Powell Judy Baar Topinka Ronald E. Powell Judy Baar Topinka ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF INVESTMENT 2 LETTER TO TRUSTEES The General Assembly Retirement System The Judges’ Retirement System of Illinois The State Employees’ Retirement System of Illinois The Illinois State Board of Investment (ISBI or Board) has fiduciary responsibility for the pension assets of the General Assembly Retirement System, the Judges’ Retirement System of Illinois and the State Employees’ Retirement System of Illinois. ISBI’s net assets totaled $ 11.3 billion at fair value at fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. For the same period ending June 30, 2005, those assets totaled $ 10.9 billion. While ISBI’s assets benefited from an 11.0% return, portfolio growth was markedly reduced by transfers out to pay participant benefits. Investment Policy Most of the new activity in fiscal year 2006 took place in the illiquid asset classes. Two core separate account real estate relationships of $300 million each were established, and $180 million was committed to six enhanced/high return real estate funds. Four long/short hedge fund of fund managers were selected with allocations of $100 million apiece. Private equity allocations totaling $115 million were made to four funds during the fiscal year. During fiscal 2006, public market searches led to the addition of four new relationships, and the termination of two.

ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF INVESTMENT 3 Fixed Income 23% U.S. Equity 47% Private Equity 4% Cash 2% U.S. Equity Hedge Funds 4% Real Estate 10% International Equity 10% Investment Results In fiscal year 2006, investors benefited from strong returns in all asset classes with the exception of fixed income. The ISBI total fund was up 11.0% for fiscal year 2006, net of expenses. This follows a 10.1%, 16.4% and 0.3% return for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and a loss of (6.9)% for fiscal 2002. The long-term objective of the 8.5% assumed actuarial interest rate was surpassed, with the portfolio trailing the composite benchmark return by 0.5% in fiscal year 2006. The Board continues to be concerned by some under- performance by specific managers; the overall performance of the fund meets or beats the expectations as expressed in the 2003 asset allocation model. Figure 2 shows results over the three, five and ten year time periods. U.S. Equities For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, the Wilshire 5000 Index, a broad representation of the U.S. market, was up 10.0%. Value stocks substantially exceeded growth stocks, with the Russell 3000 Value Index up 12.3%, compared to the Russell 3000 Growth Index up 6.8%. Small capitalization stocks outperformed large capitalization stocks, with the Russell 2000 Index returning 14.6% compared with the S&P 500 Index at 8.6%. ISBI’s U.S. equity portfolio was up 10.7% for the fiscal year, 0.7% above the Wilshire 5000 Index. The Board, through structure analysis, rebalancing and risk management, continues to achieve its objective of tracking the market with predictable consistency. Figure 2 shows ISBI’s U.S. stock portfolio performance for three, five and ten year time periods. The ten-year average annual return of 8.8% shows that even considering the losses in prior years, the U.S. stock market has rewarded the long-term investor.

International Equities The Morgan Stanley EAFE Index returned 27.1% for the fiscal year; approximately 17 percentage points above the U.S. return. As a result, international markets were the strongest performing asset class in fiscal year 2006. Further, ISBI’s international equity portfolio was up 28.9%, exceeding the benchmark for the fiscal year by 1.8%. As with the U.S. equity portfolio, the Board has the twin objectives of limiting tracking error relative to the benchmark and adding value with active management. The returns for longer time periods are shown in Figure 2. Fixed Income The ISBI fixed income portfolio had a positive return of 0.8% for the fiscal year compared to the Lehman U.S. Universal Bond Index which returned (0.3)% for the year. The Board believes ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF INVESTMENT 5 % Investment Returns June 30 20 Total Fund 15 Composite Benchmark 10 CPI 5 0 -5 -10 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 that the structure adopted in December 2003 will minimize negative surprises, such as those experienced in the past, and result in more predictable fixed income returns. Figure 2 shows the long-term results for fixed income. Real Estate ISBI’s real estate portfolio earned a 19.5% return. The NCREIF Real Estate Index, a measure of core, operating, non-leveraged real estate, earned 18.7%. Prior to the 2003 asset allocation model, the Board’s real estate policy was to exploit higher risk, higher return value-added or opportunistic strategies. However, over the last three years the Board has increased the real estate strategic allocation from 5% to 10% of the total fund with the new allocation targeting 70% of its real estate to core, income producing real estate, with the balance in higher return strategies. ISBI’s real estate portfolio is invested primarily through interests in limited partnerships, trusts, and other forms of pooled investments. ISBI is in the process of converting a sizable portion of its real estate portfolio to separate account structures. Long- term results for real estate are shown in Figure 2. Private Equity ISBI’s private equity portfolio provided a return of 21.3% for the fiscal year. The private equity portfolio consists of interests in limited partnerships and other commingled vehicles that invest in venture capital, management buyouts, and other private placement equity strategy activities.

  • December 15, 1999 Issue (Dig121599.Pdf)
    1 SEC NEWS DIGEST f i Issue 99-240 December 15, 1999 COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS SEC PROPOSES RULE TO BAN SELECTIVE DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL INFORMATION; ADOPTS RULES TO ENHANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE EFFECTIVENESS The Commission today proposed new rules to ban selective disclosure of material information and to clarify insider trading rules, and adopted rules to enhance the effectiveness of corporate audit committees. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Arthur Levitt said, "The all-too-common practice of selectively disseminating material information is a disservice to investors and undermines the fundamental principle of fairness. This practice leads to potential conflicts of interest for analysts and undermines investor confidence in our markets. Sixteen months ago, I voiced concerns over what I saw as an emerging culture of gamesmanship within the financial reporting process. A culture that allowed the pressure to meet earnings expectations to come before long established precepts of financial reporting, and ethical restraint. The rules we passed today are positive steps in the direction of even greater integrity in the financial reporting and public disclosure process." Rules Proposed to Ban Selective Disclosure and Clarify Insider Trading Laws * Selective Disclosure: The Commission proposed a new rule, Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure), which would bar companies from selectively disclosing material information. * Use/Possession Issue: The Commission proposed a new rule that says insider trading liability arises when a person trades while "aware" of material nonpublic information. Under current law, courts have split on the issue of whether insider trading liability requires trading while in "knowing possession" of material nonpublic information, or proof that the trader "used" the information in trading.
