shown in the table that follows.

Reporting Guidelines Each investment manager will submit a compliance report within 30 days after March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Reporting will be monitored over a rolling twelve-month period. Consequences of Non-Compliance SURS continuously monitors investment managers’ compliance with this policy and has established a series of consequences for those investment managers who continually fail to meet expectations. The investment managers are expected to achieve the desired levels over rolling twelve-month periods. The following steps

11 The minimum expectation for global equity investment managers increases from 17.5% to 20.0%, effective January 1, 2015.

Exhibit 9b


Page 46

will occur if the investment manager continues to fall short of expectations:

1) A follow-up letter will be distributed to the investment manager not achieving the minimum level of minority-owned broker/dealer usage. The investment manager will be reminded of the usage expected by SURS. Currently, as stated in the Annual Report to the Governor and General Assembly on the Use of Emerging Investment Managers, prepared as required in Public Act 87-1265, a letter is distributed to all of the investment managers on an annual basis listing the level of expectations.

2) Not achieving the desired level of minority-owned broker/dealer usage will

be noted in the annual investment manager review presented to the SURS Board of Trustees. This could impact the evaluation of the firm.

3) SURS Staff will conduct a meeting with the investment manager to discuss

the reasons for not achieving the desired level of trading.

4) Investment managers not achieving the expected levels of broker/dealer usage may be subject to a moratorium on additional funding.

5) If an investment manager fails to comply with the request, they may be

invited to appear before the SURS Board of Trustees to explain why they are unable to achieve the desired level of trading.

C. Manager Diversity Program

Objectives and Goals The State Universities Retirement System (SURS) has implemented the Manager Diversity Program (MDP), formerly known as the Manager Development Program, in its proactive efforts to assist in the development of emerging investment management firms. The Manager Diversity Program is a manager of managers program that is overseen by SURS Staff. The primary goal of the MDP is identifying highly successful minority-, female-, and persons with a disability-owned (MFDB) investment managers that can then be awarded meaningful allocations in the actively managed portfolio. The performance objective of the MDP is to seek annualized investment returns, net of investment management fees, in excess of the market goal for 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. While individual investment managers may underperform in any given year, the diversification within the program should limit the underperformance at the program level. Benchmarks The Manager Diversity Program consists of five broad components, each of which is measured by a relevant benchmark. The table below identifies the benchmark for each program component. Individual investment manager benchmarks are identified in the investment guidelines for each investment manager.

Search and Selection Process For searches affiliated with the SURS Manager Diversity Program (MDP), the Investment Staff conducts the search process with the Consultant providing an independent evaluation of the program annually. The criteria used to determine the minimum qualifications of firms to be selected for an assignment are the same as the criteria generally applicable to investment manager selection, discussed in Section VIII(B), entitled “Investment Manager Selection.”

Using the criteria established by the Board of Trustees, the top firms are selected using a competitive proposal process based upon the experience and qualifications of the firm’s principals, the soundness of the firm’s investment philosophy and process, as well as the strength of the investment record and organization. The search process for investment manager(s) shall be conducted in a substantially similar manner to that of the Consultant search process, discussed in Section VIII(A), entitled “Consultant Selection and Retention,” except that the Consultant may assist SURS staff in the search process. It is important to note that SURS does not use any criteria that would be considered a barrier to an emerging investment manager such as a minimum number of years in business or a minimum asset level under management. As a part of the selection process, SURS utilizes databases to ensure that qualified emerging investment managers are included in the pool of eligible candidates. Investment Manager Evaluation Investment managers in the MDP will be evaluated in the same manner as that set forth in Section VIII (Selection and Retention). Termination decisions will follow the guidelines set forth in Section X (Investment Manager Termination Guidelines). An evaluation of each investment manager shall be conducted annually. Authority to Hire/Retain/Terminate Investment Managers The MDP is a manager of managers program overseen by SURS staff. As such, SURS Staff has the responsibility to identify, recruit, and monitor MDP investment managers. SURS Staff will make recommendations on the selection, retention and termination of MDP investment managers, but the Board (acting through its Investment Committee) reserves the ultimate authority with respect to all investment

Exhibit 9b


Page 48

manager hiring, retention and termination decisions. The SURS Staff has the responsibility to implement the Board decisions through negotiation, execution and enforcement of the investment management agreement and guidelines. All investment management agreements and amendments thereto must be executed by the Executive Director. In the event that termination of an investment manager is warranted under the Investment Manager Termination Guidelines, and prompt termination of the investment manager is necessary to protect and preserve System assets, SURS Staff may, with the prior approval of the Executive Director, terminate the investment manager prior to Board action. The Board shall be promptly notified of the decision to terminate the investment manager, and the decision shall be presented to the Investment Committee for ratification at its next meeting.

Retention and termination decisions will be fully documented and will include a full description of the reason for the action, including the specific elements serving as the basis for the evaluation and identification of the relevant issues from the System’s perspective. SURS Staff has the authority to rebalance between MDP investment managers in order to maintain target allocations and style neutrality in each component of the MDP. Staff will report the results of rebalancing activity to the Investment Committee at the next regular Investment Committee meeting. AdvancementGrowth Opportunities The following factors are considered in determining when an investment manager should be advanced into the largerconsidered for a larger allocation in the SURS portfolio: Stability in Organization Growth in Assets under Management Confidence in Investment Process Strong Investment Performance Product Fit In addition to the factors mentioned above, the needs of the overall SURS investment program will be considered.

enhance the SMP program. Employees of the System shall be indemnified and held harmless by the System for actions within the scope of their employment, pursuant to 40 ILCS 5/1-107 and 108. This indemnification extends to former employees for actions within the scope of their employment at the time of employment. In fulfilling these investment responsibilities, the Executive Director relies heavily on the internal investment staff and Consultant(s). SMP Manager The SMP Manager reports directly to the Director of Outreach who in turn reports to the Chief Operating Officer. Responsibilities delegated to the SMP Manager include, but are not limited to, the following SMP topics: oversight of the SMP, recommending revisions to provider agreements, and completing administrative duties related to the SMP.

Internal Investment Staff The internal investment staff reports directly to the Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”) who in turn reports to the Executive Director. The internal investment staff provides internal investment management and/or consulting services to the Board and Executive Director. In the course of the

Exhibit 9c


5

CIO’s normal functions, the CIO will work directly with the Board, Investment Committee and its Chair(s). The frequency and content of reports to the Board are based on the requirements of the SMP Investment Policy Statement as well as the directives from the Board and/or its Investment Committee. The primary functions delegated by the Board to internal investment staff may include, but are not limited to: implementing the decisions of the Board regarding hiring and termination of providers

and investment options, oversight of the SMP investment program, including conducting due diligence and

providing recommendations in the selection and termination ofsearch, selection and monitoring of providers and investment options,

providing technical advice in the selection and monitoring of the providers and investment options,

recommending revisions to provider agreements with concurrence from the General Counsel required,

reviewing and drafting recommendations to the SMP Investment Policy annually, monitoring compliance with Board-approved policies for all providers and investment

options, preparing performance and asset allocation reports, responding to inquiries from various parties concerning the SMP investment options in

accordance with SURS communication policies, completing other administrative duties related to the SMP investment program, and serving as a liaison to the investment community.

The SURS Staff has the responsibility to implement the Board decisions through negotiation, execution and enforcement of the provider agreement. All provider agreements and amendments thereto must be executed by the Executive Director. The internal investment staff also works closely with the external investment consultant(s). Recommendations to the Investment Committee will generally be developed jointly by the Staff and Consultant(s) with advice to the Chair. Once an item is identified as a potential agenda item, Staff and Consultant begin working together on the issue. If one group has more expertise in the particular area than the other, that party may take the lead in facilitating work outputs. In most if not all cases, however, any analysis or recommendation that is made to the Committee will be developed jointly and agreed to or approved by both parties. However, where views diverge, the Committee will ensure that each party’s perspective is adequately presented. External Investment Consultant(s) The Board shall generally have under contract an investment advisor who is a paid, professional consultant (“Consultant”) and who is qualified to provide the Board with investment advice by academic and professional training and experience and is considered an expert in the field of investment and finance. The Consultant’s relationship with the Board shall be that of a fiduciary under 40 ILCS 5/1-101.2.

Exhibit 9c


6

The Consultant is hired by and reports directly to the Board of Trustees. The Consultant’s duty is to work with the Board, Investment Committee and its Chair(s), and Staff in the management of the SMP investment process. This includes regular meetings with the Board to provide an independent perspective on the SMP’s goals, structure, performance and providers. In the course of the Consultant’s normal functions, the Consultant will work directly with the Staff to review performance and make recommendations to the Board as appropriate. The Consultant will assist Staff and the Committee with provider and investment option selection and discuss the impact of material changes taking place within any current provider’s organization or investment process. The Consultant may also provide fiduciary education to inform the Board and Staff regarding significant trends in the defined contribution industry. Provider The provider responsibilities include, but are not limited to: maintaining and updating individual account balances as well as information regarding

plan contributions, withdrawals and distributions, safekeeping of securities, settlement of trades, collection of income, reporting of investment results on a regular basis, administrative reporting, providing information to participants regarding SMP investment options offered by the

provider, and immediately communicating any material changes in the process, philosophy, or

management of the underlying investment options. Lead Administrator A provider hired as lead administrator is responsible for interfacing with SURS and other SMP provider(s) to facilitate administrative functions, in addition to fulfilling responsibilities as a provider. Participants Participants are responsible for the allocation of their assets among the investment options of the SMP and for the voting of proxies for mutual fund shares in which the participants are invested. Participants and beneficiaries alone bear the risks and reap the rewards of investment results from the options and asset allocations that they select. General Counsel’s Office The role of the General Counsel’s Office is to oversee all legal services provided in connection with SMP matters, to perform draft document review and provide legal advice on SMP issues, as necessary. The General Counsel’s Office does not review or approve investment decisions. The General Counsel’s Office reviews business terms for proper form and legality. However, General Counsel review does not extend to aspects of business terms that require investment or financial expertise. The following SMP documents and issues will be brought to the attention of the General Counsel’s Office:

Exhibit 9c


7

Any document that the Executive Director is requested to sign, New provider agreements, Amendments to provider agreements, Any matter that Investment Staff wishes to assign to outside counsel excluding routine

matters for which the CIO may directly interact with outside counsel, Correspondence to or from any provider concerning actual or potential litigation or legal

issue, and Any material violation by a provider of any terms or obligations in a contract with the

System that comes to the attention of Investment Staff. External Counsel External counsel may be retained to provide legal services in connection with the review and negotiation of agreements, where specialized experience is required or where General Counsel resources are unavailable. IV. Investment Objectives The objective of the Board of Trustees is to offer a sufficient range of investment options to allow participants to diversify their assets in the SMP and construct portfolios that reasonably span the risk/return spectrum. The SMP investment options will be selected to:

Maximize return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk, Provide returns comparable to those of similar investment options, Provide exposure to a diversified range of investment opportunities in

various asset classes, Provide cost-efficient investment options, and Control administrative and management costs.

V. Investment Option and Provider Selection The SMP investment options will allow participants to construct portfolios consistent with their unique individual circumstances, goals, time horizons and tolerance for risk. In that regard, the SMP program shall offer investment options in each of the following categories:

Fixed Rate (stable value) Bonds (fixed income) Lifecycle U.S. Equities International Equities Global Equities Real Estate

Within these categories, the types of options may include active or passive investment options, low- to high-risk options and specialized styles of investment management.

Exhibit 9c


8

The particular investment option under consideration should meet the following standards for selection:

Performance should be equal to or greater than the median return for an appropriate, style-specific benchmark and peer group over a specified time period,

It should demonstrate adherence to the stated investment objective, and Fees should be competitive compared to similar investments.

A provider will be selected to offer investment options identified by the Staff, Consultant, or Board of Trustees to fulfill the investment objectives of the SMP. It is the Board’s intention to assure all interested parties that decisions made in carrying out these actions occur in a full disclosure environment characterized by competitive selection, objective evaluation, and proper documentation. The overriding consideration with respect to all decisions is that they shall be made solely in the best interest of SMP participants and beneficiaries. SURS prohibits any form of payment from any provider or provider of investment products in consideration of its inclusion in the SMP. Additionally, the Board of Trustees shall engage at least two, but no more than seven, providers to offer the investment options previously noted. These providers will be retained after satisfactory review consisting of factors such as experience, investment expertise, investment record, and cost. Each provider must meet the following minimum criteria:

It should be a bank, insurance company or investment management company or an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

It should be operating in good standing with regulators and clients; It should provide detailed additional information on the history of the firm,

its investment philosophy and approach, and its principals, clients, locations, fee schedules and other relevant information; and

It should provide all performance, holdings, and other relevant information in a timely fashion, with specified frequency.

Exhibit 9c

VI. Quiet Period Policy The Quiet Period Policy is intended to establish guidelines by which all members of the Board of Trustees and SURS Staff will communicate with prospective providers during the search process. The objectives of the policy are to ensure that:

Prospective providers competing to become employed by SURS have equal access to

information regarding the search parameters; Communications related to the selection are consistent and accurate; and The process of selecting providers is efficient, diligent and fair.

The following guidelines will be instituted during a search process for a provider: A quiet period will commence upon Committee action (or Board action if the selection is

not initiated through a Committee) to authorize a search for a provider and end once a selection has been made by the Board and accepted by the provider;

Initiation, continuation and conclusion of the quiet period shall be publicly communicated to prevent inadvertent violations;

All Board members, and SURS Staff not directly involved in the search process, shall refrain from communicating with potential providers regarding any product or service related to the search offered by the provider throughout the quiet period and shall refrain from accepting meals, travel, hotel or other value from the providers;

Throughout the quiet period, if any Board member is contacted by a potential provider, the Board member shall refer the provider to the SURS Staff directly involved in the search process;

All authority related to the search process shall be exercised solely by the relevant Committee or Board as a whole, and not by individual Board members;

All information related to the search process shall be communicated by the SURS Consultant and Staff to the relevant Committee or Board as a whole, and not to individual Board members;

The quiet period does not prevent Board approved due diligence, client conference attendance or communications with an existing provider that happens to be a provider in the ordinary course of services provided by such providers; however, discussions related to the pending selection shall be avoided during those activities;

The provisions of this policy will apply to potential providers throughout the quiet period and shall be communicated to providers in conjunction with any competitive proposal process; and

A potential provider may be disqualified from a search process for a violation of this policy.

Exhibit 9c


10

VII. Investment Option and Provider Monitoring The investment options will be reviewed, net of all fees, and compared to reasonable benchmarks on a quarterly basis. A comprehensive evaluation will be conducted annually for each of the investment options and a determination will be made by the Board of Trustees to retain or replace any of the investment options. While frequent change is neither expected nor desirable, the process of monitoring investment performance relative to specified guidelines is necessary and on-going. If overall satisfaction with the investment option is acceptable, no action is required. If areas of dissatisfaction exist, the provider and the Board of Trustees must take steps to remedy the deficiency. If over a reasonable period the provider is unable to resolve the issue, termination may result. Investment option fees will be reviewed on an annual basis. The review will assess the reasonableness of the fees relative to peer investment options and confirm that participants are receiving a fair value in exchange for the fees rendered. The providers will A review of each provider shall be reviewed conducted annually. The review will include input from both the Consultant and Staff and will take into consideration, at a minimum, the provider’s organization, performance and cost of SMP investment options offered by the provider, and an overview of each SMP investment option offered by the provider. If the Staff or Consultant have significant concerns about a provider, the Staff or Consultant will communicate to the Investment Committee and a course of action may be determined and initiated. Unusual, notable or extraordinary events should be communicated by the provider immediately to the Staff, Consultant and representatives of the Board of Trustees. Examples of such events include portfolio manager or team departure, violation of investment guidelines, material litigation against the firm, or material changes in firm ownership structure, or announcements thereof. VIII. Investment Option/Provider Termination An investment option/provider should be considered for termination when the Board of Trustees has lost confidence in the investment option’s/provider’s ability to: Achieve performance and risk objectives, Comply with investment guidelines, Comply with reporting requirements, or Maintain a stable organization and retain key relevant investment professionals.

If the investment option/provider has consistently failed to adhere to one or more of the above conditions, it is reasonable to presume a lack of adherence going forward. Failure to remedy the

Exhibit 9c


11

circumstances of unsatisfactory performance by the investment option/provider, within a reasonable time, shall be grounds for termination. Any recommendation action to terminate an investment option/provider will be treated on an individual basis, and will not be made solely based on quantitative data. In addition to those above, other factors may include professional or client turnover, or material change to investment philosophy or processes. Considerable judgment must be exercised in the termination decision process. It is the Board’s intention to assure all interested parties that decisions made in carrying out these actions occur in a full disclosure environment characterized by objective evaluation and proper documentation. The overriding consideration with respect to all decisions is that they shall be made solely in the best interest of SMP participants and beneficiaries and consistent with other legal requirements. Prior to the termination decision, the primary and other relevant considerations shall be identified and described. An evaluation covering the quantitative and qualitative issues to be considered will be developed for each case and the relative importance of each evaluation area will be determined. Documentation regarding any such action should include, but is not limited to, the following items: A full description of the reason for the action, including the specific elements, serving as

the basis for the evaluation and identification of the relevant issues from the System’s perspective,

The assumptions made in the evaluation, if any, and The results considered and/or qualitative issues upon which the action was based.

When reviewing the documentation regarding the termination of an investment option or a provider, the primary focus of the Investment Committee shall be on ensuring that the Board will be able to satisfy any interested party that decisions were well reasoned, thoroughly considered, and prudent. Toward this end, the Chair and Committee members will review the written supporting documentation to ensure disclosure of all relevant issues. In evaluating a termination decision, Staff, Consultant and the Committee should review documentation to ensure that the evaluation process was fair and consistently applied. Candidates for termination may, at the pleasure of the Committee or upon the recommendation of Staff and Consultant, be asked to make a formal presentation to the Staff and/or Committee prior to a termination decision, but any such meeting shall not be permitted to delay any action the Board deems appropriate. An investment option/provider to be terminated shall be removed using one of the following approaches:

1. Remove and replace (map assets) with an alternative investment option/provider. 2. Freeze the assets managed by the terminated investment option/provider and direct new

assets to a replacement investment option/provider. 3. Phase out the investment option/provider over a specific time period. 4. Continue the investment option/provider but add a competing investment option/provider.

Exhibit 9c


12

5. Remove the investment option/provider and do not provide a replacement investment option/provider.

Any change to the investment options or provider lineup will be communicated to SMP participants as soon as practical upon approval by the Board of Trustees. IX. Participant Education and Communication SURS will communicate to SMP participants that they control their own investments; permit investment changes; and, provide educational materials allowing participants to make informed decisions. X. Coordination with the Plan Document Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any term or condition of this investment policy conflicts with any term or condition in the plan document, the terms and conditions of the plan document shall control. Initially adopted September 12, 2008; Revised April 23, 2009; September 11, 2009; September 3, 2010; September 16, 2011; October 25, 2012; September 13, 2013; September 19, 2014; September 11, 2015; September 16, 2016.

To: Investment Committee From: Investment Staff Date: September 1, 2016 Re: SURS Report on Usage of Minority-, Female-, and Disability-Owned Managers

August 2016 Illinois Senate Hearings The Illinois Senate Special Committee on Pension Investments conducted hearings on August 11 and 12, 2016 to monitor the use of minority- and female-owned asset management and brokerage firms by public pension systems. SURS was asked to testify and submit our 2015 emerging money managers’ report along with written responses to a questionnaire. The SURS response and presentation is provided. The following are some of the main themes from questions and discussions during the hearings.

• Goal-setting by percentage of fees paid to the managers • Asking majority-owned firms in regards to their diversity of leadership and commitment

to diversity • Diversity as a good value proposition/Diversity without compromising fiduciary duty • How are consultants involved in encouraging diversity in their firm and MFDB

utilization across all clients • All things equal, keep tax dollars in Illinois (use Illinois-based investment managers) • Provide detailed breakdown of overall MFDB numbers to the Committee • The next Committee hearing is planned for February 2017

SURS MFDB Numbers as of June 30, 2016 SURS has approximately $4.2 billion allocated to MFDB firms.

SURS MFDB Broker Utilization

SURS Summary Goals Utilization of Minority-, Female- and Persons with a Disability- Owned

Broker/Dealer Firms


The SURS Board of Trustees has adopted minimum expectations for the use of minority- and female-owned broker dealers. These expectations are communicated to SURS investment managers at the beginning of the relationship and at least annually thereafter. In aggregate, all asset classes exceeded the brokerage goals set forth in the Investment Policy for trading with minority-, female- and persons with a disability- owned firms. The following table lists the investment managers that have not met minimum expectations with regard to minority brokerage for the rolling four quarters ending June 30, 2016.

In July, SURS staff sent a letter to T. Rowe Price documenting their failure to comply with our brokerage goals. Following receipt of the letter, staff held a conference call with T. Rowe Price representatives to communicate our expectations and the consequences of not meeting our requirements. In a subsequent meeting in late August, T. Rowe Price’s head of trading discussed steps that the firm has already taken to address the issue. Staff expects to see marked improvement in the brokerage utilization in the coming quarter. Recent Activities

• On September 10, 2015, the Board of Trustees increased the diversity goal for new allocations to Alternative Investments from 10% to 20%.

• In October 2015, the SURS Board retained two hedge fund-of-funds providers. Each provider has a goal that at least 20% of the SURS assets to be allocated to funds owned by persons of diversity.

• In March 2016, SURS committed $100 million to Muller and Monroe Asset Management for investment in a portfolio of private equity funds managed by general partners owned by minorities, females and persons with a disability. This allocation builds on the existing program in this area managed on behalf of SURS by Fairview Capital Partners and Muller and Monroe Asset Management.

• In April 2016, SURS committed up to 2% of the portfolio to be allocated to equity index option strategies, to be managed as an overlay mandate, by Gladius Capital Management, contingent upon successful contract negotiations.

As of August 1, 2016, SURS has seven full time investment professionals on staff. (The SURS CIO recently retired on July 31, 2016.) Additionally, SURS has a senior investment accounting officer that works closely with the investment department. Four of the eight professional staff members (50%) are females and/or minorities. Two non-minority females, one Latina and one Latino are included on the investment staff.

3. What is the percentage of minority and women representation on the Fund’s consulting

staff that is specifically assigned to the Fund (excluding support staff)? Please specify the percentage of African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and women.

Exhibit 10c

Six individuals are assigned to the Illinois SURS account; three of these individuals are African American and 2 are women. In total, African Americans make up 50% of the Fund’s assigned team and 33% of the assigned team are women (both of which are African American).

4. What is the percentage of minority and women representation at the Fund’s hired consulting firm (excluding support staff)? Please specify the percentage of African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and women.

NEPC has a total of 208 employees (excluding support staff), 5% (or 11 employees) of employees are African American, 9% (or 18 employees) are Asian American and 3% (7 employees) are Latino American and 21% (or 44 employees) are non-minority women.

• African American 3% • Asian American 15% • Latino 4% • Non-Minority Women 24%

These are approximate figures based on information supplied by the majority owned asset managers. Every effort was made to be as accurate as possible; however, some firms do not maintain staffing statistics to this level of specificity, and some employees choose not to declare an ethnicity.

In cases where ethnicity was not reported, either because they chose not to identify or because it is not customary to record such information in their country of work, the employees were included in the total numbers assigned to SURS accounts and were not listed as belonging to a minority.

10. Are all of your underlying managers meeting MWBE brokerage goals? Are there any consequences for underlying managers not meeting MWBE brokerage goals?

The SURS Board of Trustees has adopted minimum expectations for the use of minority- and female-owned broker dealers. These expectations are communicated to SURS investment managers at the beginning of the relationship and at least annually thereafter. In aggregate, all asset classes exceeded the brokerage goals set forth in the Investment Policy for trading with minority-, female- and persons with a disability- owned firms. In addition, for the four quarters ending March 31, 2016, all investment managers with the exception of two met or exceeded the minimum expectations with regard to minority brokerage.

SURS continuously monitors managers’ compliance with the Minority-Owned Broker/Dealer

Usage Policy, attached as Exhibit 20, and has established a series of consequences for those managers who continually fail to meet expectations. Since January 2006, SURS has been formally communicating quarterly with investment managers who are not achieving the desired levels of trading. For each trailing 4-quarter period that the manager falls short of expectations, the manager is sent a letter of non-compliance and must provide a written response to SURS as to why they did not meet expectations and what course of action is planned to achieve the goals in the future. Please see Section XIV(B) of Exhibit 20 for a complete list of consequences for managers who consistently fail to meet the minimum expectations.

11. How many of your managers have violated your MWBE Brokerage Policy on multiple occasions? Who are these firms and how many times have they violated the policy?

One investment manager, T. Rowe Price, did not achieve the brokerage goals set forth in the MWBE Brokerage Policy on multiple occasions. T. Rowe Price fell short of meeting the minimum expectation for the periods ending December 31, 2015, and March 31, 2016. Staff is in the midst of serious discussions with the firm on this issue, and T. Rowe Price has committed to meeting the goals in the future. Staff is currently in the process of scheduling a brokerage review with the firm in October as part of the annual brokerage review with the Investment Committee.

20. At what point do you consider direct hiring of successful underlying managers in a manager of managers program not including alternative investments?

The following factors are considered in determining when a manager should be considered for direct hire by SURS into the overall SURS portfolio: • Stability in Organization • Growth in Assets under Management • Confidence in Investment Process • Strong Investment Performance • Product Fit

program will be considered.

The SURS Board of Trustees has adopted minimum expectations for the use of minority- and female-owned broker dealers. These expectations are communicated to SURS investment managers at the beginning of the relationship and at least annually thereafter. In aggregate, all asset classes exceeded the brokerage goals set forth in the Investment Policy for trading with minority-, female- and persons with a disability- owned firms.

SURS continuously monitors managers’ compliance with the Minority-Owned Broker/Dealer

Usage Policy, attached as Exhibit 20, and has established a series of consequences for those managers who continually fail to meet expectations. Since January 2006, SURS has been formally communicating quarterly with investment managers who are not achieving the desired levels of trading. For each trailing 4-quarter period that the manager falls short of expectations, the manager is sent a letter of non-compliance and must provide a written response to SURS as to why they did not meet expectations and what course of action is planned to achieve the goals in the future. Please see Section XIV(B) of Exhibit 20 for a complete list of consequences for managers who consistently fail to meet the minimum expectations.

It is important to note that SURS reviews MWBE broker utilization each quarter, examining trades over a rolling four-quarter basis. Even managers who routinely exceed the minimum expectations may have occasional periods where the utilization may fall short. For example, although PIMCO fell short of expectations for the period ending March 31, 2016, the manager previously met or exceeded the goal for each period during the last five years. SURS focuses the most attention on those managers who consistently miss expectations in this area.

Please see Exhibits 8-19 for information on the commission dollar amounts paid to the

brokers each manager utilized on the SURS account.

25. In 2015 and 2016 (through March 31), what is the total dollar amount of commissions paid and percentage of the total paid to Illinois-headquartered minority- and female-owned broker/dealers? Please separate commissions paid as follows: (a) total and (b) net of step outs, correspondence, and/or any other non-direct trading.

Please see Exhibits 8-19 for a breakdown of Illinois-headquartered minority- and female-owned broker/dealers and commissions paid to each broker/dealer utilized, in total and net of step outs, correspondence, commission recapture, and/or any other non-direct trading, by asset class and manager for 2015 and through March 31, 2016. Fixed income is reported by market value traded.

26. Do you require your fixed income managers to meet your goals by product or in aggregate? (e.g. do you have goals for corporate bonds traded, treasury bonds traded, mortgage securities traded, etc.) If not, why not?

SURS expects its fixed income managers to achieve the aggregate goals set forth with an objective of best execution in the implementation of portfolio strategies. SURS does not have specific goals for the different sub-asset classes and believes that investment managers have the required expertise to determine which brokers are best suited to execute trades of various types most efficiently.

27. Has the Board of Trustees implemented a policy encouraging the hiring of minority or women money managers by the Fund across all asset classes? If so, when was the policy promulgated? How has this policy been implemented? Describe any changes made to the policy and its execution in the last year to improve minority and female-owned business enterprise participation. Are there any asset classes that do not have minority and women representation? Please provide a copy of the policy.

SURS Board of Trustees adopted such a policy in 1992 and reaffirmed the policy in 2001. In December 2006, the Board formally incorporated this policy into Section XV of the SURS Investment Policy. Section XIV of the current investment policy is dedicated to usage of Emerging, Minority- and Female-Owned firms. The Board formally reviews and approves the Investment Policy annually. The most recent copy of Section XIV of the SURS Investment Policy has been attached to this letter as Exhibit 20.

The policy has been revised over the past several years in an attempt to further improve

participation by minority- and female-owned investment management firms. Some of the revisions to the Investment Policy were required by P.A. 96-0006. In accordance with P.A. 96-0006, goals for the management of SURS assets by minorities, females and persons with a disability were added for each of the major asset classes. In 2012, the overall goal for MFDB

Exhibit 10c

12

utilization across the SURS program also increased from 17% to 25% of actively managed assets. In September of 2014, the goal of 20% of total assets be managed by MFDB investment managers meeting the statutory definition of a minority-owned business was established. In September of 2015, the goal of new allocations to Alternative Investments was raised from 10% to 20%. The table that follows identifies utilization goals for actively managed assets in each of the major asset classes. These goals will be reviewed annually.

All asset classes have minority and female representation.

28. Has the Board of Trustees implemented a policy encouraging the hiring of minority- and female-owned broker/dealers by the Fund’s asset managers? If so, when was the policy promulgated? How has this policy been implemented? Does your policy include all asset managers who trade publicly traded assets (e.g. REITs, hedge funds, etc)? Does your policy preclude the utilization of non-direct trading methods toward meeting your goals? Describe any changes made to the policy and its execution in the last year to improve minority and female-owned business enterprise participation. Please provide a copy of the policy.

During calendar year 2004, SURS Board of Trustees adopted minimum expectations for the use of minority- and female-owned broker dealers. These expectations were communicated to SURS investment managers in May 2004 and reiterated since then, and significant progress has been made in reaching these expectations. First effective January 1, 2006, the SURS Board of Trustees formally adopted the Minority-Owned Broker/Dealer Usage Policy, which establishes specific minimum expectation levels for trading with minority and female-owned firms. This policy applies to active managers of public markets separate account portfolios. SURS continuously monitors managers’ compliance with this revised policy and has established a series of consequences for those managers who continually fail to meet expectations. A copy of the Minority-Owned Broker/Dealer Usage Policy is attached to this letter as Section XIV (B) of Exhibit 20.

In December 2009, language was added to the Minority-Owned Broker/Dealer Usage Policy

to strongly encourage the use of direct, trade execution with minority- and female-owned broker/dealers. In September 2010, the policy was further strengthened to allow credit only for direct, rather than indirect, trading with MFDB firms. In 2011, the policy was expanded to include dedicated brokerage targets for managers of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) and Real Estate Investment Trust Securities (REITS). In addition, the domestic equity

expectation was increased from 25% to 30%, while the non-U.S. equity expectation was increased from 10% to 12.5%.

In October 2012, summary goals for the utilization of minority-owned broker/dealer have been established for the aggregate U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity and fixed income asset classes. In addition, the non-U.S. equity expectation was increased from 12.5% to 15.0%, and the goal for passive U.S. equity was increased to 35%.

In September 2014, the MFDB brokerage goal for global equity separate accounts was increased from 17.5% to 20.0%.

29. What steps is the Fund taking to encourage direct trading with minority- and female-owned broker/dealers across all relevant asset classes instead of step-outs and correspondent relationships?

As discussed in the response to the previous question, SURS has added language to its Investment Policy that allows credit only for direct, rather than indirect, trading with minority-, and female-owned broker dealers across all asset classes in which goals for utilization have been outlined.

30. Please list transition managers utilized in 2015 and 2016 (through March 31) and commissions paid to each. Have you utilized any MWBE managers? If so who and if not why not?

SURS completed one transition during calendar year 2015. SURS utilized the transition services of Northern Trust for the transition. Total equity commissions paid (including MFD owned firms) for the transition was $162,147.

During calendar year 2016 (through March 31), SURS completed one transition. SURS utilized the transition services of BlackRock for the transition. Total equity commissions paid (including MFD firms) for the transition was $71,180.

Both Northern Trust and BlackRock utilized MWBE firms to execute a portion of the trades for the transitions, illustrated in the responses to questions 32 and 33.

31. If you don’t use a pool of transition managers, how do you determine which transition managers to utilize?

SURS has historically utilized its index fund providers and custodian as transition managers. Transitions very often involve index accounts, either as source of funds or final destination of funds. Thus, using the index providers, who are experienced in portfolio restructuring, seemed a reasonable and practical solution. Transitions also involve the full or partial liquidation of a single manager account where cash is then used for benefit payments and/or the funding of other managers. Transitions such as these are efficiently conducted through the custodian.

32. Of the transitions that are conducted, what were the total fees and commissions paid to transition managers? Please list and denote fees and commissions paid to all transition managers individually and denote MWBE firms.

Exhibit 10c

14

The only “fees” paid to transition managers are the commissions earned from trading. Please see the response to question 33 for a list of equity commissions paid to brokers during the transitions.

For the transitions conducted in 2015 and 2016 (through March 31), minority, female, and persons of disability-owned brokerage firms were utilized and accounted for $59,535 in commissions, approximately 26% of total equity transition commissions generated.

Fixed income securities are not traded through exchanges like equity securities. Prices are determined by the bid/ask spread obtained through broker dealers. Minority, female, and persons of disability-owned brokerage firms were utilized (Loop & Cabrera) for trading of the fixed income securities, and accounted for approximately 24% of total fixed income securities traded.

33. Please list gross commissions paid in 2015 and 2016 (through March 31) to brokers used during transitions. In addition, please list the names and commissions paid to each broker.

34. Are the Fund’s transitions managers required to meet or exceed the Fund’s minority/women owned brokerage firm utilization goals, if the Fund has goals, when conducting open market trades during transitions? Please explain.

SURS’ Minority and Women-Owned Brokerage Usage Policy formally applies only to public

markets investment managers. However, SURS makes the importance of this issue clear to the transition manager in advance of the transition. Transition managers are expected to meet or exceed the brokerage goal of the asset class being transitioned. As previously mentioned, minority and women-owned brokerage firms were utilized to a significant extent in the recent transitions, accounting for approximately 26% of the equity commissions generated in 2015 and 2016 (through March 31).

35. Public Act 96-6 required funds to adopt goals across all asset classes. How has the Fund’s

goals changed since passage of the new law? How else has PA 96-6 impacted the Fund’s use of emerging investment managers? How do you promote transparency within the Board? Are your full Board meetings and Investment Committee meetings entirely open to the public? Has the Board gone into Executive Session regarding non-legal matters in the

past? If so, for what general reasons did the Board decide to hold an Executive Session instead of a public hearing? Do you (or have you) given consideration to providing the same written materials to the public so they can follow and understand the proceedings better? (as general referencing discloses little in the greater interest of transparency)

Public Act 96-0006 SURS has a longstanding commitment to providing opportunities to emerging, minority- and female-owned firms. In 1992, the SURS Board of Trustees passed a resolution declaring a goal of increased participation by minority- and female-owned investment management and brokerage firms. In the years that followed, SURS has continued to build on that commitment. On April 3, 2009, Public Act 96-0006 (PA 96-6) was enacted into law by the Illinois State Legislature. SURS already had a policy in place for many years addressing the importance of utilizing minority- and female-owned firms. However, the passage of P.A. 96-6 provided SURS an opportunity to expand its Emerging Investment Managers and Broker/Dealers Policy. Some modifications to the investment policies that were implemented to comply with PA 96-6 include: (1) Redefined categorization of emerging managers as those managers that manage

between $10 million and $10 billion in assets and are owned by minorities, females, or persons with a disability. Prior to the passage of PA 96-6, the asset categorization for qualification as an emerging manager was $10 million to $2 billion.

(2) Separate goals for utilization of emerging investment managers owned by minorities, females, and persons with a disability. Previously, the system reported figures and goals based on the aggregate usage of minority- and female-owned managers.

(3) Expansion of existing brokerage policy to encourage its investment managers to increase even further their use of minority and female-owned brokerage firms, subject to best execution requirements.

Additionally, a comparison of the fund’s targeted levels for emerging investment manager utilization prior and post passage of PA 96-6 are provided below Pre - PA 96-6: Even before the passage of Public Act 96-6, SURS had adopted goals for the utilization of minority- and female-owned firms. The goals were based on percentages of total assets. The Investment Policy adopted on September 12, 2008, stated, “It is the goal of the Board that, subject to its fiduciary responsibility, 15% of total investment assets be managed by emerging investment managers and minority-owned and women-owned investment managers.”

Exhibit 10c

16

Post - PA 96-6: In accordance with Public Act 96-6, the SURS Board adopted separate goals for utilization of emerging investment managers owned by minorities, females, and persons with a disability. The following goals were adopted on September 11, 2009.

Goals∗ for Utilization of Minority- and Female-Owned Investment Management Firms

As of September 11, 2009

On September 16, 2011, the Board of Trustees increased the overall goal for utilization of minority- and female-owned investment managers from 15% of actively managed assets to 17% of actively managed assets. The fixed income goals for minorities and females increased by one percentage point each to 7% and 4%, respectively, as shown in the table that follows.



On October 25, 2012, the Board of Trustees again increased the overall goal for utilization of minority- and female-owned investment managers from 17% of actively managed assets to 25% of actively managed assets. The goal for utilization of minorities and females in the equity asset class increased by ten and five percentage points respectively, to 20% and 10%. The fixed income goals for minorities and females increased by five and four percentage points each to 12% and 8%, respectively, as shown in the table that follows.

* The goals are based on the percentage of actively managed assets.

All SURS Board of Trustees and Investment Committee meetings are open to public attendance and the calendar of meeting dates can be found on the SURS website (www.surs.org). Meeting agendas and logistical details are announced in a press release that is issued at least 48 hours in advance and posted on the home page of the website. The meeting minutes are posted on the website within 14 days after they are approved by the Board or the Committees of the Board. The Board has occasionally gone into Executive Session regarding non-legal matters as allowed by the Open Meetings Act, such as to consider a personnel matter, discuss an investment contract or review Executive Session minutes to decide whether they may be opened. The minutes of the Executive Sessions are posted on the website after they have been approved and opened. Information regarding the individual members and the policies of the Board of Trustees is also available to view on the website.

Members of the public can request any written materials discussed at an open meeting, and

such materials will be provided following the meeting, if the materials are readily available. However, relying on advice from the Attorney General, the written meeting materials provided to the trustees are not distributed to other attendees, either before or during Board meetings. Additionally, because the written meeting materials can easily run up to 400 pages or more per Board meeting, the resources required to print an unknown quantity of additional Board packets so as to have the materials available for all attending members of the public could be significant. In any event, written meeting materials, discussed at an open meeting, are always made part of the meeting minutes. Once the minutes are posted to the SURS website, all interested parties have equal access to view the information in the documents.

36. Is there a maximum allocation your plan is allowed to allocate to a MWBE firm? If so, what is the maximum? Is there a maximum allocation your plan is allowed to allocate to a MWBE firm for each asset class? If so, what is the maximum by asset class?

There are no maximum allocation limits for MWBE firms. There is no maximum allocation

that SURS is allowed to allocate to MWBE in any given asset class.

37. Is there a maximum allocation your plan is allowed to allocate to trade with an MWBE firm? IF so, what is the maximum? IS there a maximum volume or percent your plan is allowed to trade with a MWBE firm for each asset class? IF so, what is the maximum? IS your policy a ceiling or floor? Why?

There are no maximum trade allocations or volume limits for trading with MWBE firms.

38. What standards do you and your consultants use to confirm and certify that an investment

manager or broker is MWBE? NEPC uses eVestment to certify a manager’s MWDBE status. Additionally, if the firm is

selected for further due diligence, a copy of their MWDBE certification is requested.

39. How many MWBE firms did your consultant recommend in searches which occurred in 2015 and 2016 (through March 31)? How many MWBE firms did your consultant recommend in searches without a specific MWBE participation mandate? How many MWBE firms are currently on your consultant’s recommended or select lists?

In 2015, NEPC recommended 62 MWBE firms in 45 different searches. In 2016, through

June 30, 2016, 45 MWBE firms have been recommended in 39 different searches. Of the 62 searches conducted in 2015, 4 of these searches were for MWBE firms. For 2016,

to date none of the 45 searches conducted were for MWBE firms. Currently, NEPC has 18 strategies on our FPLs from 11 different MWBE Investment Firms.

40. Have you issued any RFPs which preclude MWBE firms, as a whole, from responding due

to minimum requirements of the RFP? Please include all RFPs issued across all asset classes from June 30, 2015 to March 31, 2016.

No, SURS did not issue any RFPs which precluded MWBE firms from responding. Two RFPs for investment management services were issued by SURS during the above mentioned time period, as shown in the table below.

41. What, if any, precautions do you take so there is no discrimination in hiring or firing a firm

based on the political affiliation of a firm’s partners or employees? The process to be used in the selection, retention and termination of investment managers is

in accordance with the SURS Investment Policy. The use of a well-defined process serves to protect against inappropriate influences in such decisions.

Retention The criteria used to determine the minimum qualifications of firms to be selected for an assignment are shown in the table that follows:

Exhibit 10c

20

Selection Criteria

1. Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or otherwise qualified under the Illinois Pension Code.

2. Experience of the firm in the management of institutional portfolios

operated under prudent person standards, as well as related investment management experience.

3. Qualifications and/or depth of the professional Staff.

4. Soundness of the firm’s investment philosophy and process.

5. The investment record of the firm and/or the firm’s principals in former

associations where that record is verifiable. 6. The adequacy of the firm’s trading, back office, accounting and

reporting, and client servicing capabilities. 7. Fees.

Using the above criteria established by the Board of Trustees, the top firms are selected using a competitive proposal process based upon the experience and qualifications of the firm’s principals, the soundness of the firm’s investment philosophy and process, as well as the strength of the investment record and organization.

Termination From time to time it will be necessary for the System to terminate a contractual relationship with an investment manager and these actions must be viewed in the context of a fiduciary decision. Due to the sensitivity of this issue, the Board has established the following guidelines to assist in making these termination decisions. In establishing these guidelines, it is the Board’s intention to assure all interested parties that decisions made in carrying out these actions occur in a full disclosure environment characterized by objective evaluation and proper documentation. The overriding consideration with respect to all decisions is that they shall be made solely in the best interest of plan participants and beneficiaries and consistent with other legal requirements.

Any action to terminate an investment manager should be based on one or more of the following primary criteria:

• significant changes in firm ownership and/or structure, • loss of one or more key personnel and/or insufficient staffing, • significant loss of clients and/or assets under management for the firm or specific strategy in

which SURS is invested, • failure to grow assets in the strategy, • shifts in the firm’s philosophy or process, • significant and persistent lack of responsiveness to client requests, • changes in SURS’ investment strategy eliminating the need for a particular style or strategy, • chronic violations of SURS’ Investment Policy or Parameters, • unsatisfactory investment performance,

Exhibit 10c

21

• identification of a new asset class or approach which has been approved in advance by the Board,

• a need for diversification of styles within an existing asset class, or • failure to satisfy legal requirements.

XIV. Emerging Investment Managers and Broker/Dealers

The State Universities Retirement System of Illinois (SURS) is committed to providing opportunities for emerging investment managers and broker/dealers. SURS has taken and is continuing to take important and appropriate actions to provide increased opportunities for emerging investment managers, as well as minority-, female-, and persons with a disability-owned (MFDB) investment managers that have advanced beyond the statutory definition of emerging investment managers.7 This program has been and will continue to be important to the SURS Board of Trustees and has received the highest priority. In determining the status of a business enterprise, SURS will use the definitions found in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act, 30 ILCS 575/2(A), (B).

The Illinois Pension Code, in 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1, encourages the trustees of the System to use emerging investment managers in managing the System's assets to the greatest extent feasible within the bounds of financial and fiduciary prudence, and to take affirmative steps to remove any barriers to the full participation of emerging investment managers in investment opportunities afforded by the System. Furthermore, in accordance with the Illinois Pension Code, SURS encourages its investment managers to use emerging investment managers as subcontractors when the opportunity arises.

A. Goals for Utilization of Minority-, Female-, and Persons with a Disability-Owned (MFDB) Investment Management Firms

It is the goal of the Board that, subject to its fiduciary responsibility, 20% of total assets be managed by emerging investment managers and MFDB investment managers. Further, an additional goal, subject to fiduciary responsibility, is that 25% of total actively managed investment assets be managed by emerging investment managers and MFDB investment managers. This goal shall be reviewed annually. SURS strives, on an ongoing basis, to improve and increase its relationships with and use of MFDB managers and broker/dealers.

It is also the goal of the Board that, subject to its fiduciary responsibility, the use of MFDB investment managers be significant in each of the broad asset classes in which SURS is invested and not concentrated in any particular asset class. In accordance with 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1, SURS has established the following goals for the management of assets in specific asset classes by emerging investment managers.8 The table that follows identifies utilization goals for actively managed

7 The phrase "emerging investment manager" is used throughout the text of this document. 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1(4) defines “emerging investment manager” to mean "a qualified investment adviser that manages an investment portfolio of at least $10,000,000 but less than $10,000,000,000 and is a ‘minority owned business’, ‘female owned business’ or ‘business owned by a person with a disability’ as those terms are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act.” 8 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1 requires the establishment of “3 separate goals for (i) emerging investment managers that are minority owned businesses; (ii) emerging investment managers that are female owned businesses; and (iii) emerging investment managers that are businesses owned by a person with a disability.” Beginning January 1, 2016, per 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1(10), it shall be the aspirational goal for SURS to use emerging investment

Exhibit 10c

assets in each of the major asset classes. While these objectives may not be immediately achieved, the desire is to show meaningful progress toward these goals over time. These goals shall be reviewed annually.

B. Minority-Owned Broker/Dealer Usage Policy

The Board of Trustees of the State Universities Retirement System has an established policy that seeks increased participation of investment management firms owned by minorities, females, and persons with a disability. As part of this policy, the Board also adopts minimum expectations for the use of minority-owned broker/dealers9 by the System’s investment managers. Only trades executed directly with minority-owned broker/dealers will be considered in the achievement of these goals.

Summary goals for the utilization of minority-owned broker/dealers have been established for the aggregate U.S. equity, non-U.S. equity and fixed income asset classes as shown in the table below. SURS seeks to consistently exceed these high level goals while achieving best execution.


In order to achieve the goals at the asset class level, minimum expectations have been established for individual investment managers. These levels are based on the asset class in which the investment manager invests. SURS encourages its

managers for not less than 20% of the total funds under management, and that not less than 20% of investment advisors be minorities, females, and persons with disabilities as those terms are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Femals, and Persons with Disabilities Act.

9 For purposes of this section and in accordance with 40 ILCS 5/1-109.1, “minority-owned broker dealer” means “a qualified broker-dealer who meets the definition of ‘minority owned business’, ‘female owned business’, or ‘business owned by a person with a disability’, as those terms are defined in the Business Enterprise for Minorities Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act.”

Reporting Guidelines Each investment manager will submit a compliance report within 30 days after March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Reporting will be monitored over a rolling twelve-month period.

Consequences of Non-Compliance SURS continuously monitors investment managers’ compliance with this policy and has established a series of consequences for those investment managers who continually fail to meet expectations. The investment managers are expected to achieve the desired levels over rolling twelve-month periods. The following steps will occur if the investment manager continues to fall short of expectations:

1) A follow-up letter will be distributed to the investment manager notachieving the minimum level of minority-owned broker/dealer usage. Theinvestment manager will be reminded of the usage expected by SURS.Currently, as stated in the Annual Report to the Governor and GeneralAssembly on the Use of Emerging Investment Managers, prepared asrequired in Public Act 87-1265, a letter is distributed to all of the investmentmanagers on an annual basis listing the level of expectations.

11 The minimum expectation for global equity investment managers increases from 17.5% to 20.0%, effective January 1, 2015.

Page 69 of 72

Exhibit 10c

2) Not achieving the desired level of minority-owned broker/dealer usage willbe noted in the annual investment manager review presented to the SURSBoard of Trustees. This could impact the evaluation of the firm.

3) SURS Staff will conduct a meeting with the investment manager to discussthe reasons for not achieving the desired level of trading.

4) Investment managers not achieving the expected levels of broker/dealerusage may be subject to a moratorium on additional funding.

5) If an investment manager fails to comply with the request, they may beinvited to appear before the SURS Board of Trustees to explain why they areunable to achieve the desired level of trading.

C. Manager Diversity Program

Objectives and Goals The State Universities Retirement System (SURS) has implemented the Manager Diversity Program (MDP), formerly known as the Manager Development Program, in its proactive efforts to assist in the development of emerging investment management firms. The Manager Diversity Program is a manager of managers program that is overseen by SURS Staff.

The primary goal of the MDP is identifying highly successful minority-, female-, and persons with a disability-owned (MFDB) investment managers that can then be awarded meaningful allocations in the actively managed portfolio.

The performance objective of the MDP is to seek annualized investment returns, net of investment management fees, in excess of the market goal for 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. While individual investment managers may underperform in any given year, the diversification within the program should limit the underperformance at the program level.

Benchmarks The Manager Diversity Program consists of five broad components, each of which is measured by a relevant benchmark. The table below identifies the benchmark for each program component. Individual investment manager benchmarks are identified in the investment guidelines for each investment manager.

Exhibit 10c

Search and Selection Process For searches affiliated with the SURS Manager Diversity Program (MDP), the Investment Staff conducts the search process with the Consultant providing an independent evaluation of the program annually. The criteria used to determine the minimum qualifications of firms to be selected for an assignment are the same as the criteria generally applicable to investment manager selection, discussed in Section VIII(B), entitled “Investment Manager Selection.”

Using the criteria established by the Board of Trustees, the top firms are selected using a competitive proposal process based upon the experience and qualifications of the firm’s principals, the soundness of the firm’s investment philosophy and process, as well as the strength of the investment record and organization.

The search process for investment manager(s) shall be conducted in a substantially similar manner to that of the Consultant search process, discussed in Section VIII(A), entitled “Consultant Selection and Retention,” except that the Consultant may assist SURS staff in the search process. It is important to note that SURS does not use any criteria that would be considered a barrier to an emerging investment manager such as a minimum number of years in business or a minimum asset level under management. As a part of the selection process, SURS utilizes databases to ensure that qualified emerging investment managers are included in the pool of eligible candidates.

Investment Manager Evaluation Investment managers in the MDP will be evaluated in the same manner as that set forth in Section VIII (Selection and Retention). Termination decisions will follow the guidelines set forth in Section X (Investment Manager Termination Guidelines). An evaluation of each investment manager shall be conducted annually.

Authority to Hire/Retain/Terminate Investment Managers The MDP is a manager of managers program overseen by SURS staff. As such, SURS Staff has the responsibility to identify, recruit, and monitor MDP investment managers. SURS Staff will make recommendations on the selection, retention and termination of MDP investment managers, but the Board (acting through its Investment Committee) reserves the ultimate authority with respect to all investment manager hiring, retention and termination decisions. The SURS Staff has the responsibility to implement the Board decisions through negotiation, execution and enforcement of the investment management agreement and guidelines. All investment management agreements and amendments thereto must be executed by the Executive Director. In the event that termination of an investment manager is warranted under the Investment Manager Termination Guidelines, and prompt termination of the investment manager is necessary to protect and preserve System assets, SURS Staff may, with the prior approval of the Executive Director, terminate the investment manager prior to Board action. The Board shall be promptly notified of the decision to terminate the investment manager, and the decision shall be presented to the Investment Committee for ratification at its next meeting.

Retention and termination decisions will be fully documented and will include a full

Page 71 of 72

Exhibit 10c

description of the reason for the action, including the specific elements serving as the basis for the evaluation and identification of the relevant issues from the System’s perspective.

SURS Staff has the authority to rebalance between MDP investment managers in order to maintain target allocations and style neutrality in each component of the MDP. Staff will report the results of rebalancing activity to the Investment Committee at the next regular Investment Committee meeting.

Advancement The following factors are considered in determining when an investment manager should be advanced into the larger SURS portfolio:

• Stability in Organization• Growth in Assets under Management• Confidence in Investment Process• Strong Investment Performance• Product Fit

In addition to the factors mentioned above, the needs of the overall SURS investment program will be considered.

Introduction Markets witnessed quite a surprise in the second quarter as the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. Concerns of increased political risk in the UK and Europe briefly jolted equity and currency markets across the globe. Risk assets sharply sold off but quickly reversed as market concerns abated. US markets followed suit and ultimately continued their rally as the S&P 500 ended the quarter up 2.5% and US high yield bonds rose 5.5% (Exhibit 1). Outside the US, emerging markets demonstrated resiliency to finish the quarter in positive territory. Developed market equities modestly recovered with the MSCI EAFE down only 1.5%. Meanwhile, developed market government bond yields marched lower to record levels: 10-year UK yields declined 60 basis points and the US Treasury yield fell below 1.5%. While in Germany and Japan, yield curves extended further into negative terrain.

The fleeting shock of the United Kingdom’s EU referendum vote has now passed with equities in the US and UK pushing beyond record highs. Yet a lingering question remains following the Brexit vote. What would motivate voters in the United Kingdom to walk away from over 40 years of eco-nomic and political orthodoxy? Political scientists will dissect the outcome for years to come but for many UK voters the culmination of low growth and limited wage gains manifested itself as a populist fervor against the “establishment.” This voter psy-chology in the UK likely resonates broadly among the developed world. In the years following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, subdued economic growth and economic uncertainty have given rise to increased political dissent. Irrespective of politi-cal orientation, the fault lines of secular low wage gains and income inequality has eroded the estab-lished political order across the developed world.

While the ramifications of greater political dissent are unknown, political risk is likely to remain an ongoing concern for financial markets.

In contrast to the emerging markets, investors are generally unfamiliar with material political risk in developed markets. Never-theless, the course of action is the same for the two markets during times of elevated stress. We encourage investors to look past the political risk with a focus on long-term fundamentals and objectively assess the valuation opportunities offered by a mar-ket. To this end, we believe equity markets in Europe and Japan provide a favorable return outlook with attractive valuations relative to the US. The unprecedented central bank support in Europe and Japan provides a positive backdrop of improved cor-porate earnings and elevated risk premia, supporting an overweight equity position. For investors implementing a partial strategic currency hedge, we recommend a larger overweight as developed market currency risk is largely an uncompensated one. While

in the emerging markets, recent strength in equities and currencies reinforces the commitment to both equity and fixed income allocations. These markets continue to offer reasonable equity valuations, un-dervalued currencies, and high real interest rates relative to the developed world. We encourage investors to maintain current targets as we believe future return expectations in the emerging markets adequately compensate investors relative to long-term risks.

In the US, equity and credit markets have rallied considerably from the lows seen in February. At that time, domestic stocks and high-yield bonds offered a compelling entry point for investors. Sub-sequently, high yield credit spreads have fallen to long-term averages while the rapid ascension of US equity prices has pushed valuation multiples to their upper ranges relative to history (Exhibit 2). In light of this, we believe the risk-return profile of high yield remains attractive but we recommend investors trim their exposure to US equity. NEPC has long advocated the bene-fits of a disciplined rebalancing approach. This holds true today for US stocks, as a process of reducing exposure to assets that have outperformed expectations and increasing exposure to assets that have underperformed are fundamental to our invest-ment philosophy.

Rebalancing opportunities can also be found in developed market government bond exposure. Japan and many European yield curves are deeply negative with 30 year rates hovering near zero. As such, we recommend investors review their exposure to benchmark focused global bond strategies and look to eliminate Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI) based strate-gies. While US interest rates have rallied significantly in 2016, US duration continues to hold a vital place in a diversified risk bal-anced portfolio. That being said, we encourage investors to reaffirm their duration exposure. For liability driven investors, this includes rebalancing both long Treasuries and long credit while reviewing hedge ratio targets. Similarly, we encourage total re-turn investors to trim long Treasuries and risk parity exposure following recent outsized gains. Furthermore, with long-term infla-tion expectations near historical lows, we recommend investors preserve US duration exposure with a strong bias towards TIPS over US core bonds.

Global Equity The S&P 500 managed to end June modestly positive and returned 2.5% in the second quarter. The Russell 2000 had a strong quarter as 9 out of the 10 economic sectors registered positive returns. From a sector basis, the more defensive sectors led the market higher with Energy, Telecommunications, Utilities and Health Care. Sectors lagging in the quarter were Consumer Discre-tionary, Information Technology, and Industrials.

Across the developed world, equity markets declined following the UK’s decision to leave the EU before rally-ing in the final days of the quarter. Ireland and Italy led developed markets lower, selling off 9.9% and 9.7% re-spectively. In local terms, Japanese equity markets de-clined nearly 7%. While, for US dollar investors, Japan equities returned a positive 1% as the Yen approached a 2 year high against the dollar. The Yen has rallied consid-erably for the year and continues to benefit from its per-ceived safe-haven status. Similar to the US, energy was the top sector in developed markets, returning roughly 11.5% while consumer discretionary stocks were one of the weakest returning -8.2% for the quarter.

Within emerging markets, investors looked past the Brex-it fears and recognized ongoing positive developments. Latin America was a particular focus, where favorable election results in Peru and further progress in the im-peachment process in Brazil led to those markets return-ing 16.9% and 13.3%, respectively. In contrast, China equi-

ty markets continued to waver, trailing the broader benchmark with a return of -1.7%. From a sector perspective, consumer sta-ples stocks performed the best, returning 4.2% for the quarter.

Global Fixed Income The second quarter illustrated the current dichotomy within fixed income: safe-haven assets rallied significantly, while risky as-sets also outperformed as investors continued to search for yield. Globally, the 10 year German bund broke into negative territo-ry, falling 28 bps to -0.13%. In Japan, 10-year bond yields continued to move lower, settling at -0.22%. At home, the U.S. 10 year Treasury yield compressed 29 bps, nearing its all-time low at 1.49%.

The Barclays Aggregate returned 2.2%, while US High Yield returned 5.5% for the quarter. Overall, credit was broadly supported by lower quality sectors. Non-credit risk assets also performed well, as emerging market local debt returned 2.7% in the quarter with a strong rebound in June of 5.9%. For the year, emerging local debt remains one of the best performing risk assets in fixed income, returning over 14%.

Currency Markets Leading up to the UK referendum in late June, currency movements were mixed as the likelihood of a “remain” vote was expected. Following the surprise Brexit decision, cur-rency pairs were extremely volatile as the US dollar and Jap-anese yen rallied substantially. Demand flowed into “safe haven” currencies as the British pound depreciated heavily with double digit percentage declines on the day following the UK referendum. Emerging market currency returns were mixed in the second quarter with many currencies bene-fitting from higher commodity prices and positive political developments. As stated in previous Market Thoughts, cur-rency markets are likely to exhibit heightened volatility and we encourage investors to strategically hedge a portion of their developed market currency exposure.

Commodity Markets Commodities posted another strong quarter as the Bloomberg Commodity Index’s 12.8% return represented the best quarterly return for the index since 2010. In the energy sector, oil prices continued to recover breaching $50 despite an overhang in US inventories. Among precious metals, gold prices benefited from a demand for safe haven assets and expectations the Federal Reserve would hold policy rates at current levels. Industrial metals also rallied, benefiting from low inventories and higher de-mand expectations due to stimulus in China. Furthermore, in the agriculture sector, soybean prices reached a 2 year high as flooding in Argentina raised concerns of tighter global supplies.

Pension Liability Pension discount rates declined to 3.6% as of June 30, nearly 30 basis points (bps) lower than first quarter levels according to the Citigroup indices. Supporting this decline was a 31 bps decline in 30-year Treasury yields and a modest decline in credit spreads according to the Barclays Capital Long Credit Index.

The decline in interest rates had a negative impact on the liabilities of our clients’ pension plans, which are estimated to have increased 7.2% in the quarter and 17.1% for year. Clients who have implemented LDI strategies have most likely seen gains during the quarter from their long-duration assets but the funded status of most pension plans has likely declined in the quarter. How-ever, this primarily impacts economic and accounting results rather than IRS contribution determinations due to the various legis-lative funding relief acts (MAP-21, HATFA, and the BBA of 2013 and 2015) that allow for higher discount rates to be utilized.

Hedge Funds The second quarter began on a positive note as distressed oriented and activist strategies recovered losses following a difficult first quarter. However, the shock of the Brexit vote at the end of quarter resulted in turmoil across many sub-strategies. Among the major sub-strategies, credit-linked approaches led the way in positive performance. Credit strategies broadly benefited from tightening high yield spreads associated with lower credit quality sectors. Structured credit continued to perform well in the sec-ond quarter as mortgage-backed and consumer-backed securities produced positive returns. Event-Driven strategies produced mixed result for the quarter. The early gains in merger arbitrage were muted by volatility surrounding the Brexit vote but the recent uptick in merger and acquisition activity is likely to be a positive tailwind. Results for macro strategies were also mixed as

some trend strategies struggled with the sharp market movements. In the equity space, volatile price reversals within industries continue to pose challenges for long-short equity. However, yield related equity sectors per-formed well benefiting some long biased strategies.

Private Markets Global private buyout deal value was $88 billion, more than twice of what was transacted in the first quarter. Exit volume also increased over the first quarter but totals for 2016 are down nearly 33% from the prior year period as IPO activity continues to be subdued. The private debt space remains attractive as direct lending spreads have increased across the capital structure in 2016. The increase in credit spreads is partially attribut-ed to Business Development Companies (“BDCs”) exit-ing the lending market due to significant stock under-performance. NEPC continues to advocate allocations to direct lending and for investors to embrace the il-liquidity premium in private credit strategies.

In real assets, we are positive on energy, negative on timber, and neutral on agriculture, infrastructure, and metals and mining. NEPC continues to evaluate energy-

related investment opportunities, although the stress on company balance sheets has alleviated as commodity prices have rallied off their lows. Our highest conviction remains in private equity, as these managers appear best-equipped to invest and manage assets amidst a volatile commodity recovery.

In real estate, we remain neutral on US private core real estate and REITS. While valuations in primary markets are well above past peak levels, fundamentals are strong and pricing remains attractive on a relative basis to US Treasuries. We are positive on value-add and opportunistic real estate and believe select European strategies remain attractive. For non-core real estate in the US, we favor cash flow-driven, niche-focused managers who are disciplined and attentive to the current stage of the expansion.

Final Thoughts As witnessed in the second quarter, political risk does not simply reside in the ether but at times can have a profound and vola-tile influence on financial markets. NEPC firmly believes a risk-aware and diversified portfolio best serves investors’ ability to weather such events and a multitude of economic environments over the long term. Even so, a risk balanced portfolio is a start-ing point and we encourage investors to trim assets that have recently outperformed expectations, such as US equities and de-veloped market government bonds. Furthermore, we recommend investors continue to overweight non-US developed market equities as risk premia remain elevated. Additionally, a risk balanced approach is the foundation of our investment philosophy; to this end, we recommend investors maintain an appropriate level of US duration exposure with a strong bias towards TIPS over nominal government bonds.

Market Thoughts & Education

8

Exhibit 11

• US economic cycle and US central bank policy are at the forefront ofmajor cyclical and secular forces informing our Assumptions and Actions

– These factors interact to create a supportive environment for risk assets in the near termbut ultimately push long term capital market forecasts lower relative to history

• The US economy is nearly 7 years removed from the previous recessionbut the health of US consumers can extend the expansion

– Prolonged US economic cycle has the potential to push the US dollar higher

• Persistent US Dollar strength tightens global monetary conditions andmaterially weakens the US corporate earnings profile

– A strong dollar strains international borrowers with dollar based debt– Outsized credit growth in Asia, specifically China, at risk from a stronger US dollar

• Influence of central bank policies in the developed world remain broadlysupportive for risk assets but come with long term effects

– US policy is slowly diverging from Europe and Japan but gradual expected pace of hikesprovides a positive backdrop for US equities and credit in the near term

– Extraordinary central bank measures from Europe and Japan continue to expand andsupport a strong bias to equities in these markets

Key Themes and Background

9

Exhibit 11

• US economic expansion continues as Federal Reserve begins policy shift– Economic conditions and health of US consumers remain supportive for growth– US Corporate earnings quality has weakened under pressure from profit margin declines

• Central Banks continue to dictate the global investment outlook– Subdued market expectation of Fed action over next 36 months; a surprise Fed rate

increase poses risk to both US equities and interest rates– ECB and BoJ likely to maintain and expand accommodative monetary policies– Easing in China is broadly stimulative in the near term but currency policy is unpredictable

• Rise of political populism fuels equity and currency market uncertainty– Populist movements are destabilizing for the established political and economic order

posing a risk for the cohesion of the European Union and global trade relationships– However, elevated risk offers an opportunity should market sentiment be overly pessimistic

• Large currency adjustments across most emerging countries haveprovided a foundation to support improved capital market returns

– Continued political and economic reform is needed across EM to stimulate economic growth– Chinese Yuan (RMB) depreciation has been incremental relative to other EM FX adjustments

and fears of further adjustment remain an over-hanging concern

• Embrace illiquidity in opportunistic credit and private credit strategies– Stressed credit liquidity magnifies the scale of price movements in traditional credit assets– Credit markets ability to absorb an exodus from crowded positions is challenged

Capital Market Observations

10

Exhibit 11

• Trim US equity exposure as US markets have rebounded significantly– Remain disciplined and look for rebalancing opportunities should equity markets decline– Look to capture pockets of value in US high yield with credit spreads in-line with averages

• Maintain overweight exposure to non-US developed market equities– Central bank support and dollar strength provide a positive economic backdrop– A more dramatic expansion of political risk may soften our overweight view– Small-cap equity and global equity are preferred implementation approaches

• These strategies offer the best opportunity to exploit valuation discrepancies among individualstocks that may result from elevated volatility levels

• Recommend investors continue to hedge developed market currencies– 50% hedge ratio remains an ideal neutral point for developed currency exposure– Current US dollar valuation hovers within a neutral band, opportunities to tactically adjust

currency hedge ratios may arise should the US dollar significantly strengthen or weaken

• Recent strength validates commitment to emerging market equities– Valuations and long-term fundamentals suggest an overweight– China uncertainty, dollar pressure and idiosyncratic country risks temper excitement– Overweight small-cap and consumer focused strategies relative to broad mandates

• Developed market duration exposure is generally unattractive– Preserve US duration exposure with a bias towards TIPS over core bonds– Rebalance long treasuries, long credit, and risk parity following recent outsized gains– Look to eliminate WGBI focused global bond strategies with yields at historic lows

• Appropriation Summary – Fiscal year to date state appropriations received were $1.37

billion or 85.6% of the total FYE 2016 amount, as of June 30, 2016. An additional $141.3 million was received in July and the fiscal year ending 2016 appropriation was paid in full as of August 26, 2016.

• Liquidity – The portfolio remains highly liquid with 82% of assets estimated to have

liquidity of less than two weeks under normal market conditions.

Global Financial Stress Index

Global Financial Stress Index (GFSI) Chart – The GFSI composite index aggregates over twenty measures of stress across five asset classes and various geographies, measuring three separate kinds of financial market stress: risk, as indicated by cross-asset measures of volatility, solvency, and liquidity; hedging demand, implied by the skew of equity and currency options; and investor appetite for risk, as measured by trading volumes as well as flows in and out of equities, high-yield bonds, and money markets. GFSI > 0 means more stress than normal. GFSI < 0 means less stress than normal. Date source: Bloomberg.

Standard deviation measures the variability of investment returns. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be

very close to the mean, while high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values. The

expected standard deviation of the SURS portfolio based on the target asset allocation is 12.5%. Data Sources: SURS and NEPC.

CBOE Volatility Index

Volatility Index (VIX) Chart – VIX is the ticker symbol for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index, which shows the market's expectation of 30-day volatility. It is constructed using the implied volatilities of a wide range of S&P 500 index options. This volatility is meant to be forward looking and is calculated from both calls and puts. The VIX is a widely used measure of market risk and is often referred to as the "investor fear gauge." Source: CBOE.com.

Treasury Yield Curve

A yield curve is a line that plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates. The U.S. Treasury yield curve is used as a benchmark for other debt in the market, such as mortgage rates or bank lending rates. The curve is also used to predict changes in economic output and growth. A normal yield curve is one in which longer maturity bonds have a higher yield compared to shorter-term bonds due to the risks associated with time. An inverted yield curve is one in which the shorter-term yields are higher than the longer-term yields, which can be a sign of upcoming recession. A flat (or humped) yield curve is one in which the shorter- and longer-term yields are very close to each other, which is also a predictor of an economic transition. The slope of the yield curve is also seen as important: the greater the slope, the greater the gap between short- and long-term rates. Source: Investopedia.com
