    WASHINGTON STATE INVESTMENT BOARD SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 PRIVATE EQUITY PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW BY STRATEGY There is a quarter lag in this performance repor ng informa on due to the me allowed and necessary to compile and corroborate the fi nancial data. The IRRs contained in this report are calculated by Hamilton Lane for WSIB based on informa on provided by the general partner (e.g. cash fl ows and valua ons). Such IRR calcula ons have not been confi rmed by the general partners. The result of WSIB’s IRR calcula on may diff er from that generated by the general partner or other limited partners, primarily due to lack of industry valua on standards, diff erences in the investment pace and strategy of various funds, date of close, sale of distributed stock, and other factors. One of the most important factors that must be considered in measuring and comparing results is the J-Curve Eff ect used to plot fund returns against me (from incep on to termina on). It’s a common prac ce to include management fees and start-up costs in the fi rst draw-down which does not produce an equivalent book value. As a result, private equity funds in the early years show low or nega ve returns. A er three to fi ve years when the fi rst realiza ons are made, fund returns start to rise quite steeply and the interim performance data then provides a reasonable indica on of the defi ni ve rate of return. This period is generally shorter for buyout funds than for early-stage and expansion funds.
