Target Allocation Actual Allocation

Expected Return Expected Risk Expected Allocation Based TE

♦ Using Wilshire’s 2011 Asset Class Assumptions, the Tacoma Employees’ Retirement System (“TERS, the System”)’s expected return based on its actual asset allocation is currently slightly lower than the expected return based on its target allocation. However, given the current asset allocation level, the System’s calculated expected volatility is also lower than that based on its target allocation.

♦ TERS’ domestic equity investments are currently the biggest contributor to its total volatility (at

48.4% based on actual allocation as of September 30). This is primarily attributed to the ramp-up process of the System’s new private equity allocation, as most of the capital earmarked for private equity investments have yet to be called down from the S&P 500 parking fund.

♦ As the European sovereign debt concern lingered and worries of a global double-dip recession grew,

volatilities spiked during the third quarter and TERS’ portfolios reported an overall decline of -9.5%, just narrowly missing its asset allocation policy benchmark. Over the one-year mark and beyond, the System’s track record has compared favorably to its policy benchmark by outperforming in all measured periods shown. Relative to the actuarial rate of return, TERS’ return has trailed for the quarter as well as longer-term periods shown.

Actual Return

♦ The total fund attribution table above displays the return contribution of each asset class to the total

fund. This table will allow the Board to see if tactical allocation and active management within asset classes helped or hurt performance during the quarter.

− Strategic Policy: The policy return for each of the asset classes. − Actual Allocation: The return contribution during the quarter due to differences in the actual

allocation from the policy allocation (i.e. the actual allocation to fixed income was lower than the policy allocation). A positive number would indicate the overweight or underweight helped performance and vice versa.

− Active Management: The return contribution from active management. The number would be positive if the asset class outperformed the designated policy index and vice versa (i.e. the domestic equity segment outperformed the policy index, the S&P 500, during the quarter).

− Actual Return: The actual return of the asset classes if allocations to them were static during the quarter. These returns will not match exactly with the actual segment returns since asset class allocations change during the quarter due to market movement, cash flows, etc.

♦ Per Wilshire’s attribution model, undesirable active management impact was the primary factor that

drove this quarter’s underperformance. The System’s asset allocation variance had a small negative impact primarily due to higher-than-policy target allocation in domestic equity, which was among the worst performing asset classes for the quarter. However, it was really due to poor relative results from core fixed income and international equity that contributed to the System’s underperformance. For the quarter, core fixed income trailed its policy benchmark by 208 bps while international equity was behind by 98 bps. These two major asset classes combined represent over 40% of the System’s invested assets and therefore their weak relative performance was a notable detractor.

♦ Similar to the broad U.S. equity market, TERS’ domestic equity composite posted another decline

during the third quarter, down -15.1%, but fared slightly better than the -15.3% of its asset allocation policy benchmark, currently the Russell 3000 Index. All of TERS’ domestic equity portfolios, except the small cap index fund, performed better than the Russell 3000 Index and therefore contributed positively to the composite’s relative return. The domestic equity composite has tracked its policy benchmark fairly close over the past five years and continues to do well over the long-term.

♦ Northern Trust manages four U.S. equity index funds for the System, including two large cap core

funds (one participates in security lending while the other one does not; they are grouped into the S&P 500 Composite), a large cap growth fund, and a small cap core fund, designed to track the S&P 500 Index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and the Russell 2000 Index, respectively. For the quarter, all funds essentially mimicked their respective benchmarks, and they continue to perform in line with expectations over longer time horizon.

♦ INTECH, one of the domestic equity composite’s two enhanced index managers, reported a 3Q return

of -14.3% and modestly underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, as well as its performance objective, benchmark + 1%. For the quarter, INTECH’s sector weighting scheme actually added value, given that it was overweight in Utilities (6.1% portfolio vs. 3.4% benchmark) and Consumer Staples (12.0% portfolio vs. 10.6% benchmark), the two best performing sectors within the S&P 500. However, this gain was not enough to offset unfavorable stock selection impact, particularly in the Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Information Technology space, as INTECH’s aggregate performance here lagged the benchmark’s by a large margin. Among this quarter’s notable losers included Netflix, Inc (-56.9%), Agilent Technologies Inc (-38.9%), and First Solar Inc (-52.2%). Over all longer periods since inception, INTECH has outperformed the S&P 500 Index, although it still trails its performance objective.


Domestic Equity Overview (Continued)

Managers ♦ Research Affiliates (RAFI), the larger of the two enhanced index portfolios, returned -15.0% for the

quarter and underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and its performance objective, benchmark + 1%. Poor issue-specific returns drove this quarter’s underperformance as many of RAFI’s selections, large and small, posted steep decline during the 3Q selloff: Bank of America Corp (2.6% weight, -44.1% return), Alcoa Inc (0.5% weight, -39.5% return), and American Airline’s parent company AMR Corp (0.1% weight, -45.2% return). Over all measured periods shown, Research Affiliates’ track record has done well against the S&P 500, although it is still trailing its performance objective through inception.

♦ TERS’ international equity composite, which is 38.5% hedged, experienced a broad retreat induced

by the European sovereign debt crisis during the quarter and reported a return of -19.7%, underperforming the -18.8% of its custom benchmark, currently 38.5% MSCI EAFE/38.5% MSCI EAFE Hedged/23% MSCI Emerging Markets. The un-hedged version of the international equity composite returned -21.0% for the same period, also trailing its un-hedged benchmark, MSCI ACW x-US Index, by a similar margin. On an absolute basis, emerging markets continued to be the worst performing segment and was down -22.6%, as rising fear of Europe’s ability to limit potential impact of the debt crisis from spreading to the rest of the world prompted investors to sharply reduce exposure from riskier regions. Over the long-term, the international equity composite’s track record has underperformed for all measured periods.

♦ The System currently utilizes two index funds to help achieve primary exposure to the developed and

emerging markets within the international equity space. These funds, the Northern Trust EAFE Index Fund and the Northern Trust Emerging Markets Index Fund, are managed against the MSCI EAFE Index and the MSCI EM Index, respectively. For the quarter ending September 30, both funds were slightly behind their respective benchmarks while the hedged version of the EAFE fund fared better when compared to the MSCI EAFE Hedged Index. The EAFE fund continues to add value over all longer periods, and the Emerging Markets fund has modestly trailed since its inception.

♦ Due to on-going performance issues, TERS terminated its active EAFE manager TT International and

replaced it with Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) and Research Affiliates (RAFI) during the third quarter. Wilshire will begin full performance reporting once the transition process is completed in 4Q.

♦ TERS’ total fixed income composite was the only major asset class finishing in the positive territory

during the quarter, with a return of 0.7%, although it trailed its asset allocation benchmark primarily due to poor relative performance results from the core fixed income segment. Over longer term time periods, however, the total fixed income composite has done very well against its custom benchmark. Starting May 2011, a new TIPS portfolio was added to complement TERS’ existing investment grade and high yield fixed income exposure.

Managers ♦ TERS’ core fixed income composite returned a respectable 1.7% during the third quarter but

underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, which had a gain of 3.8%. The composite’s one-year return also trailed the benchmark but has otherwise outperformed over all other measure periods.

♦ Metropolitan West, the System’s core fixed income manager, returned 1.4% for the quarter and

significantly trailed both of its benchmark, the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, and its performance objective, benchmark + 0.75%. From a duration and maturity positioning perspective, MetWest did well as its average effective duration was much higher than the benchmark (7.0 years vs. 5.0 years, respectively) and maintained a much bigger exposure to the strong performing long bonds (% of holdings with maturity > 20 years, 23% MetWest vs. 9% benchmark). However, most of the portfolio’s investments were not in government issues (6% MetWest vs. 43% benchmark) and had a lower-than-benchmark average quality rating, a combination that proved to be ill-timed as spiking volatilities in the market drove investors back to the safer government/agency securities during 3Q. Over the long term, MetWest has performed well and beat the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index as well as its performance objective since inception.

♦ For risk-control purposes, the System added a passive fixed income fund to the core fixed income

composite in 2010. The fund is managed by BlackRock and is indexed against the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. The BlackRock index fund mirrored its benchmark during 3Q and is performing in line with expectations.

♦ The recently created TIPS portfolio had $25 million at the end of the third quarter, representing

approximately 7% of the System’s total fixed income assets (it has a target of 8.6%). The TIPS allocation is invested through an index strategy managed by BlackRock, benchmarked against the Barclays U.S. TIPS Index. The fund outpaced its benchmark during the quarter.

5 High Yield Composite and Post Advisory Portfolio Custom Benchmark: 1/2010-current, Merrill Lynch High Yield BB/B Constrained Index. 10/2005-12/2009, Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II.



Managers ♦ Post Advisory Group, the System’s traditional high yield manager, generated a -4.0% return for the

quarter and outperformed relative to its custom benchmark, currently the Merrill Lynch High Yield BB/B Constrained Index (-5.0% return), and its performance objective, benchmark + 1.75%). European debt concerns weighed heavily on high yield bonds’ valuations, particularly towards the second half of the quarter. Investors continued to retreat from all high yield sectors as Greece’s debt crisis worsened after the European governments struggled to reach consensus on the expansion of the bailout fund for indebted PIIGS countries. For the quarter, the portfolio’s average quality rating was lower than the benchmark (B rating vs. BB rating), and that was a small detractor as the lower grade of the high yield securities suffered the most losses during 3Q’s selloff. However, Post’s average effective duration was lower than the benchmark (4.0 years vs. 4.7 years) and had an overall positive issue selection impact, which combine helped the portfolio to eke out a relative outperformance during the quarter. Over the three-year and longer term periods, Post’s track record continued to trail its custom benchmark and performance objective.

♦ In the interest of further developing a diversified exposure to fixed income securities, the System

added Eaton Vance, a bank loan fund that focuses on senior secured floating rate loans, during the 2Q to complement its existing high yield allocation. For the fund’s first full quarter, Eaton Vance generated a return of -2.4% and fared better than its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, which was down -4.8% for the same period.

♦ The System’s real estate composite returned -6.5% during the quarter and lagged behind its custom

benchmark, currently 50% NCREIF Property Index/50% Wilshire REIT Index. While the composite’s recent performance has made notable recovery and its long-term track record remains positive, it has underperformed the custom benchmark over all periods measured.

♦ Adelante Capital, the System’s real estate securities manager, generated a 3Q return of -14.1% and

outperformed comparing to the Wilshire REIT Index, as well as its performance objective, benchmark + 1%. Favorable sector exposure helped contribute to this relative outperformance, primarily due to Adelante’s notable underweight in Hotel (1.7% portfolio vs. 5.7% benchmark) and Industrial 0.1% portfolio vs. 3.4% benchmark), which were among the worst performing real estate sectors during the quarter. Against the Wilshire REIT Index, Adelante has added value since inception, but its track record continued to trail its benchmark and performance objective for all other measured periods.

♦ The INVESCO Core Real Estate-USA LLC fund, TERS’ private real estate portfolio, returned 2.0%

for the third quarter of 2011, reflecting a gradual, but continued recovery of the commercial real estate market. This performance, however, trailed the 3.3% return of the NCREIF Property Index.

Private Equity Overview (Continued) Funds

♦ Based on asset allocation policy adopted in 2008, the System started a Private Equity investment

program during 1Q 2009. The Plan selected HarbourVest and Pantheon to be the first managers for this program and will use the existing Northern Trust Large Cap Core Fund as the source of funds for future capital calls. Wilshire will continue to report on HarbourVest and Pantheon as these funds deploy called down capital.

♦ The Private Equity Composite produced a return of -9.5% and outperformed relative to its custom

benchmark (-10.9%) for the third quarter. The “parking fund” for future private equity investments, the Northern Trust Large Cap Core Fund, returned -13.9% and matched the S&P 500 Index for the quarter. Since inception (3/09), the fund continues to add value relative to the S&P 500 Index.

Real Assets Overview Funds

♦ Continuing to implement the new asset allocation policy adopted by the Board earlier this year, the

System selected and funded a portfolio managed by Tortoise Capital Advisors during the third quarter, to represent the new real assets asset class. Tortoise is a master limited partnership (MLP) vehicle that focuses on energy infrastructure, specifically on long-haul natural gas/natural gas liquids pipelines and storage. The MLP was funded during September and had approximately $31 million at the end of the quarter, representing 3.1% of TERS’ total assets (it has an asset allocation target of 3%). Wilshire will begin to report official performance on Tortoise starting in 4Q.

Tacoma Managers

Domestic Equities: common stock represents equity ownership in a public traded US corporation. Wilshire’s long term expected return for US equities is 7.25%, a 25 bps decline from the prior year.

A. Index Managers- Index Managers seek to build portfolios that replicate the movement of the index being tracked. Tracking can be achieved by holding all of the securities in the index, or by holding representative securities. Index portfolios should earn the return of the index and have the risk characteristics of the index. This is a passive approach to investing and is attractive because of its lower fees and tracking error.

1. Northern Trust – S&P 500 Index (Lending/Non-lending) Inception Date: 12/1990

This manager seeks to earn the return and have the risk characteristics of the S&P 500 Index.

2. Northern Trust – Russell 1000 Growth Index Inception Date: 3/2009

This manager seeks to earn the return and have the risk characteristics of the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

3. Northern Trust – Small-cap Core Index Inception Date: 12/1990

This manager seeks to earn the return and have the risk characteristics of the Russell 2000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index is used as a performance benchmark by small cap managers.

B. Enhanced Index Managers-Enhanced Index Managers seeks to add small amounts of incremental return above a specified benchmark by creating portfolios that have more attractive characteristics than the index without taking significant “bets” against the benchmark in terms of sector weightings, style, or market cap size.

1. INTECH: Enhanced Plus Index Inception Date: 3/2007

This quantitative manager seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Index by 2% annually with a tracking error of less than 2%. INTECH’s strategy is unique because it is purely mathematical and focuses on volatility and covariance (other quantitative managers look to exploit security mis-pricing). The portfolio is constructed by weighting stocks based on their expected volatility and covariance but INTECH ensures that this volatility is well diversified within the portfolio, so that the total portfolio does not have volatility that is meaningfully different than the S&P 500. The portfolio is optimized and rebalanced regularly to ensure tracking error is controlled.

2. Research Affiliates – Enhanced Large Company Index Inception Date: 3/2007

This fundamental index manager seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Index by 2% annually. Using data, this manager weights securities based on accounting fundamentals instead of the traditional market capitalization weighting used by most index managers. This manager determines the weight for each security based on: cash flow, total book value, dividends, and sales on a trailing 5 year basis. The portfolio is constructed based on selecting the 1000 US securities with the highest weights determined using the fundamental approach.

International Equities: common stock represents equity ownership in a non-US public traded corporation. Wilshire’s long term expected return for International equities is 7.25%, a 25 bps decline from the prior year.

1. Northern Trust – EAFE Index – Passive International Equity Inception Date: 3/2009

This manager seeks to earn the return and have the risk characteristics of the Morgan Stanley Capital International’s Europe, Australia & Far East Index (MSCI EAFE Index)

2. Northern Trust – Emerging Markets Index – Passive International Equity Inception Date: 3/2009

This manager seeks to earn the return and have the risk characteristics of the Morgan Stanley Capital International’s Emerging Markets Index (MSCI EM Index)

3. Dimensional Fund Advisors – International Core Equity Portfolio – Active International Equity Inception Date: 9/2011

Designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation, this portfolio seeks to purchase a broad and diverse range of non-US companies in developed markets with an increased exposure to small cap and value stocks, relative to the market universe. In assessing value, the portfolio manager considers factors such as the issuer’s securities having a high book value in relation to their market value, as well as price-to-cash flow or price-to-earnings ratios.

Fixed Income: bonds are debt instruments that are contractually required to be repaid at maturity by the issuer. Wilshire’s long term expected return for US bonds is 3.75%, a 50 bps decline from the prior year.

1. Metropolitan West Asset Management: Total Return Bonds Inception Date: 3/2002

Metropolitan West manages an investment grade fixed income portfolio. This active fixed income manager adds value by 1) varying the duration of the portfolio from the benchmark’s duration, 2) yield curve management, 3) sector rotation, 4) individual security selection, 5) proprietary buy/sell execution strategies. The portfolio is constructed based on macro themes. Duration changes are constrained to be +/- 1 year of the benchmark. Individual positions are limited to 1% at purchase and may rise to 2.5% of portfolio over time. This manager typically holds 75 – 95 issues.

2. BlackRock: Barclays Aggregate Bond Index Inception Date: 6/2010

This manager seeks to earn the return and have the risk characteristics of the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index.

3. Post Advisory Group – High Yield Bonds Inception Date: 9/2005

This active high yield bond manager ranks bonds based on 100 point quantitative and qualitative system. Industry position accounts for (20%), Company position (60%), and Security position (20%). The portfolio is constructed by consensus team decision, it is well diversified with individual positions range from 1%-2% of the portfolio. Post is not allowed to hold CCC rated bonds (very low credit quality) in this portfolio.

4. Eaton Vance – Bank Loan Inception Date: 6/2011
