Performance Returns: Performance returns information (TV/TC (Total Value / Total Cost), TVPI (Total Value Paid-In), Portfolio IRR (Internal Rate of Return), TWR (Time Weighted Return), and IRR) shown net of fees and expenses are based on the Fund's Limited Partner ("LP") cash flow after all management fees, commissions, fund operating expenses, and carried interest. These returns reflect the combined return for all LPs in a fund and do not necessarily reflect an individual LP's actual return. Where applicable, a final LP cash flow is based on the fair market value of all LP capital accounts as determined by the Fund or account's General Partner ("GP") in accordance with the Firm's valuation policy. Net IRR and Net TVPI are calculated based on daily LP cash flows.

Gross performance returns, if shown, are based on the annual return calculated using daily cash flows from the Fund(s) to and from the various partnerships or companies held by the Fund, either directly or through a special purpose vehicle in which the Fund invested during the period specified, inclusive of the effects of fund-level leverage which is used to achieve those returns, to the extent such a fund is a levered fund. Gross performance returns are presented before management fees, carried interest, and other expenses borne by investors in the Fund(s), inclusive of the effects of fund-level leverage which is used to achieve those returns, to the extent such a fund is a levered fund. An actual portfolio would bear such fees and expenses. If such fees and expenses were deducted from performance, returns would be lower. For example, if a fund appreciated by 10% a year for five years, the total annualized return for five years prior to deducting fees and expenses at the end of the five-year period would be 10%. If total fund fees and expenses were 1% for each of the five years, the total annualized return of the fund for five years at the end of the five-year period would be 8.90%. These returns reflect the fees, expenses, and carried interest of the underlying fund investments (where applicable), certain expenses of any special purpose vehicle that held an interest in the underlying fund (where applicable), and the upfront costs, fees, expenses, and interest expense of the fund's leverage facilities, to the extent such a fund is a levered fund, but do not reflect the management fees, carried interest, and other expenses borne by investors in the Fund(s), which will reduce returns. The specific payment terms and other conditions of the management fees, carried interest, and other expenses of a Fund are set forth in the governing documents of the Fund.

Forward-looking statements
