DIVERSIFIED REAL ASSETS MANAGER SEARCH

CITY OF BALTIMORE FIRE & POLICE EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM

September 2019

Kristin Finney-Cooke, CAIA, Senior Consultant Kevin Leonard, Partner Andrew Brett, Director of Real Asset Research

BOSTON | ATLANTA | CHARLOTTE | CHICAGO | DETROIT | LAS VEGAS | PORTLAND | SAN FRANCISCO REAL ASSETS PLAN RECOMMENDATION

• NEPC recommends the following investment pacing model to achieve the target allocations: – 2019: Committed $30 million to a LaSalle Income & Growth Fund VIII; commit $40 million to a diversified real assets fund(s) and redeem $20 million from core real estate

• NEPC has provided four managers that have been profiled in the book to be interviewed as finalists – Landmark, Private Advisors, Brookfield and JLC

• NEPC recommends two managers be selected for the 2019 diversified real asset fund mandate, each receiving ~$20M – Landmark or Private Advisors – Brookfield or JLC

• Landmark and Private Advisors are both multimanager real asset strategies focused primarily on investing through secondaries and co- investments – Landmark will have a infrastructure focus – Private Advisors will focus across the real assets spectrum (e.g. energy, infrastructure, metals and agriculture)

• Brookfield and JLC are both high quality infrastructure funds

2 REAL ASSETS

• “Real assets” refers to the ownership of a hard asset and/or access to a natural resource – There are many sub-strategies within real assets, and most can be accessed through public or private markets

• Hard asset sub-strategies can include: – Real Estate – Infrastructure – Timber – Agriculture

• Natural resource sub-strategies can include: – Energy (extraction and/or transportation) – Metals (extraction and/or transportation) – Commodities

• Real assets are typically included in a portfolio for diversification benefits, to offer a partial hedge against inflation, and/or to maximize total return – Investor objectives (which vary) can inform sub-strategy allocation targets – Some investors include inflation-linked securities (such as TIPS) in a real assets portfolio due to the inflation sensitivity

3 REAL ASSET MARKET AND 2019 VIEWS

General Market Thoughts • Select opportunities remain for Energy • Attractive opportunities in Infrastructure and related operating businesses – Focus on “buy-fix-sell” strategies and managers with operating expertise – High valuations for large transactions create poor entry points for core exposure – Higher yielding opportunities may exist in niche sectors (e.g., aviation leasing) • Improving Metals & Mining fundamentals but implementation is challenged • Agriculture fundamentals interesting but limited manager universe • Limited opportunities in Timber given low yields and liquidity

Implementation Views Strategy Outlook Commentary Continue to see select attractive private equity opportunities; small Energy Positive players can be more nimble; large allocators can be strategic with acquisitions Continue to find attractive opportunities and a need for capital outside of Infrastructure Neutral/ core assets; favor managers with operating expertise who can drive asset (core/non-core) Positive cash flow growth and/or managers targeting yield-oriented niche assets Renewables Neutral Favorable macro tailwinds supportive, but regulatory risks remain Focus on managers with geological and technical expertise; limited Metals & Mining Positive implementation options Agriculture Positive Slowing appreciation creates attractive entry point; difficult to implement Timber Negative Less attractive due to low yields and illiquidity

4 INFRASTRUCTURE OVERVIEW

NEPC, LLC INFRASTRUCTURE OVERVIEW

Infrastructure assets are generally defined as physical facilities or networks that provide essential goods or services to a broad range of users ➢ Infrastructure assets may be owned privately or through publicly traded securities

• Infrastructure assets may generate a return through a combination of current income and/or capital appreciation

• Characteristics of Infrastructure Assets – Long duration assets with stable cash flows typically tied to inflation – Monopolistic or quasi-monopolistic assets with significant barriers to entry – Operate in regulated environments – Capital intensive assets with high replacement costs

• Large infrastructure investable universe – Over $69 trillion of global infrastructure investment required by 2035 – Over $580 billion of total capital raised by closed-end fund managers since 2005 – Publicly traded infrastructure equities account for over 350 companies globally, with a combined market cap in excess of $3 trillion

• Investments can be made across the asset lifecycle – Greenfield, brownfield, and operating assets

9 ROLE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN A PORTFOLIO

NEPC, LLC GOALS OF INFRASTRUCTURE ALLOCATION

Income

• Stabilized assets generate predicable cash flows meaning a significant percentage of returns can be generated from cash distributions

Inflation Protection

• Inflation-linked cash flows provide natural hedge to rising liabilities

Diversification

• Low correlation to other asset classes

Downside Protection

• Attractive total return potential with lower volatility generates attractive risk-adjusted returns and serves as downside protection

11 PORTFOLIO FIT

• Infrastructure investments fit into an overall portfolio as a standalone allocation or as part of a broader allocation – Infrastructure – Real Assets – Alternatives – Inflation-Hedging

• Depending on the sub-strategy, some infrastructure strategies share characteristics with real estate and/or private equity – Similarities to private equity: • Operationally-intensive • Portfolio company management team in charge of day-to-day operations – Similarities to real estate: • Fees for service are predictable and stable • Inflation-adjusted revenue streams • Asset location as a key consideration or advantage

• Some infrastructure investments may also be considered as part of a real estate allocation – Some infrastructure asset classes are more real estate-like than others; for example: • Senior Housing (real estate or social infrastructure) • Data centers (real estate or communications infrastructure)

12 CONSIDERATIONS

• Infrastructure is not a “one size fits all” asset class; the mix of various risk/return strategies should be customized based on client objectives

• In constructing an infrastructure portfolio there are several key considerations that impact the allocation, including: – Plan investment policy – Plan inflation sensitivity – Allocation to illiquid alternatives – Liquidity requirements of plan – Existing infrastructure investments

• A global infrastructure investment strategy may benefit from diversification as various regions are at different points in an economic cycle – Global managers tend to be large platforms with investment professionals around the world while non-US managers may be more localized in a particular region or country

• However, there are some considerations of investing in infrastructure outside of the US: – Currency risk – Geopolitical risk – Market liquidity risk – Limited inflation hedge

13 RISK & RETURN FACTORS

• There are several factors to consider when assessing the overall risk and return of an infrastructure investment

14 DIVERSIFICATION BENEFITS

• Infrastructure is expected to perform differently than other asset classes because of the defensive characteristics of the assets that create more stable cash flow streams

• Private infrastructure has exhibited low correlation to stocks and bonds – Private infrastructure also has low correlation to other alternative asset classes

• Infrastructure investments generate cash flows with a positive sensitivity to changes in inflation • Revenues can be more or less predictable based on the asset’s business model

• The long lives of infrastructure assets should provide a hedge against inflation

• Contractual price escalators or concessions with price inflation-indexed escalators allow income to adjust with inflation

16 PORTFOLIO BENEFITS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Benefits Considerations

• Infrastructure often provides a correlation to • Investments are generally illiquid, particularly inflation and the opportunity for enhanced during falling markets yield versus fixed income investments • Limited and imperfect benchmarks exist to • Infrastructure offers stable returns relative to gauge investment performance for unlisted other investments, while value-add investment infrastructure performance offers the chance for higher returns • Valuations methodologies can vary with limited • Infrastructure investments typically have long transparency, and asset appraisals can lag real- term and predictable cash flows. revenue time market valuations models differ by investment type, but cash flows can be government backed • Infrastructure assets are operationally intensive and require active asset management • Infrastructure offers diversification from other asset classes, it has been shown to have a low • Rising interest rates can effect valuations level of correlation with traditional investments • The use of leverage can amplify negative performance INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

• In addition to portfolio considerations (such as liquidity and leverage), there are many market considerations as well: – Commodity prices – GDP sensitivity – Geopolitical risk and stability – Capital market risk (including debt pricing/availability, market volatility, etc.)

• Some infrastructure assets have revenues that are monitored and/or set by a regulatory body, which adds additional risk – Unpredictable regulatory change can impact margins – Deregulation of a particular market may result in an asset/business losing its status as a legal monopoly and lead to new competition – Asset managers with extensive operational experience in a particular sector tend to have strong relationships with the regulatory agencies • This should allow for ongoing dialogue with the regulators, and should result in a better understanding of potential changes to the regulatory environment

• Other risks directly associated with infrastructure investments can include: – The possibility of disruptive technologies – Environmental risk – Operating risk – Legal risk IMPLEMENTATION

2121 TYPICAL CLOSED-END FUND LIFECYCLE

• Fundraising, (0 – 2 years) – The time period that is used by the manager to raise sufficient funds for the strategy. – Investors make “Commitments” to fund investments over time.

• Investing (years 1 – 5) – This is time period that managers use to source investment opportunities. The Fund will make investments during the “Investment Period,” generally the first four or five years of a fund’s life. – Business plans are put into place as the manager seeks to add value. If an investment does not meet expectations the managers will take steps to mitigate the impact of losses. – Current income may be paid out during the Investment Period (depending on the strategy), though early distributions may be recalled.

• Harvesting (years 3 – 10) – The time period that managers use to exit the investments through one-off asset sales, portfolio sales, IPOs, and other exit opportunities. – The proceeds of the realizations are distributed to the fund’s investors according to a pre- determined schedule, or distribution waterfall, which includes the payment of to the manager (if applicable).

• Liquidating (years 7 – 14) – The manager uses this time to exit the remaining investments in the portfolio. – If the fund life is extended beyond its initial term (as stated in fund legal documents), management fees may be negotiated lower.

25 SECONDARIES

NEPC, LLC REAL ASSET SECONDARIES OVERVIEW

• Secondaries strategies acquire interests in existing funds and partnerships invested in underlying infrastructure and real assets – Acquisitions typically occur several years into a fund’s investment period, at which point underlying investments are identified and the harvesting period has begun – Provides broad exposure to multiple funds and partnerships

• Secondary transaction drivers – GP consolidation, LP staff turnover and administrative burdens, LP liquidity constraints, and portfolio rebalancing

• Benefits – Accelerated Distributions • Timing of investment to realize near-term cash flow reduces the effects of the “J-curve” – Fund Diversification • Broad variation available across strategy, geography, manager and vintage year – Favorable Pricing • Acquire investments at discount to current intrinsic value

• Considerations – Limited control – Double layer of fees – Limited manager universe – Potential look-through issues

27 REAL ASSET SECONDARIES OPPORTUNITY SET

Growing Opportunity Set • Total unrealized NAV and dry powder in the private infrastructure and real asset space reached over $1.1 trillion in 2018

• Large stock of seasoned real assets has led to growth in secondary transaction volume from $2.4 billion in 2014 to $6.5 billion in 2018
