LBPE Portfolio Performance by Asset Class


From 31 December 2007 through 28 February 2009, the total value to paid-in multiple of LBPEs portfolio decreased from 1.09x to 0.83x in aggregate
Large-cap buyout: Lower public market comparables, higher degrees of leverage and weakening operating performance led to reduced valuations at the end of 2008 Mid-cap buyout: Valuations declined across much of the portfolio but to a lesser degree than large-cap buyout Lower valuations were offset by unrealized gains in the value of certain mid-cap buyout co-investments Special situations: Unrealized losses principally related to mark-tomarket adjustments on debt securities purchased by trading and restructuring funds Growth equity / venture capital: Positive returns were driven by strong operating performance at two of the larger companies in the portfolio

LBPE Special Situations Portfolio Performance


From 31 December 2007 through 28 February 2009, the total value to paid-in multiple of LBPEs special situations portfolio decreased from 1.01x to 0.69x
The special situations portfolio is in the early stages of the J-curve with a majority of the capital deployed in 2008 It is not unusual for distressed portfolios to have initial negative returns as managers build their investment positions If managers are making appropriate credit selections, we would expect the distressed portfolios to appreciate rapidly when markets begin to stabilize By investing primarily in debt securities, the distressed portfolios should provide downside protection LBPEs special situations trading strategy portfolio was negatively affected by the performance of the sole fund utilizing material leverage at the fund level Special Situations Performance by Strategy

Endnotes
1. The diversification analysis by asset class and investment type is based on the net asset value of underlying fund investments and co-investments (including unfunded commitments on a total private equity exposure basis). The diversification analysis by vintage year, geography and industry is based on the diversification of underlying portfolio company investments at fair value as estimated by the Investment Manager. The vintage year diversification also includes an allocation of net cash flows and valuation adjustments made since financial statements were last received from the investment sponsor. Determinations regarding asset class, geography and industry, as well as the allocation of unfunded commitments on a total private equity exposure basis, also represent the Investment Managers estimates. Accordingly, the actual diversification of our investment portfolio and the diversification of our investment portfolio on an ongoing basis may vary from the foregoing information.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "should," "will," and "would," or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations are subject to risks and uncertainties and can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or are within our control. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Factors and events that could cause our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations to vary materially include, among other things, general economic conditions, securities market conditions, private equity market conditions, the level and volatility of interest rates and equity prices, competitive conditions, liquidity of global markets, international and regional political conditions, regulatory and legislative developments, monetary and fiscal policy, investor sentiment, availability and cost of capital, technological changes and events, outcome of legal proceedings, changes in currency values, inflation, credit ratings and the size, volume and timing of transactions, as well as other risks described elsewhere in this report.

Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations, or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described by our forwardlooking statements might not occur.
