  • Nordic-Capital-Pri-Transparency-Report-2020.Pdf
    RI TRANSPARENCY REPOR T 2020 Nordic Capital An investor initiative in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and UN Global Compact About this report The PRI Reporting Framework is a key step in the journey towards building a common language and industry standard for reporting responsible investment (RI) activities. This RI Transparency Report is one of the key outputs of this Framework. Its primary objective is to enable signatory transparency on RI activities and facilitate dialogue between investors and their clients, beneficiaries and other stakeholders. A copy of this report will be publicly disclosed for all reporting signatories on the PRI website, ensuring accountability of the PRI Initiative and its signatories. This report is an export of the individual Signatory organisation’s response to the PRI during the 2020 reporting cycle. It includes their responses to mandatory indicators, as well as responses to voluntary indicators the signatory has agreed to make public. The information is presented exactly as it was reported. Where an indicator offers a response option that is multiple-choice, all options that were available to the signatory to select are presented in this report. Presenting the information exactly as reported is a result of signatory feedback which suggested the PRI not summarise the information. As a result, the reports can be extensive. However, to help easily locate information, there is a Principles index which highlights where the information can be found and summarises the indicators that signatories complete and disclose. Understanding the Principles Index The Principles Index summarises the response status for the individual indicators and modules and shows how these relate to the six Principles for Responsible Investment.

  • Washington State Investment Board Portfolio Overview by Strategy December 31, 2017
    Washington State Investment Board Washington State Investment Board Portfolio Overview by Strategy December 31, 2017 NOTE: IRRs presented are interim estimates and may not be indicative of the ultimate performance of partnership investments due to a number of factors, such as the lack of industry valuation standards and the differences in the investment pace and strategy of various funds. IRRs tend to be less meaningful in the early years of a partnership's term when underlying portfolio company investments have typically not been realized. The IRRs contained in this report are calculated by Hamilton Lane based on information provided by the general partner (e.g. cash flows and valuations). Such IRR calculations have not been confirmed by the general partners. The result of WSIB’s IRR calculation may differ from that generated by the general partner or other limited partners, primarily due to differences in the date of close, sale of distributed stock, accounting for bridge loans, and valuations.
