The fair value of those assets totaled $11.5 billion at fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. For the same period ending June 30, 2010, net assets totaled $9.7 billion. heT fis- cal year ended June 30, 2011 delivered solid investment returns to the plans as the investment environment continued to present oppor- tunities to investors. Even as ISBI exceeded its actuarial assumption for another year, the portfolio was still confronted with challenges, as the global economic environment struggled to find its footing amidst much uncertainty. Portfolio Issues Following a number of years in which favorable investment returns were difficult to achieve, fiscal year represented a period ofositive p performance with the ISBI portfolio generating returns of 21.7%. In spite of these favorable returns the portfolio was confronted with a number of difficult and complex issues. Liquidity Similar to fiscal year 2010, besides navigating a challenging investment environment, ISBI had to also manage through liquidity chal- lenges brought about by inconsistent funding of the retirement systems. The State of Illinois funded the retirement systems through the issuance of general obligation bonds in February of 2011. However, ISBI had to transfer funds to the retirement systems sufficient to pay benefits in each of the eight months prior to the receipt of bond proceeds. These transfers created significant challenges to the portfolio as the Board was often obligated to sell assets into less than ideal markets. Securities Lending Improvements to ISBI’s securities lending program that commenced in fiscal year 2010 continued in fiscal year 2011. In particular, the Board retained Credit Suisse as a third party provider of securities lending services. In so doing ISBI restructured its securities lending program, in particular how revenue was derived and how collateral was deposited. Previously, cash collateral was deposited into an investment pool with the investment return being shared between ISBI and the securities lending provider, historically the Board’s cus- todian. In the relationship with Credit Suisse collateral will be held in a custody account and revenue will only be derived through the lending transaction. The result will be a securities lending program with much less risk, but with a corresponding reduction in revenue.

ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF INVESTMENT 3 Investment Results In fiscal year 2011 investors benefitted from positive returns in U.S. equity, U.S. equity hedge funds, international equity, fixed income, real estate and private equity as measured by market indices. The ISBI total fund was up 21.7% for fiscal year 2011, net of expenses. This follows a positive return of 9.1% for fiscal year 2010, with negative returns of 20.1% and 6.2% for fiscal years 2009 and 2008,nd a a positive return of 17.1% for 2007. The Board continues to be concerned by some under-performance by specific managers; however, most of the Board’s current manag- ers have exceeded their individual benchmarks since inception. Figure 2 shows results over the three, five and ten year time periods. U.S. Equities For the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 the Russell 3000 Index, a broad representation of the U.S. market, was up 32.4%. Growth stocks exceeded value stocks with the Russell 3000 Growth Index up 35.7%, compared to the Russell 3000 Value Index up 29.1%. Small capitalization stocks outperformed large capitalization stocks with the Russell 2000 up 37.4% compared to a 30.7% return for the S&P 500. ISBI’s U.S. equity portfolio was up 33.9% for fiscal year 2011; 1.5% above the Russell 3000. Figure 2 shows ISBI’s U.S. stock portfolio performance for three, five and ten year time periods. The Board, through structure analysis, rebalancing and risk management, continues tracking the market with predictable consistency to achieve its objective.
