DESCRIPTION OF PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY Cambridge Associates LLC (CA) has established a database to monitor investments made by venture capital and other alternative asset partnerships. On September 30, 2008, 748 U.S. private equity funds from the years 1986 through 2008 were included in the sample. Users of the analysis may find the following description of the data sources, the CA classification process, and the calculation techniques helpful to their interpretation of information presented in the report: 1. Partnership financial statements and narratives are the primary source for information concerning partnership

cash flows, portfolio company investments, and investor transactions. 2. The performance calculation solves for the discount rate (IRR) which makes the Net Present Value of an

investment equal to zero. The calculation is based on cash-on-cash returns over equal periods, modified for the residual value of the partnership's equity or portfolio company's net asset value (NAV). The residual value attributed to each respective group being measured is incorporated at its ending value. The database accounts for transactions on a quarterly basis, but adopts annualized values for reporting purposes. The End-to-End performance calculation is similar to the IRR, however, it is measuring the return between two points in time. The calculation takes into account the beginning NAV, the quarterly cash flows and the ending NAV. All returns greater than one year are annualized.

3. Recognizing the alternative asset community's sensitivity to the distribution of information pertaining to

individual fund investments, as a matter of policy CA only releases aggregated figures in its benchmark report.

4. Vintage year is defined as the legal inception date as noted in a fund's financial statement. 5. Definitions:

a. The pooled mean aggregates or "pools" all cash flows and ending NAVs to calculate a dollar-weighted return.

b. The arithmetic mean is the average of the discrete returns of each fund for a particular vintage year. c. The median is the middle fund return of the group of funds included in a vintage year. d. The equal-weighted mean equal-weights all cash flows and ending NAVs based on paid in capital to

calculate a dollar-weighted return. e. The realization ratios described below are measures of return or contributed capital. Ratios are based on

actual dollar values and not averages 1) Distribution to Paid-In Capital measures the cumulative investment return relative to contributed

capital. 2) Residual Value to Paid-In Capital measures the amount of contributed capital still tied up in the

equity of the fund. 3) Total Value to Paid-In Capital measures the residual value and distributions received to date relative

to contributed capital.
