PERFORMANCE SUMMARY PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
General Market & Economic Conditions Record high oil prices, declining home sales and a deepening credit crunch contributed to one of the worst quarters this decade for equity markets, both at home and abroad. In March, the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index fell to a five-year low to 64.5 from 76.4. The Dow (-7.0%), NASDAQ (-13.9%) and S&P 500 (-9.4%) ended the quarter down. The broad benchmark S&P 500 has been in the red for five consecutive months, its longest losing streak dating back to October 1990. Each of the 10 economic sectors within the S&P 500 declined over the three-month period. The S&P 500 Index was hindered by its higher exposure to Financials, which were hit hard in the quarter, in particular by the near collapse of Bear Stearns. During the quarter, value (S&P 500 Citi Value: -8.9%) beat growth (S&P 500 Citi Growth: -9.9%) and large cap stocks (S&P 500: -9.4%) edged its smaller counterparts (Russell 2000: -9.9%). Overseas equity markets were even more volatile, punctuated by sharp declines in January, gains in February and modest losses in March. For the first quarter, both developed (MSCI EAFE: -8.9%) and emerging markets (MSCI Emerging: -10.9%) declined. From a country perspective, losses in the developed markets were led by Hong Kong (-19%), while India (-27%) and China (-24%) were among the biggest decliners in the emerging markets region. For the fifth consecutive quarter, EAFE Growth (-8.2%) surpassed EAFE Value (-9.7%). However, value (-9.3%) trumped growth (-12.5%) within emerging markets. The flight to quality and aggressive Fed action propped up the higher quality portion of the domestic fixed income market, with a 2.2% rise for the broad Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. Jittery investors flocked to Treasurys (+4.4%), which had its best quarterly return since the third quarter of 2002. Mortgage-backed securities (+2.4%) were impacted by the slump in U.S. housing prices. Corporate bonds (+0.4%) were the worst performing fixed income sector in the first quarter. The Federal Reserve cut the fed funds target rate by a full 2%, from 4.25% to 2.25%, during the three month period — the most aggressive quarterly reduction in the short-term rate in a quarter century. Private real estate has finally begun to reflect the shifts in capital markets. The NCREIF Open-Ended Diversified Core Equity Index advanced 1.4% for the quarter, of which 1.2% was income and a mere 0.2% appreciation. There was a notable dispersion in manager performance among the investors that make up this fund index, where numerous managers are outperforming and underperformed the quarterly index value meaningfully. The NCREIF Property Index came in higher at 1.6%. Because this index does not have annual appraisal requirements, its performance tends to lag the current market environment. The strongest property type and the only sector with meaningful appreciation was Office (+2.0%). On a regional basis, the South (+2.1%) was a surprise as the leading performer, supported by Houston (+5.9%) and Nashville (+2.1%).

Asset Allocation As of quarter end, the assets of the Fund were valued at $4,698 million. This represents a decrease from the December 31, 2007 value of $5,048 million. Approximately $64 million was paid out during the quarter. In addition, the Fund experienced a net investment loss of about $293 million due to the combination of income and realized and unrealized gains/losses. The Fund ended the quarter closely tracking its long-term strategic target of 38% Domestic Equity, 17% International Equity, 30% Domestic Bonds, 4% International Bonds, and 11% Real Estate. Total Fund Performance SDCERS’ first quarter return of -5.8% followed a slightly negative fourth quarter return of -0.6% (excluding private real estate, whose valuations are lagged one quarter) and was behind the Total Fund Benchmark’s -3.9% return. For the one year ended March, the System was down -0.8%, lagging the total fund benchmark return of +1.0% and ranking in the 75th percentile of the public fund universe. The fourth quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2008 were particularly difficult given the financial market crisis brought on by problems in subprime mortgages and the weak housing market. Equities in general, and small cap in particular, suffered. International equity, which had been a bright spot in the portfolio, contributed to the negative absolute and relative return in the first quarter. Longer-term results for the System are very strong relative to the benchmark, the public fund universe, and the long-term actuarial return target of 8.0%. The System ranks in the top decile of the public fund universe for the ten-year period ended 3/31/08 while outperforming the benchmark. For the trailing ten years ended March 2008, the Fund returned +8.0% on an annualized basis, which ranks in the 4th percentile of the public fund universe and exceeds the total fund benchmark by approximately 1.0% on an annualized basis. The System’s volatility in returns over all of this period has been similar to the public fund median, the result of which has created excellent risk-adjusted returns as well. Domestic Equity SDCERS’ domestic equity portfolio declined on an absolute and relative basis. During the quarter ended March, the portfolio returned -11.1%, underperforming the benchmark return of -9.4% and ranking 96th percentile in the public fund universe. In an unusual quarter, underperformance was widespread as only three of the domestic equity managers succeeded in beating their respective benchmarks – Delta large cap core, TCW mid cap core value and DFA small cap value. For the trailing five years ended March 2008, in what has been a dynamic environment for the US stock markets, the domestic equity portfolio exceeded its benchmark by 1.6% per annum and ranks in the 12th percentile of the public fund universe. For the trailing ten-year period, the portfolio has compounded at +6.3% on an annualized basis (ranking 12th percentile). International Equity International equity markets experienced a negative quarter as the problems in the U.S. began to affect the rest of the world. The MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. was down -9.1% for the quarter with emerging markets down over -11%. Developed markets returned -8.9%. The System’s international equity composite lagged the total international benchmark with a return of -10.3% ranking 98th percentile versus the public fund universe for the period. All but one (GMO small cap value) of the international equity managers underperformed their respective benchmarks. Brandes lagged the index by 2.6% ranking 95th percentile as holdings in telecom services and commercial banks detracted from performance. McKinley likewise lagged the index, underperforming by 1.5%. GlobeFlex and GMO both struggled in what was a
Page 2 of 5
difficult market for small caps globally. For the trailing year, the international portfolio returned -4.5% (underperforming the target benchmark) as the last three quarters were very difficult for the global equity markets. Longer-term results for the international equity portfolio for periods measured are strong relative to the benchmark and peer universe. The portfolio ranks in the top quartile of the public fund universe over the trailing five-year period. For the trailing ten-year period, the portfolio has compounded at an impressive +10.6%, outperforming its benchmark by 2.4% per annum and ranking in the top decile versus other public funds. Domestic Fixed Income Spreads continued to widen in all sectors as investors rushed to the safety of US Treasury securities. Liquidity concerns led the Federal Reserve to lower the fed funds rate by 200 basis points including a surprise 75 basis point reduction prior to the regularly scheduled FOMC meeting on January 30. The yield curve steepened as 2-year yields declined 147 basis points. The overall domestic fixed income portfolio posted a -0.6% return, underperforming the blended benchmark of 1.6% for the period and ranking in the 93rd percentile of the public fund universe. PIMCO had a terrific quarter and year ending March returning 3.1% (5th percentile) and 10.9% (4th percentile) respectively. MetWest also managed to avoid many of the securities that were hardest hit posting a return of 1.2% (29th percentile) for the quarter. The market neutral equity program was a negative contributor for the quarter with Pyramis, Salus and SSI down 8.0%, 3.0% and 1.6% respectively. The convertibles portfolio managed by Nicholas Applegate detracted as well with a return of -5.5%. The total fixed income portfolio’s return of +7.2% (compared to +7.7% for the Lehman Aggregate) over the trailing year is 0.3% greater than the benchmark and ranks in the 31st percentile of the public fund universe. Performance for the trailing three and five year periods has met objectives, outperforming both the Lehman Aggregate and the blended benchmark. Additionally, the risk-adjusted performance for the portfolio remains very attractive. For the trailing ten year period ended March 2008, the portfolio has compounded annually at +6.3%, placing in the 17th percentile of the public plan universe while experiencing considerably less volatility in return than the benchmark and the median public plan. International Fixed Income The international fixed income portfolio is managed by Rogge International. On April 14, Rogge announced that they are acquiring the high yield division of ING Ghent. We expect this acquisition will deepen Rogge’s credit research capabilities. Turmoil continued in the global financial markets in the first quarter. The dollar continued its fall against the Euro and Yen contributing to strong USD based returns. The Citi Non-US Government Bond Index rose 10.9% during the quarter. Rogge’s portfolio returned a strong absolute return of 10.2%, but underperformed the index placing them 76th percentile against peers. Results for the last year lag the benchmark by 2.0% and ranked 65th percentile. Longer-term results for Rogge since inception are favorable compared to the index and place the portfolio above median of the non-US fixed income peer group. Also worth noting, SDCERS’ non-U.S. bond portfolio has generated a meaningful premium over U.S. bonds over the past five year period, mainly fueled by a weakening U.S. dollar as well as the strong contributions from the emerging market debt sector. Real Estate Given data timing issues, the returns on the private real estate assets of SDCERS are lagged one quarter. Through December, the long-term returns on the real estate portfolio have been strong. The overall real estate portfolio remains one of the best performing asset class for SDCERS for the trailing five years, returning 19.2% annualized over this period. This has been driven to a large extent by SDCERS’ public real estate portfolio, which has returned 20.7% per annum for the five years ended March.

Comments on Watch List Managers TCW Large Cap Growth – SDCERS Staff and Callan met at TCW’s offices in Los Angeles with Craig Blum, portfolio manager, on March 14. It was announced during the first quarter that Scott Burlingame was leaving the firm and that Craig was named the sole portfolio manager. Performance improved in 2007 but fell back in the first quarter. For the year ended March, the portfolio returned 0.0% vs. the -0.8% for the Russell 1000 Growth and ranked 49th percentile. With the exception of the trailing three-year period, the portfolio is outperforming the index over longer time periods. TCW’s concentrated portfolio of 25-30 stocks and lower turnover approach tends to produce a volatile return pattern over time. Since their inception for SDCERS, the portfolio has added significant value over the Russell 1000 Growth Index and ranks in the top quartile of the large growth style. This said, we are concerned about the amount of personnel turnover at TCW. Burlingame’s departure is the second significant change to the portfolio management of the strategy in the past three years (Former lead PM Glenn Bickerstaff relinquished day to day management approximately three years ago but remains a vice chairman at TCW). This strategy needs to be monitored very closely over the next 12 months. TCW Mid Cap Core Value – On March 27, TCW announced that co-portfolio manager, Nick Gallucio was leaving the firm at the end of June 2008 to join Gabelli Associates. Gallucio has been with TCW since the early 1980’s and helped lead the strategy with Susan Suvall, SDCERS’ lead portfolio manager. While Nick’s portfolio management and research responsibilities are being assumed by others on the team, his departure is significant. The portfolio has performed admirably on a relative basis year-to-date, returning -5.7% and ranking in the 13th percentile of the mid cap value style group, almost 3% above the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. However, since inception returns fall short of the index and style median in what has been a remarkable period for returns within the asset class. We believe this relative underperformance is more the result of their investment style being out-of-favor than any particular issues at the firm. Long-term results for the strategy remain very strong. As mentioned above, we are concerned with the continued turnover at TCW and the implications of Nick’s departure. As with the large cap growth strategy, the mid cap value strategy needs to be monitored very closely in the coming months. Further personnel departures from the team could necessitate a change for SDCERS. Putnam Small Cap Value – The Putnam small cap value product is on watch for performance. The portfolio was down -8.5% (85th percentile) and -23.7% (93rd percentile) for the quarter and year respectively. Since inception the portfolio lags the benchmark and ranks 78th percentile. After an on-site visit to Putnam’s Boston offices last month, Staff has begun the process to identify other candidates as potential replacements to Putnam for this assignment. We are comfortable with this decision and will support the search effort to the extent needed. GMO International Small Cap Value - On March 4, GMO announced that lead portfolio manager, Ann Spruill, would be leaving the firm effective June 30, 2008. Richard Mattione, who joined in 1994, will assume strategy leadership. Spruill’s country responsibilities will be assumed by existing portfolio managers. New hires will be considered, although a direct replacement for Spruill is not expected. Her country coverages have been assumed by other members of the portfolio management team. The departure of Ann Spruill is a significant event. Our concerns are somewhat mitigated by the depth and experience of the remaining team. Although decision making is the responsibility of individual country portfolio managers, all decisions are discussed throughout the team for cross-boarder considerations on a global sector basis. Additionally, many countries within Spruill’s coverage reside in regions covered by others, with the exception of Eastern Europe. It is our opinion that the strategy be retained with ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the transition of country coverage and performance.

SSI Market Neutral Equity – The first quarter was difficult for market neutral managers due to extreme equity market volatility. SSI’s performance for the quarter was under the target benchmark of 90 day T-Bills + 3% and ranked 89th percentile against its market neutral peers. It was the best performing of SDCERS’ market neutral managers for the quarter. However, SSI’s return since their inception falls well short of the benchmark and ranks in the bottom quartile of the style group. As we have discussed previously, we encourage SDCERS to identify potential candidates to replace SSI for this assignment. The Board may want to wait until the broader market neutral equity program is discussed in greater detail in the coming months. Summary and Conclusions It was an extremely difficult quarter for active managers given the volatility in the equity markets and the liquidity crisis in the fixed income markets. The Fund struggled as many of its historically strong performing managers found these markets to disfavor their processes. Despite the performance difficulties over the past few quarters, we do not believe any material changes to SDCERS strategic long-term plan need to be revised or revisited. We do have some concern with some of the equity strategies, as described in the sections above, and will closely monitor developments. The annualized return on the overall portfolio for the trailing three, five, and ten-year periods remains in excess of the long-term actuarial expected return target of 8.0%, the total fund benchmark, and the median public plan. Equally important, SDCERS risk over this period has been comparable to its long-term benchmark, the result being very strong risk-adjusted returns over longer-term periods measured. As always, we greatly appreciate our relationship with SDCERS. Please do not hesitate either of us if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you at the May meeting to discuss these results in greater detail. Best Regards,
Janet Becker-Wold, CFA James A. Callahan, CFA Dated: May 6, 2008

Recession Without a Decline? | U.S. ECONOMYGDP rose by 0.6%, matching the fourth quarter’s rate of growth.
Consumer sentiment in March dropped to the lowest reading
since March 1982. The current slowdown will likely be termed a
recession even though we may not meet the rule of thumb often
used by the entity empowered to brandish the “R” word—a
decline in real GDP for two consecutive quarters. see page 16
Dark Cloud Seeks Silver Lining | U.S. EQUITYDespite a strong push from the Federal Reserve, U.S. equity
markets were down across the board. The broad Russell 3000
dropped 9.5%, with all 10 sectors in the red. Based upon the
Russell style indices, value-oriented stocks topped growth-
oriented stocks across all capitalization ranges. see page 1
All Bond Out of Shape | U.S. FIXEDThe debt markets seized up and liquidity vanished in the first
quarter from a litany of negative news. Spread sectors were
decimated over the three-month period. The Lehman Treasury
Index advanced 4.43% as rates fell in a continued flight to
quality. The broad U.S. investment grade bond market, as
measured by the Lehman Aggregate, climbed 2.17%. see page 4
Real Estate Decelerates | REAL ESTATEDespite increased volatility during the quarter, the U.S. real estate
securities markets bounced back at the end of the first quarter
(+1.40). Self Storage (+20.23%) and Residential (+11.20%)
posted sizable gains. Private real estate has finally begun to
reflect the shifts in capital markets, with the NCREIF Open-
Ended Diversified Core Equity Index advancing 1.35%.
see page 12
De-Coupling Debunked | NON-U.S. EQUITYHindered by lingering credit concerns and the spillover effects
from an apparent economic slowdown, the MSCI EAFE Index
declined 8.91% in the first quarter. Nearly all developed equity
markets dropped. Countries dependent on exporting goods to
the United States, such as Japan, Germany and China, all
suffered as the American consumer shied away from imports.
see page 7
Inflation vs. Recession… Stagflation? | NON-U.S. FIXEDGlobal bond yields were driven lower over concerns of a U.S.-led
recession; the U.S. dollar depreciated against major currencies.
For the quarter, the Citi Non-U.S. World Government Bond
Index rose by 1.97% in local terms and 10.93% in U.S. dollar
terms. The JPMorgan EMBI Global Bond Index gained 0.63%
in absolute terms. see page 10
What a Difference a Year Makes | PRIVATE EQUITYFundraising totaled $51.6 billion in commitments and 68 new
funds in the first quarter of 2008. Mezzanine led the pack by
virtue of a single fund. Both exit and venture-backed merger
activity slowed during the quarter. Buyouts substantially
decreased. see page 14
Credit Crunch Squeezes Hedge Funds | HEDGE FUNDSGiven the liquidity crisis in the financial markets, the median
manager in the Callan Hedge Fund-of-Funds Database
dropped 3.20% last quarter, net of fees. Those with more
exposure to equity markets or levered strategies slumped even
further. see page 15
Pessimism Prevails | DIVERSIFIED ACCOUNTSIn the first quarter, median public (-5.31%) and Taft-Hartley
(-4.81%) plans outperformed. Corporate plans and
endowments/foundations were not far behind, losing
5.74% and 5.89%, respectively. Both domestic (-5.42%) and
global balanced managers (-6.22%) lagged their static 60%

DARK CLOUD SEEKS SILVER LINING
It can be a struggle to see anything positive in the
current mix of dismal economic milestones—gold
spiking up over $1,000 per ounce, oil at more than
$100 per barrel and the euro eclipsing $1.55.
Housing prices are also falling at a double-digit annu-
al rate (S&P/Case Shiller), job growth is turning neg-
ative, and the consumer is souring on the economy.
The good news: markets are much less expensive
and investors are beginning to take a serious look at
the opportunities that the sell-off has provided. Not
much of a silver lining, but it is all we have.
Despite a strong push from the Federal Reserve, U.S.
equity markets were down across the board. Both
the Russell 3000 and its large capitalization sub-
component, the Russell 1000, fell 9.5%. The small
cap Russell 2000 declined 9.9% compared to a loss
of 9.4% for the large cap S&P 500.
Results were negative across all Russell 3000 sec-
tors, with four sectors posting double-digit declines.
Technology (-15.2%) dipped, as both Software &
Services (-17.0%) and Hardware (-12.8%) sank.
Software & Services was hurt by poor results from
Google (-36.3%) and Microsoft (-20.0%), while
Hardware saw declines from Apple (-27.6%) and Dell
(-18.7%).
Telecommunications (-14.7%) fell due to poor growth
reported by bellwethers AT&T (-6.9%) and Verizon
(-15.7%). The wireless (-31.0%) segment also slowed.
Financials (-12.6%) took another hit from the sub-
prime contagion and near collapse of Bear Stearns
(-88.1%). Punished by Fannie Mae (-33.5%) and
Freddie Mac (-24.8%), the mortgage industry sank
19.4%. Led by Citi (-26.4%), large banks also
plunged. Residential REITs emerged as a bright spot,
gaining 11.3%.
Health Care (-11.4%) was split. Mega-cap pharma-
ceuticals such as Merck (-34.1%) declined, but
biotechnology climbed on strong earnings from DNA
pioneer Genentech (+21.0%) and Celgene (+32.6%),
a maker of cancer treatment drugs.

U.S. EQUITY | Bob Shaw, CFA
All segments of the Utilities (-9.8%) sector were in the
red. Electric Utilities and Independents were down
8.1% and 12.5%, respectively. Multi-line Utilities lost
13.8%.
A slowdown in consumer spending negatively
impacted Consumer Discretionary (-8.0%).
Household Durables decreased 6.1% despite a
surge in Homebuilding (+15.8%). Weak demand con-
tinued to plague the Automotive sector (-11.2%).
Energy (-6.3%) declined as downstream concerns
(refining and marketing) hindered the large integrated
companies such as Exxon (-9.4%), Chevron (-7.9%)
and ConocoPhillips (-13.2%).
Due in part to a string of bankruptcy filings from the
Airlines (-21.1%) sector, Industrials (-5.4%) lost
ground. The counterpunch was in Rails (+10.4%) and
Airfreight (+3.5%) which are benefiting from the ener-
gy surcharges.
Helped by the recent commodities boom, Materials
(-3.3%) held its own. Metals & Mining slipped
0.6%, with Steel stocks (+5.6%) rising, but both
Aluminum (-0.1%) and Gold (-6.7%) companies
reversing course. Hurt by falling demand for com-
mercial and residential construction, Construction
Materials shed 14.3%.
With the economy slowing, Consumer Staples
(-2.6%) was the best performing sector. Large scale
super centers such as Wal-Mart (+11.4%) did well,
while Tobacco (-3.1%) and Beverages (-3.8%) fell.

Based upon the Russell style indices, value-oriented
stocks topped growth-oriented stocks across all
capitalization ranges. To compare growth and value,
Russell divides the capitalization indices to create
subsectors of growth- and value-oriented stocks.
Among smaller stocks, the Russell 2000 Small CapGrowth Index fell 12.8%, compared to a decline of
6.5% for its value counterpart. In the large stock
arena, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (-10.2%)
lagged the Russell 1000 Value Index (-8.7%).
4 | Capital Market Review • First Quarter 2008
ALL BOND OUT OF SHAPE
The debt markets seized with liquidity vanishing in
the first quarter due to a litany of negative news. The
uncharted territory forced the Fed to aggressively
forgo its normal decision-making timetable. The lack
of liquidity caused extreme dislocation in the fixed
income market. Spread sectors were decimated over
the three-month period. The Lehman TreasuryIndex advanced 4.43% as rates fell in a continued
flight to quality. The broad U.S. investment grade
bond market, as measured by the LehmanAggregate, climbed 2.17%.
The financial markets faced unprecedented stress
during the quarter. As asset values tumbled in the
first quarter, many levered financial firms became
forced sellers as margin calls were triggered. This
created a vicious cycle of downward pressure on
prices and headline news. Throughout much of 2007
the Federal Reserve had been judicious of the sim-
mering banking problems but during the first quarter
was forced to be creative. The Fed unexpectedly cut
rates by 75 basis points on January 22, followed by
expected cuts during the next two meetings on
January 30 and March 18 of 50 and 75 basis points,
respectively. Since August 2007, the Fed has lowered
the fed funds rate 300 basis points to 2.25%, with
200 during the first quarter of 2008. Much of the eas-
ing by the Fed was expected; however, the continued
lack of liquidity caused concern. On March 14, with
major primary dealer Bear Stearns facing insolvency,
the Fed stepped in to find a solution, which resulted
in the sale of Bear Stearns to JPMorgan Chase. The
Fed’s decision to not allow the firm to fail has helped
rebuild confidence and, in turn, restore some liquidi-
ty to the market.
Similar to last quarter, the overwhelming angst afflict-
ing the fixed income market hit structured securities
the hardest. The contributors to the negative excess
return relative to Treasurys were technical imbalance,

lack of liquidity and increased volatility. The technical
imbalance caused commercial mortgage-backed
securities (CMBS) to underperform duration adjusted
Treasurys by 777 basis points. The weak housing
market and subprime contagion forced asset-backed
securities (ABS) to lag duration-adjusted Treasurys
by 594 basis points and caused the Lehman MBSIndex to underperform as well, albeit by a muted 77
basis points. Home equity ABS was the worst per-
forming subsector, returning a negative 1,682 basis
points of excess return relative to duration-adjusted
securities.
Credit spreads widened considerably during the first
quarter on a multitude of negative economic news,
poor earning announcements, higher financing costs
and the troubled monoline insurance market.
Investment grade credit spreads widened to 275
basis points, generating a negative excess return of
427 basis points versus like-duration Treasurys. On
an absolute base, investment grade corporates
advanced 0.43%, as measured by the LehmanCredit Index. Weighed down by fears of recession
and the near collapse of Bear Stearns, the high yield
market produced a negative 781 basis points of
excess return. For the quarter, the Lehman HighYield Index fell 3.02%.

DE-COUPLING DEBUNKED
NON-U.S. EQUITY | Lin Fitzenhagen, CFA
Hindered by lingering credit concerns and the
spillover effects from an apparent economic slow-
down, the MSCI EAFE Index declined 8.91% in the
first quarter. As proof that global markets are indeed
linked together, nearly all developed equity markets
dropped, with the exception of Denmark. Countries
dependent on exporting goods to the United States,
such as Japan, Germany and China, all suffered as
the American consumer shied away from imports.
Central banks made a concerted effort to plug the
leak in the dike, but a series of interest rate cuts and
liquidity infusions could not halt the contagion. The
MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index (-10.92%)—a
recent bright spot in the turbulent global markets—
finally capitulated and fell harder than its developed
counterparts. Fortunately, a weak U.S. dollar helped
cut some of the negative returns in countries where
foreign currencies remained strong, as in Japan,
where the yen is at its highest in more than a decade.
For the fifth consecutive quarter, EAFE Growth(-8.16%) beat EAFE Value (-9.66%). EAFE SmallCap (-6.24%) outpaced EAFE. While Greece
(-15.83%), Portugal (-13.16%) and Germany
(-11.75%) led developed Europe downward, Hong
Kong (-18.89%), Australia (-11.74%) and New
Zealand (-14.69%) managed to weigh heavily on the
developed Pacific.
Europe The MSCI Europe Index (-8.62%) fell sharply, but
slightly outpaced the broader EAFE Index. Financials
led the regional decline due to write-offs tied to sub-
prime investments and profit losses from major
European firms, such as UBS, Credit Suisse and
Deutsche Bank. France’s Société Générale endured
a trading scandal by a rogue employee, leading to
further discomfort with governance and risk controls
within large financial institutions. The Telecommuni-
cations and Technology sectors lost nearly 20% for
the quarter amid concerns of weaker consumer and
business investment. Vodafone, Infineon and
Ericsson all suffered. Other sectors like Materials,
Energy and Industrials fared no better, even though
commodity prices, driven by emerging market
demand, reached unprecedented levels. The
European Central Bank and the Bank of England dis-
played far more fiscal restraint than the U.S. Federal
Reserve during the quarter. The European Central
Bank held rates steady at 4.00%, while the Bank of
England made one minimal rate cut of a quarter-
point, to 5.25%.

8 | Capital Market Review • First Quarter 2008
AsiaThe MSCI Pacific Basin Index (-9.57%) trailed the
broader market in dollar terms. Although the yen
strengthened against the U.S. dollar, Japan
(-7.81%) continued to struggle with political instabil-
ity and a global growth slowdown, especially given
the Japanese export-reliant economy. Australia
(-11.74%) raised interest rates twice to levels not
seen in over a decade. Hong Kong (-18.89%) was the
worst performing country in the region this quarter,
roiled by the correction in the overheated Chinese
market. Just last quarter, Hong Kong outpaced the
entire region, stemming from the momentum created
when Chinese authorities decided to allow mainland
investors to trade on the Hang Seng. Across the
region, many firms in Technology (e.g., Sony and
Toshiba) and Financials (e.g., Mizuho Financial and
National Australia Bank) experienced a poor quarter,
providing further evidence that the subprime crisis,
credit crunch and economic slowdown were not geo-
graphically isolated events.
Emerging MarketsThe MSCI EMF Index came in last among the wide-
ly followed international indices in a volatile quarter.
The EMF Index was down in January, rebounded in
February and fell again in March. The BRIC heavy-
weights punished the Index, as Brazil (-5.00%),
Russia (-11.51%), India (-26.99%) and China
(-23.96%) all gave back some of their 2007 gains.
Two other emerging market stalwarts—South Korea
(-12.74%) and South Africa (-14.96%)—suffered
double-digit losses during the quarter. On a positive
note, Taiwan (+5.29%) and Mexico (+5.07%) posted
gains. Surprisingly, Pakistan (+11.36%) was the best
performing country in the emerging markets catego-
ry—intriguing, given that the country is emerging
from the shadows of political uncertainty following
Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s assassination in late
December 2007. Sectorwise within emerging mar-
kets, Materials fared the best benefiting from surging
commodity prices, while Information Technology and
Consumer Staples also suffered less than other
industries.

INFLATION VS. RECESSION… STAGFLATION?
During a tumultuous first quarter, global bond yields
were driven lower due to concerns of a U.S.-led
recession. Even though economic data deteriorated,
central banks in some commodity-rich countries
were forced to raise rates to combat inflationary pres-
sures. The Citi Non-U.S. World Government BondIndex rose by 1.97% in local terms and 10.93% in
U.S. dollar terms.
The U.S. dollar fell against more than most currencies
during the first quarter. The U.S. dollar depreciated
the most relative to the Japanese yen and the Swiss
franc, which had total returns of 12.24% and
14.47%, respectively. Both low-yielding countries
saw their currencies rise as the carry trades were
unwound in a flight to quality.
EuropeIn Europe, many of the central banks are torn
between the possibility of a recession and the threat
of rising inflation. High food and energy prices are
pushing the limits of what the European Central Bank
will tolerate concerning inflation. However, the
decline in asset values as banks deleveraged, cou-
pled with lower projected economic growth, weighed
heavily on the central bank. The ECB left rates
unchanged at 4.00%, while the Bank of England cut
rates by 25 basis points to 5.25%. Amid growing
concerns of a recession, the 10-year yield on the
German bund fell from 4.30% to 3.89%, and the 10-
year UK government bond fell from 4.50% to 4.34%.

concerns. New Zealand did not raise rates during the
quarter, but instead appeared hawkish on inflation.
New Zealand and Australia both face inflationary
pressures and a global slowdown which threaten to
hamper domestic growth.
AsiaFor the fourth consecutive quarter, the Bank of Japan
held its key rate steady at 0.5%—the lowest among
industrialized nations. Any economic momentum that
might have been gained was dampened by the con-
tinued turmoil surrounding Parliament and a lack of
conviction from consumers. The yield on the 10-year
Japanese bond fell 23 basis points, to end the quar-
ter at 1.28%.
Emerging MarketsThe spread widening that afflicted all fixed income
markets did not spare the emerging debt market.
However, absolute returns were still positive for the
quarter. Dollar-denominated emerging market debt,
as measured by the JPMorgan EMBI Global BondIndex, advanced 0.63%. Given the currency tailwind,
the local currency emerging debt posted a much bet-
ter return of 3.28%, as measured by the JPMorganGBI-EM Index.

REAL ESTATE DECELERATES
Commercial real estate took a beating in the media
and is often predicted to be the next disaster zone
within the capital markets, but there is little data or
evidence to support this doomsday scenario. Tighter
and more expensive lending costs, risk repricing and
softening demand segued into expected valuation
declines across the asset class. Generally, new sup-
ply was constrained due to heightened construction
costs and strong market transparency, which made
for a better fundamental balance. From the supply
perspective, the commercial real estate outlook is
not as grim as Wall Street might presume. Further,
rent rates are still healthy based on historical stan-
dards. Yet, transactions have come to a relative
standstill and cap rates are on the rise. According to
Real Capital Analytics, average cap rates increased
two basis points during the quarter, compared to a
15 basis point decrease over the same period last
year.
Wild volatility continued throughout the quarter in the
public real estate securities markets. However, the
U.S. real estate securities markets bounced back at
the end of the first quarter (+1.40%), thanks to a
major upswing in March. There was a notable uptick
in mutual fund inflows, potentially signaling perceived
value plays. Major REIT managers bought back
shares, indicating that they see relative value as well.
Self Storage wowed investors (+20.23%) during the
quarter. Other sizeable increases included
Residential (+11.20%) and Retail (+2.65%). Lodging
(-6.79%), Industrial (-4.79%) and Office (-4.04%)
were all in the red.
Global real estates securities, as measured by the
FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index,
were down 5.63% in the first quarter. The regional

ture between Asia (-16.35%), and a rebounding
North America (+0.56%) and Europe (+6.36%). Asia
underwent a major repricing during the quarter, com-
ing off of its highs over the past six months and los-
ing nearly 500 bps of market share within the FTSE
EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index. As such,
North America is once again the largest investable
region. European securities, down 1.3% in local cur-
rency, outperformed on the sentiment that the credit
crisis may not have as large an impact on the region
as anticipated. Globally, lower rental growth assump-
tions are filtering into future expectations. Whether
new “bottoms” will be seen on the real estate securi-
ties front is unknown.
Private real estate finally began to reflect the shifts in
capital markets. The NCREIF Open-Ended
Diversified Core Equity (ODCE) Index advanced
1.35% for the quarter, of which 1.18% was income
and a mere 0.17% was appreciation. There was a
noticeable dispersion in manager performance
among the investors that make up this fund index,
where numerous managers are outperforming and
underperforming the quarterly index value meaning-
fully. The NCREIF Property Index came in slightly
above the ODCE at 1.60%. Because this index does
not have annual appraisal requirements, its per-
formance tends to lag the current market environ-
ment. The strongest property type and the only sec-
tor with meaningful appreciation was Office (+1.96%)
driven by growth in demand, primarily in the South.
On a regional basis, the South (+2.14%) was a sur-
prise as the leading performer, supported by
Houston (+5.85%) and Nashville (+2.14%). The
weakest sector was the Midwest (+1.00%), which
suffered a 0.32% depreciation in value, demonstrat-
ing flatness in Chicago (+1.22%) and a negative
Detroit (-2.98%). In the detailed MSA data of the
NCREIF Property Index, numerous markets exhibited
depreciation, a sign of the changing environment.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES
Fundraising totaled $51.6 billion in commitments and
68 new funds in the first quarter of 2008. This is a
moderate increase versus the $44 billion and 66
funds that were raised in the first quarter of last year.
Mezzanine led the pack by virtue of the single $23.3
billion Goldman Sachs Mezzanine Partners V fund
raised quickly during the quarter. Without the
Goldman fund, the quarter total would look consider-
ably different. Buyouts substantially decreased
($16 billion) from the first quarter of last year. So far,
venture capital is only a single digit as a percentage
of the investment opportunity set.
Investments by funds into companies dropped dra-
matically in response to the difficult capital market
environment. According to Buyouts newsletter, buy-
out-sponsored acquisitions totaled $46 billion in 53
transactions with announced values. The total num-
ber of buyout deals closed was 226. By comparison,
the first quarter of 2007 saw $103 billion across 79
deals with announced values and total closings of
283 investments. The pipeline of expected future
closings and new deal announcements has also
dropped significantly. Most of the deals being trans-
acted are in the mid- to small-size range.
Exit activity slowed during the quarter. Thompson
Financial reports that only two buyout-backed com-
panies went public, raising $267 million, and five ven-
ture-backed companies had IPOs totaling $283 mil-
lion. Venture-backed merger activity slowed to 56
transactions valued at $2.5 billion, down from last
quarter’s 83 transactions and $8.4 billion.
What a difference a year makes. In the first quarter
2007 Capital Market Review, a new trend was report-
ed where several buyout funds were seeking to raise
their carried interest by 5%. While interest in private
equity is still high, those terms are no longer being
suggested.

Last quarter, sinking housing prices and soaring
commodity prices undermined the market’s confi-
dence in the consumer-dependent U.S. economy.
The S&P 500 fell 9.44%. Despite the Fed’s unusual
efforts to keep banks lending, counterparty risks
increased dramatically and credit spreads widened.
Reacting to these concerns, prime brokers increased
their hedge fund clients’ margin requirements or
curbed their credit lines. One particularly defining
moment for counterparty risk was the sudden col-
lapse of Bear Stearns in mid-March, creating
unprecedented stress for hedge funds.
Serving as a proxy for diversified hedge fund pro-
grams, the median manager in the Callan HedgeFund-of-Funds Database dropped 3.20% last quar-
ter, net of fees. Those with more exposure to equity
markets or levered strategies slumped even further.
Representing the unmanaged universe of open and
closed funds, the Credit Suisse/Tremont HedgeFund Index declined 2.01%, its biggest quarterly
drop since the second quarter of 2000. Among the
wounded this quarter was Fixed Income Arbitrage
(-6.78%), with much of the damage caused by
unwinding leverage occurring in March. Convertible
Arbitrage (-7.64%) suffered from not only unwinding
leverage but also widening credit spreads.
Amid falling equity markets, Short Bias rose 9.83%
while Long-Short Equity lost 4.10%. With highly dis-
cretionary bets on events, the Multi-Strategy Event-
Driven managers fell 3.89%, despite ongoing suc-
cess from opportunistic subprime trades. Distressed
managers lost 2.56%. As top-down oriented alloca-
tors of risk capital, Global Macro continued to build
on its success of prior quarters, gaining 6.88% last
quarter. Buffeted by a clear upswing in virtually all
commodities, Managed Futures (+10.42%) helped to
offset losses elsewhere in the hedge fund portfolio.

RECESSION WITHOUT A DECLINE?
Economic growth in the United States slowed to a
crawl in the fourth quarter of 2007, fueling a steep
drop in sentiment and sharpening the lookout for
signs that the recession must surely be upon us.
While the economic reports were generally down-
beat, the data were not universally bad, and surpris-
ingly the economy continued to expand modestly in
the first quarter. GDP rose by 0.6% in the first quar-
ter, matching the rate of growth in the fourth quarter
of 2007. The rule of thumb used to be that the reces-
sion label was applied only if GDP declined for two
consecutive quarters. The National Bureau of
Economic Research (NBER), the entity responsible
for dating business cycles and thereby empowered
to brandish the “R” word, applied the recession label
to the last economic slowdown in 2001, even though
we never actually saw one quarter of GDP decline, let
alone two in a row. The current slowdown will most
likely be termed a recession, even though we may
see, at most, one quarter of GDP decline.
In the first quarter of 2008, one of the sources of
growth—output in durable goods manufacturing—
suggests a GDP decline could occur during the sec-
ond quarter. Unexpected strength came from the
output in durable goods manufacturing. These gains,
however, did not satisfy an increase in demand, but
largely padded inventories. Higher inventories count
as a plus for GDP, whether they are wanted or not,
but their presence will dampen future production and
point to a correction in the second quarter. Actual
orders for durable goods fell slightly in March, pulled
down by a sharp (20%) drop in defense orders. The
Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported that
the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for March fell
below 50—the dividing line between expansion and
contraction—for the second consecutive month, rep-
resenting the weakest quarter, for the economy and
manufacturing, since the second quarter of 2003.
The ISM’s Non-Manufacturing Business Activity
Index reported its third straight month below 50 in
March, suggesting sustained contraction in econom-
ic activity.
In addition to real GDP, the NBER focuses on four
measures of monthly activity to help in its determina-
tion of business cycles: employment, personal
income, industrial production and real manufacturing
and trade sales. All four measures have declined
from peak values set in 2007. Employment
decreased during each of the first three months of
2008, albeit by relatively small amounts. Real income
reached a plateau in the third quarter of 2007 and
remained flat in the following two quarters. Industrial
production slowed sharply in the fourth quarter of
2007 and by March had returned to its July 2007
level. Finally, wholesale and retail trade peaked in
October 2007 and declined through the first quarter
of 2008. Collectively, the readings on these four
measures are not weak enough to make a definitive
recession call, but the pressure is mounting.
More bad economic news corroborated these four
measures including reports on housing and the
household sense of well-being. New home sales

dropped 8.5% in March, to the lowest level since
October 1991. Sales in the Northeast U.S. were
down an astounding 65% compared to one year ear-
lier, while the decline in the Midwest was 50%. The
inventory of new homes rose to 11 months in March,
up from 8.3 one year earlier, but this inventory is
ebbing much faster than in past recessions, suggest-
ing builders have responded quickly to the market.
Housing starts fell below one million to 947,000, off
37% from March 2007. For comparison, the long-
term equilibrium level of starts are estimated to be
around 1.5 million per year; during the housing boom
earlier in the decade, the U.S. routinely recorded
starts in excess of 1.8 million.
Consumer sentiment in March dropped to its lowest
reading since March 1982, fueled by mounting anxi-
ety over mortgage foreclosures, falling home prices,
rising food and energy costs and job losses. The
headlines surrounding the swift action by the Federal
Reserve to calm the financial markets in response to
the implosion of Bear Stearns, did nothing to bolster
consumer confidence. Interestingly, mildly positive
reports on unemployment and retail sales countered
both the onslaught of bad news and the plummeting
measure of consumer sentiment. Retail sales rose
slightly in March and non-automotive sales were up a
strong 3.3% year-over-year, countering the 3.2%
decline in auto sales. Higher gasoline prices certain-
ly boosted retail sales, but even non-gas sales were
up. The unemployment rate has inched up, but
remains below 5%, and the four-week average of ini-
tial claims for unemployment insurance has held
below 375,000, well short of the 400,000 level usual-
ly associated with recessions.

PESSIMISM PREVAILS
DIVERSIFIED ACCOUNTS | Lauren Etcheverry
The stock market experienced its worst quarterly
performance in over 20 years. Continued concerns
about a slowing economy, inflation and the crisis
within the financial markets led to a volatile and dis-
appointing January. However, the Fed stepped in
again and cut rates towards the end of the month.
Thus, the equity market was able to recoup some of
its early losses, but still fell short of its bond market
counterparts, both at home (Russell 3000: -9.52%
versus Lehman Aggregate: +2.17%) and abroad
(MSCI EAFE: -8.91% versus Citigroup Non-U.S.
World Government Bond: +10.93%). As a result,
those fund sponsors with greater fixed income expo-
sure surpassed their more aggressively invested
peers.
Using the median manager returns from the current
quarter and ending asset allocations from the prior
quarter, Callan estimates the recent total returns of
the institutional investor community.
The “Callan Style Group Returns” chart—illustrating
the range of returns for public, corporate and Taft-
Hartley pension plans, as well as endowments/foun-
dations—shows some of the worst quarterly losses
since 2002. The table on the following page com-
pares the returns of four types of institutional fund
sponsors to several benchmarks over longer time
periods. Despite the major asset classes dispersion
in returns, the range of fund sponsor returns was nar-
row. The median public (-5.31%) and Taft-Hartley
(-4.81%) plans led their institutional counterparts,
with average public equity allocations of 60% and
55%, respectively. Corporate plans and endow-
ments/foundations were not far behind, losing 5.74%
and 5.89%, respectively.
The asset allocation percentages changed only
slightly from the previous quarter, to the benefit of
those groups that stayed heavy in fixed income—
public, corporate and Taft-Hartley plans. More
specifically, public and Taft-Hartley plans’ slightly
higher allocation to non-U.S. fixed income—the high-

est performing asset class over the quarter—may
have played a role in their overall outperformance as
compared to corporates and endowments/founda-
tions. Allocation to more aggressive asset classes, as
compared to other groups, has not rewarded endow-
ment/foundation median returns, as they have been
the lowest performing group for the last three quar-
ters in a row.
Callan’s balanced manager groups generally main-
tain well-diversified portfolios and attempt to add
value by underweighting or overweighting asset
classes, as well as through security selection. In the
recent quarter, both domestic (-5.42%) and global
balanced managers (-6.22%) lagged the static 60%
equity and 40% fixed income benchmarks, which
had returns of -4.84% and -2.78%, respectively.
Global balanced manager’s average allocation over
time has been overweight equity as compared to
their target. This overweight has helped historically,
but with fixed income’s outperformance in the first
quarter, the median global balanced manager fell
behind.

Quarterly Total Fund AttributionIn general, the actual return for the Total Fund will differ from the return for the
Total Fund Target. This deviation is caused by two factors: The managers outperformingor underperforming their targets (Manager Selection Effect); or the actual asset allocationbeing different from the target asset allocation (Asset Allocation Effect). The table andcharts below dissect the Total Fund return into smaller components to quantify each ofthese effects over the most recent quarter.

Cumulative Total Fund AttributionThe charts below accumulate the Quarterly Total Fund Attribution Analysis (shown
earlier) over multiple periods. By examining these cumulative results, the Fund Sponsorcan quantify and understand the long-term impact of asset allocation differences from thetarget, as well as the contribution of the Fund’s managers to total return. In general,assuming the Fund Sponsor is pursuing a disciplined rebalancing program, the assetallocation effects should be close to zero. The manager effects should be larger, assumingthe Sponsor is not using index funds. All analysis is for the period ended March 31, 2008.

DOMESTIC EQUITYActive Management Overview
Active vs the IndexTrends to increase liquidity in financial markets in the first quarter of 2008 included three federal fund rate cuts; a $168billion stimulus package; and the $29 billion bailout of Bear Stearns. Except for Small and Mid Cap Value, all medianstyle group funds fell below their benchmarks in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This underperformance rangedfrom 24 basis points for Large Cap Core to 697 basis points for Small Cap Growth. However, for the latest twelvemonths, all Large and Mid Cap funds (except Large Cap Value) outperformed their benchmarks while all Small Capfunds lagged their indexes.
Large Cap vs Small CapIn a quarter marred by fears of recession, concerns for inflation, a countrywide housing crisis and fallout from the creditmarket, investors continued to favor larger, more stable stocks. This resulted in the continued outperformance of largecapitalization stocks compared to their small cap peers. The median Small Cap Broad manager lost 10.61%, 315 basispoints more than the S&P 600’s loss of 7.46% and 93 basis points more than the median Large Cap Core fund. Themedian Mid Cap Broad manager lost 10.54%, 169 basis points more than the S&P Mid Cap’s loss of 8.85%. Themedian Large Cap Core manager fared better than both Mid Cap and Small Cap managers posting a loss of 9.68%, 24basis points more than the S&P 500’s loss of 9.44%. For the year ended March 31, 2008, Large Cap outperformed bothMid Cap and Small Cap across all styles.
Growth vs ValueLast quarter’s trend of preference for growth stocks ended this quarter, with the balance shifting towards value stocks.For the first quarter of 2008, the median Large Cap Growth fund lost 11.36%, 209 basis points more than the medianLarge Cap Value fund’s loss of 9.27%.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITYActive Management Overview
Active vs. the IndexIn the first quarter of 2008, equity markets all over the world experienced major losses. Turmoil in the financial sectorcontinued to plague developed nations, and emerging countries have tempered their growth expectations. The medianfund manager in the Pacific region underperformed its benchmark by 247 basis points for the quarter. EmergingMarkets beat its benchmark by 4 basis points for the quarter, -10.88% vs -10.92%, but trailed by 32 basis points for theyear. European and Core International managers fell into negative territory for the year ended March 31, 2008.
EuropeEurope’s economic slowdown is not merely a ripple from the U.S. sub-prime debacle, as internal issues have begun tosurface. The euro has acted as the primary outlet for a declining U.S. Dollar and the resulting appreciation has severelyimpacted export driven countries with weak domestic demand. Spain and France are suffering from the bursting oftheir own Real Estate bubbles, resulting in deteriorating consumer confidence. The median Europe fund lost 9.51% forthe quarter, compared to the MSCI Europe Index’s loss of 8.62%. For the latest twelve months, the median fund nowlags its index by 231 basis points.
PacificFor the three months ended March 31, 2008, the median Pacific fund lost 12.04%, and was the lowest performingregion. Asian countries have lowered growth expectations since the largest market for their exports, the United States,has experienced unprecedented currency devaluation. The median Japan Only fund was the best performing region,losing only 8.23%. For the year, Pacific Basin Funds lost 4.40% while Japan Only lagged all other styles with a loss of15.05%.
Emerging MarketsIn the fourth quarter of 2007, Emerging Markets experienced a "decoupling" effect, bucking the global trend with aquarterly gain on strong fundamentals. In the first quarter of 2008, credit spreads have widened and the IPO market hascome to a grinding halt. This quarter reinforced the notion of a truly global slowdown, with the median EmergingMarkets manager posting a quarterly loss of 10.88% on lowered expectations for growth and international consumption. The median Emerging Markets fund’s twelve month return was 21.33%, compared to a 21.65% return for the index.

INTERNATIONAL FIXED-INCOMEActive Management Overview
Active vs. the IndexTurmoil in the global financial markets continued unabated during the first quarter of 2008 and uncertainty remainshigh. Several European and Australian banks continued to run counter to the U.S. policy of easing interest rates.Volatility in the currency markets increased substantially over the quarter, with currencies considered to be safe havensreaping the benefits. The median Global Fixed-Income fund returned 9.04%, 0.62% less than the Citi WorldGovernment Index return of 9.66%. The median Non-U.S. Fixed-Income fund returned 10.64%, 29 basis points behindits benchmark return of 10.93%. For the year, median manager returns again fell behind their benchmarks, with GlobalFixed-Income funds returning 18.66%, 163 basis points behind its benchmark return of 20.29%. Non-U.S.Fixed-Income’s return of 20.61% was 170 basis points behind its index.
Emerging MarketsEmerging markets continued to weather global market volatility, but were not unaffected during the quarter. Themedian Emerging Debt fund gained a slight 1.02%, compared to a 2.26% gain in the fourth quarter of 2007, and laggedthe JP Morgan Emerging Market index return of 4.70%. The one-year median Emerging Debt manager return of 5.42%fell 13.33% behind its benchmark. Local market bonds continued to post strong dollar returns on currency appreciation,while rising yields detracted from performance. In contrast to other global markets, local emerging markets continuedto maintain relatively high trading volume and liquidity.

RISK/REWARD STATISTICS
The risk statistics used in this report examine performance characteristics of a manager or aportfolio relative to a benchmark (market indicator) which assumes to represent overallmovements in the asset class being considered. The main unit of analysis is the excess return,which is the portfolio return minus the return on a risk free asset (3 month T-Bill).
Alpha measures a portfolio’s return in excess of the market return adjusted for risk. It is ameasure of the manager’s contribution to performance with reference to security selection. Apositive alpha indicates that a portfolio was positively rewarded for the residual risk which wastaken for that level of market exposure.
Beta measures the sensitivity of rates of portfolio returns to movements in the market index. Aportfolio’s beta measures the expected change in return per 1% change in the return on the market. If a beta of a portfolio is 1.5, a 1 percent increase in the return on the market will result, onaverage, in a 1.5 percent increase in the return on the portfolio. The converse would also be true.
Downside Risk stems from the desire to differentiate between "good risk" (upside volatility) and"bad risk" (downside volatility). Whereas standard deviation punishes both upside and downsidevolatility, downside risk measures only the standard deviation of returns below the target. Returnsabove the target are assigned a deviation of zero. Both the frequency and magnitude ofunderperformance affect the amount of downside risk.
Excess Return Ratio is a measure of risk adjusted relative return. This ratio captures the amountof active management performance (value added relative to an index) per unit of activemanagement risk (tracking error against the index.) It is calculated by dividing the manager’sannualized cumulative excess return relative to the index by the standard deviation of theindividual quarterly excess returns. The Excess Return Ratio can be interpreted as the manager’sactive risk/reward tradeoff for diverging from the index when the index is mandated to be the"riskless" market position.
Information Ratio measures the manager’s market risk-adjusted excess return per unit of residualrisk relative to a benchmark. It is computed by dividing alpha by the residual risk over a giventime period. Assuming all other factors being equal, managers with lower residual risk achievehigher values in the information ratio. Managers with higher information ratios will add valuerelative to the benchmark more reliably and consistently.
R-Squared indicates the extent to which the variability of the portfolio returns are explained bymarket action. It can also be thought of as measuring the diversification relative to the appropriatebenchmark. An r-squared value of .75 indicates that 75% of the fluctuation in a portfolio return isexplained by market action. An r-squared of 1.0 indicates that a portfolio’s returns are entirelyrelated to the market and it is not influenced by other factors. An r-squared of zero indicates thatno relationship exists between the portfolio’s return and the market.
124
RISK/REWARD STATISTICS
Relative Standard Deviation is a simple measure of a manager’s risk (volatility) relative to abenchmark. It is calculated by dividing the manager’s standard deviation of returns by thebenchmark’s standard deviation of returns. A relative standard deviation of 1.20, for example,means the manager has exhibited 20% more risk than the benchmark over that time period. Aratio of .80 would imply 20% less risk. This ratio is especially useful when analyzing the risk ofinvestment grade fixed-income products where actual historical durations are not available. Byusing this relative risk measure over rolling time periods one can illustrate the "implied" historicalduration patterns of the portfolio versus the benchmark.
Residual Portfolio Risk is the unsystematic risk of a fund, the portion of the total risk unique tothe fund (manager) itself and not related to the overall market. This reflects the "bets" which themanager places in that particular asset market. These bets may reflect emphasis in particularsectors, maturities (for bonds), or other issue specific factors which the manager considers a goodinvestment opportunity. Diversification of the portfolio will reduce or eliminate the residual riskof that portfolio.
Sharpe Ratio is a commonly used measure of risk-adjusted return. It is calculated by subtractingthe "risk-free" return (usually 3 Month Treasury Bill) from the portfolio return and dividing theresulting "excess return" by the portfolio’s risk level (standard deviation). The result is a measureof return gained per unit of risk taken.
Sortino Ratio is a downside risk-adjusted measure of value-added. It measures excess return overa benchmark divided by downside risk. The natural appeal is that it identifies value-added per unitof truly bad risk. The danger of interpretation, however, lies in these two areas: (1) the statisticalsignificance of the denominator, and (2) its reliance on the persistence of skewness in returndistributions.
Standard Deviation is a statistical measure of portfolio risk. It reflects the average deviation ofthe observations from their sample mean. Standard deviation is used as an estimate of risk since itmeasures how wide the range of returns typically is. The wider the typical range of returns, thehigher the standard deviation of returns, and the higher the portfolio risk. If returns are normallydistributed (ie. has a bell shaped curve distribution) then approximately 2/3 of the returns wouldoccur within plus or minus one standard deviation from the sample mean.
Total Portfolio Risk is a measure of the volatility of the quarterly excess returns of an asset.Total risk is composed of two measures of risk: market (non-diversifiable or systematic) risk andresidual (diversifiable or unsystematic) risk. The purpose of portfolio diversification is to reducethe residual risk of the portfolio.
Tracking Error is a statistical measure of a portfolio’s risk relative to an index. It reflects thestandard deviation of a portfolio’s individual quarterly or monthly returns from the index’sreturns. Typically, the lower the Tracking Error, the more "index-like" the portfolio.
Treynor Ratio represents the portfolio’s average excess return over a specified period divided bythe beta relative to its benchmark over that same period. This measure reflects the reward over therisk-free rate relative to the systematic risk assumed.
Note: Alpha, Total Risk, and Residual Risk are annualized.

COMMON STOCK PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
All Portfolio Characteristics are derived by first calculating the characteristics for each security,and then calculating the weighted average of these values for the portfolio.
Cash Flow/Sales - Cash flow divided by sales. Cash flow is the cash generated by a companyafter all cash expenses, including income taxes and minority interest, but before provision fordividends. Expenses do not include non-cash expenses such as depreciation. Sales represent grosssales reduced by cash discounts, returned sales, etc.
Current Ratio - The Current Ratio is used for liquidity analysis in that it evaluates the adequacyof a firm’s cash resources relative to its cash obligations. The Current Ratio is equal to CurrentAssets divided by Current Liabilities. Current Assets are those assets of a company which arereasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed during the normal operating cycleof the business. Current Assets include cash, temporary investments, receivables, inventories, andprepaid expenses. Current Liabilities are monies owed and payable by a company, usually withinone year, deposits and advances from customers, and dividends declared but unpaid.
Debt to Capital Ratio - The Debt to Capital ratio is a measure of the level of total debt of acompany as a portion of the total capital. The Debt to Capital Ratio is equal to Total Debt dividedby Total Capital. Total Debt includes both current and long term debt. Total Capital is equal toall invested capital. The invested capital includes: 1)Total Debt; 2) the carrying value (par orstated value per share) or preferred stock; 3) the par or stated value of preferred or common stocksnot owned by the parent company; and 4) common equity, which includes common stock, capitalsurplus, and retained earnings.
Dividends/Cash Flow - The Dividend/Cash Flow ratio is a measure of the sustainability or safetyof a given dividend payment amount. Common stock dividends divided by cash flow. Thecommon stock dividends are the total dollar amount of dividends for a stock over the precedingtwelve months. Cash flow is the cash generated by a company after all cash expenses, includingincome taxes and minority interest, but before the provision for dividends.
Earnings/Sales - Earnings/Sales is a measure of a company’s profitability, specifically measuringthe relationship between the firm’s costs and its sales. The value is equal to the earnings of acompany divided by net sales. Earnings represent the income of a company after all expenses,income taxes, and minority interest, but before provisions for common and/or preferred stockdividends. Sales represent gross sales reduced by cash discounts, returned sales, etc.
Forecasted Earnings Yield - This "yield" is a forward-looking valuation measure of acompany’s common stock. It expresses the amount of earnings estimated for next year per dollarof current share price as a percentage yield. This value is calculated by dividing, for each stock,the consensus (mean) analysts’ earnings forecasts for the next year by the current share price.These earnings estimates are for recurring, non-extraordinary earnings per primary common share. The individual earnings yields (E/P) are then weighted by their respective portfolio market valuesin order to calculate a weighted average representative of the portfolio as a whole.
126
COMMON STOCK PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
Forecasted Long-Term Earnings Growth - This growth rate is a measure of a company’sexpected long-term success in generating future year-over-year earnings growth. This growth rateis a market value weighted average of the consensus (mean) analysts’ long-term earnings growthrate forecast for each company in the portfolio. The definition of long-term varies by analyst butis limited to a 3-8 year range. This value is expressed as the expected average annual growth ofearnings in percent.
Forecasted Price/Earnings Ratio - This ratio is a forward-looking valuation measure of acompany’s common stock. It encapsulates the amount of earnings estimated for next year perdollar of current share price. This value is calculated by dividing the present stock price of eachcompany in the portfolio by the consensus (mean) analysts’ earnings forecasts for the next year.These earnings estimates are for recurring, non-extraordinary earnings per primary common share.
Growth in Assets - This value represents a weighted average five year annual growth rate ofassets per common stock share. The rates of growth in assets for trailing twelve month periods arecalculated using the assets-per-share values for each time period. The five-year growth in assetsfigure is calculated for each security in a portfolio. From these individual values, a weightedaverage value is calculated for the portfolio. The number of shares in each time period is adjustedto reflect any splits, mergers, or other capital changes. Total Assets includes the sum of current,non-current, and intangible assets.
Growth in Book Value - This value represents a weighted average five year annual growth rate ofbook value per common stock share. The rates of growth in book value for trailing twelve monthperiods are calculated using the book value-per-share values for each time period. The five-yeargrowth in book value figure is calculated for each security in a portfolio. From these individualvalues, a weighted average value is calculated for the portfolio. The number of shares in eachtime period is adjusted to reflect any splits, mergers, or other capital changes. Total Book Value isthe sum of the common stock outstanding, capital surplus, and retained earnings.
Growth in Cash Flows - This value represents a weighted average five year annual growth rate ofcash flow per common stock share. The rates of growth in cash flow for trailing twelve monthperiods are calculated using the cash flow-per-share values for each time period. The five-yeargrowth in cash flow figure is calculated for each security in a portfolio. From these individualvalues, a weighted average value is calculated for the portfolio. The number of shares in eachtime period is adjusted to reflect any splits, mergers, or other capital changes. Cash flow is thecash generated by a company after all cash expenses, including income taxes and minorityinterest, but before provision for dividends. In this case, common shares are the shares used tocalculate primary earnings per share. Primary earnings per share are earnings per share that arenot diluted, because it is assumed that securities that are convertible into equities are notconverted.

The number of shares in each time period is adjustedto reflect any splits, mergers, or other capital changes. Sales represent gross sales reduced by cashdiscounts, return sales, etc. In this case, common shares are the shares used to calculate primaryearnings per share. Primary earnings per share are earnings per share that are not diluted, becauseit is assumed that securities that are convertible into equities are not converted.
Interest/Pretax Earnings - This value is used as a measure of the ability of a company to meetinterest payments out of earnings. The ratio is equal to the interest expense divided by earnings.Earnings are the value before: 1) interest expense, the expense of securing both short andlong-term debt; 2) state, federal, and foreign taxes; 3) extraordinary items and discontinuedoperation; 4) provision for common and preferred dividends; and 5) minority interests, which isthat portion of the consolidated subsidiary income applicable to common stock not owned by theparent company.

Value of Holdings - This represents the total market value of all the securities in the portfolio,computed as the sum of the products of the closing value per share and the number of shares ofeach security held in the portfolio.
130
FIXED-INCOME PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
All Portfolio Characteristics are derived by first calculating the characteristics for each security,and then calculating the market value weighted average of these values for the portfolio.
Allocation by Sector - Sector allocation is one of the tools which managers often use to add valuewithout impacting the duration of the portfolio. The sector weights exhibit can be used to contrasta portfolio’s weights with those of the index to identify any significant sector bets.
Average Coupon - The average coupon is the market value weighted average coupon of allsecurities in the portfolio. The total portfolio coupon payments per year are divided by the totalportfolio par value.
Average Moody’s Rating for Total Portfolio - A measure of the credit quality as determined bythe individual security ratings. The ratings for each security, from Moody’s Investor Service, arecompiled into a composite rating for the whole portfolio. Quality symbols range from Aaa+(highest investment quality - lowest credit risk) to C (lowest investment quality - highest creditrisk).
Average Option Adjusted (Effective) Convexity - Convexity is a measure of the portfolio’sexposure to interest rate risk. It is a measure of how much the duration of the portfolio willchange given a change in interest rates. Generally, securities with negative convexities areconsidered to be risky in that changes in interest rates will result in disadvantageous changes induration. When a security’s duration changes it indicates that the stream of expected futurecash-flows has changed, generally having a significant impact on the value of the security. Theoption adjusted convexity for each security in the portfolio is calculated using models developedby Lehman Brothers and Salomon Brothers which determine the expected stream of cash-flowsfor the security based on various interest rate scenarios. Expected cash-flows take into accountany put or call options embedded in the security, any expected sinking-fund paydowns or anyexpected mortgage principal prepayments.
Average Option Adjusted (Effective) Duration - Duration is one measure of the portfolio’sexposure to interest rate risk. Generally, the higher a portfolio’s duration, the more that its valuewill change in response to interest rate changes. The option adjusted duration for each security inthe portfolio is calculated using models developed by Lehman Brothers and Salomon Brotherswhich determine the expected stream of cash-flows for the security based on various interest ratescenarios. Expected cash-flows take into account any put or call options embedded in the security,any expected sinking-fund paydowns or any expected mortgage principal prepayments.
Average Price - The average price is equal to the portfolio market value divided by the number ofsecurities in the portfolio. Portfolios with an average price above par will tend to generate morecurrent income than those with an average price below par.
Average Years to Expected Maturity - This is a measure of the market-value-weighted averageof the years to expected maturity across all of the securities in the portfolio. Expected years tomaturity takes into account any put or call options embedded in the security, any expectedsinking-fund paydowns or any expected mortgage principal prepayments.
131
FIXED-INCOME PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
Average Years to Stated Maturity - The average years to stated maturity is the market valueweighted average time to stated maturity for all securities in the portfolio. This measure does nottake into account imbedded options, sinking fund paydowns, or prepayments.
Current Yield - The current yield is the current annual income generated by the total portfoliomarket value. It is equal to the total portfolio coupon payments per year divided by the currenttotal portfolio market value.
Duration Dispersion - Duration dispersion is the market-value weighted standard deviation of theportfolio’s individual security durations around the total portfolio duration. The higher thedispersion, the more variable the security durations relative to the total portfolio duration("barbellness"), and the smaller the dispersion, the more concentrated the holdings’ durationsaround the overall portfolio’s ("bulletness"). The purpose of this statistic is to gauge the"bulletness" or "barbellness" of a portfolio relative to its total duration and to that of its benchmarkindex.
Effective Yield - The effective yield is the actual total annualized return that would be realized ifall securities in the portfolio were held to their expected maturities. Effective yield is calculated asthe internal rate of return, using the current market value and all expected future interest andprincipal cash flows. This measure incorporates sinking fund paydowns, expected mortgageprincipal prepayments, and the exercise of any "in-the-money" imbedded put or call options.
Weighted Average Life - The weighted average life of a security is the weighted average time topayment of all remaining principal. It is calculated by multiplying each expected future principalpayment amount by the time left to the payment. This amount is then divided by the total amountof principal remaining. Weighted average life is commonly used as a measure of the investmentlife for pass-through security types for comparison to non-pass-through securities.

COMMON STOCK ATTRIBUTION ANALYSIS
Common Stock Attribution Analysis provides a way to evaluate the factors that contribute to anequity portfolio’s total rate of return. The rate of return for the portfolio can be broken into threecomponents: Market Return plus additional components resulting from the manager’s IndustryConcentration and Stock Selection decisions.
Market Return is the rate of return that would have been achieved if the portfolio had beeninvested in the S&P 500 index.
Industry Concentration measures the additional return produced by the difference between theportfolio’s industry sector weightings and that of the S&P 500 index. Industry Concentration iscomputed daily by multiplying this portfolio’s weighting differential by the difference between theS&P 500 sector return and the total S&P 500 return. These daily Industry Concentration figuresare accumulated to obtain a total effect by industry sector each quarter.
Stock Selection measures the additional return produced by the manager’s security selectionwithin each industry sector. Stock Selection is computed daily by multiplying the portfolio’s dailyweighting in the industry sector by the difference between the portfolio sector return and the S&P500 sector return. These daily Stock Selection figures are accumulated to obtain a total effect byindustry sector each quarter.
An evaluation of the Common Stock Attribution Analysis begins by reviewing the total portfolioIndustry Concentration and Stock Selection components for the analysis period. Specifically, thosequarters that show either an Industry Concentration component or a Stock Selection componentappreciably less than zero can be considered in greater detail through the industry sector report.
Stock Selection by industry sector shows how the decisions for each sector contribute to the totalStock Selection effect. Each portfolio sector whose return exceeds the S&P industry sector returnwill show a positive Stock Selection effect. Each portfolio sector whose return falls short of theS&P industry sector return will show a negative Stock Selection effect.
Industry Concentration by industry sector shows how the weightings in each sector contributeto the total Industry Concentration effect. Each sector whose S&P 500 industry sector returnexceeds the total S&P 500 return and where the manager’s sector commitment was overweightedwill show a positive Industry Concentration effect. Each sector whose S&P 500 industry sectorreturn falls short of the total S&P 500 return and where the manager’s sector commitment wasunderweighted will show a positive Industry Concentration effect as well.
On the other hand, each sector whose S&P 500 industry sector return exceeds the total S&P 500return and where the manager’s sector commitment was underweighted will show a negativeIndustry Concentration effect. Similarly, each sector whose S&P 500 industry sector return fallsshort of the total S&P 500 return and where the manager’s sector commitment was overweightedwill show a negative Industry Concentration effect.
