The below graph shows how each risk factor in the sample set impacts the various portfolio strategies. Factor Analysis is calculated using the monthly return over the previous 12 months.
- The model analyses historical returns of the portfolio against the returns and volatility of key
indicators:
- Credit is benchmarked against the High Yield North American CDX Index.
- Risk-Free is benchmarked against the Treasury Yield Curve Rate.
- Volatility is benchmarked against the VIX Squared Index (VVIX).
- Equity Markets is benchmarked against the Russell 3000.
- The model shows that the SBCERA plan is highly correlated to the 4 factors.
- The 60/40 portfolio is also highly correlated to the model. However, the SBCERA plan achieves more
asset class diversification than a 60/40 portfolio for a similar correlation.

advantage of perceived mispricing in securities, asset classes and investment structures. Special Situations tends to be comprised of investment structures that face a liquidity crisis or critical event. Commentary *Graphical representation can be found in the appendix
- Average daily trading volume for shorter-termed U.S. Treasuries jumped in January, while volume for
longer-termed issues continued sliding off November's highs. Volume of issues with maturities between three and six years in January was up 53% from the previous month to $169.6 billion; issues maturing in three years or less saw a more modest 6% increase to $135.2 billion.

- The Private Equity portfolio is comprised of a core allocation to Standard Life and Pathway Capital
Management (exposure to domestic private equity) and Partners Group (exposure to European private equity).
- In addition, the allocation is complemented by a direct investment program that focuses on generating
cash flows in the shorter term. Commentary *Graphical representation can be found in the appendix
- Looking at the top-level metrics, the industry remained healthy in 2016, although some of the aggregate
figures retreated from 2015.
- Exit activity was strong, but the totals for 2016 declined as deals that had been on hold during the global
financial crisis and its immediate aftermath were finally digested.
- Returns had another strong showing, continuing to outperform public markets by a sizable gap over both
short-term and long-term time horizons, thus reinforcing investor confidence.
- Global buyout activity, on the other hand, declined. Persistently high asset valuations and stiff competition
from corporate buyers, complicated by macroeconomic and political uncertainties across regions, made deal making challenging in 2016.

- The U.S. investment industry shed 1,500 research analyst jobs in 2016, or 9.2% of its staff from the end of
2015, according to data from eVestment. The industry saw steady increases coming out of the recession, reaching 16,431 analysts by 2015.
- The decline has been attributed to veteran analysts leaving the industry and younger professionals
choosing different careers. There has also been a move by investment firms to depend less on internal resources and look outward to the increasing number of reliable third-party research mediums available.
- Futhermore, the use of such third-party research is viewed more favorably by some who feel relationships
between subject firms and investment managers might impede objectivity.

Commentary * Graphical representation can be found in the appendix
- The median public pension plan allocation to real estate was $1.3 billion as of Sept. 30, while corporate
plans allocated a median $191 million, according to data collected by Pensions & Investments. Both figures are up from their 2015 medians, and significantly higher than where they were in 2011. The maximum public and corporate plan allocations were $27.7 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively.
- Public plans have shown renewed appetite for the asset class in the years following the recession.
Corporate plans have been less enthusiastic about real estate, particularly as many plans move to liability- driven investment platforms.
- Over the one-year period ended Sept. 30, the NCREIF Property index was up 9.22%, and 11.17% over the
trailing five-year period on an annualized basis.

Appendix III: Calculation Methodologies
Synthetic Calculation Methodology 1) Calculate absolute returns to calculate synthetic benefit. 2) Input benefit to all sub-asset classes with a synthetic exposure. 3) Calculate an adjusted weighted net return for sub-asset class and asset class. SBCERA Total Plan The SBCERA Total Plan performance calculation uses the monthly returns as calculated by Maples for the 1 year time period. For the 2, 3 and 5 year time horizons, the performance returns have been sourced from the monthly State Street Summary of Manager Performance reports. 60/40 Portfolio The 60/40 Portfolio is a weighted average of 2 indices that have been chosen to benchmark the Equity and Fixed Income asset classes. The MSCI AC World Daily Total Return Gross Ex US Index is used as the Equity benchmark with an allocation weighting of 60%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is used as the Fixed Income benchmark with an allocation weighting of 40%. Performance Calculation Methodology
- Performance returns over all time horizons have been calculated by geometrically compounding the monthly returns series.
- SBCERA $ value added figures are taken directly from State Street and are not calculated by Maples.
Stress/Scenario Test Methodology
- The SBCERA portfolio is a model portfolio comprised of SBCERA policy indices. The weightings are determined based on current asset allocation amounts. The methodology
incorporates the protection gained from the Put Options positions.
Investment Oversight
San Bernardino County Employees’ Retirement Association As at 28 February 2017
