Los Angeles • Portland • New York Program Overview The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Employees’ Retirement Plan (“WPERP” or the “Plan”) Private Equity Program consists entirely of secondary market fund-of-funds to date. The Program is very young as the initial commitments to private equity were made in 2006. As private equity partnerships are long-term investments that are invested over several years, the Program is expected to continue to grow and evolve over time. Funding Projections The Program’s current long-term target allocation is 4% of the Plan’s total portfolio representing approximately $324 million in current market value. An evolving allocation target has been proposed where the initial private equity asset allocation target would be 1% (representing approximately $81 million in current market value) until June 30, 2008. Thereafter, the target would increase annually until reaching the long-term target. As of 6/30/07, the Program had committed $60 million across two partnerships. Funding models utilized in the 2007 Investment Strategy suggested committing up to $80 million in private equity opportunities per year over the next several years to reach the Plan’s target over a multi-year period. Activity Summary Given near-term formation of the Program, performance to date is not very meaningful. However, both funds have been creating diversified private equity portfolios since investment activity began in 2006. Lexington Capital Partners VI (LCP VI) made its initial capital call on WPERP’s $30 million commitment in June of 2006. As of 6/30/07, LCP VI had drawn down $8.0 million in capital, distributed $1.5 million back to the Plan, and had a market value of $7.4 million. Landmark Equity Partners XIII (LEP XIII) made its initial capital call in November of 2006 and had drawn down $12.9 million in capital contributions, distributed $2.2 million back to the Plan, and had a market value of $11.9 million as of mid-year.

Given the unique cash flows of private equity partnerships and the necessity to continually commit capital to the asset class to reach and maintain target allocations, active private equity programs never become fully invested. Therefore, continued investment activity is required for WPERP to achieve its 4% target for private equity exposure. PCA is in the due diligence process on several fund-of- funds to bring forth for WPERP’s consideration over the near-term. 1 Source: Thomson Venture Economics/NVCA, Universe of All Private Equity by vintage year. 2 P e n s i o n C o n s u l t i n g A l l i a n c e, I n c. Los Angeles • Portland • New York Private Equity Market Overview The U.S. private equity market continues to recover from the difficult time period after the tech bubble burst which negatively impacted the private markets by reducing investor confidence, eliminating exit opportunities, and reducing valuations. The 2007 calendar year is on pace to set a new fund raising record, exceeding the 2006 achievement of over $215 billion in commitments raised.

The last two calendar years have been the largest ever for capital raised in the LBO industry with new record fund sizes being achieved. Buyout funds were on pace to set a new record in 2007 as $108 billion had been raised in the first six months compared to $64 billion in the first half of 2006, representing a 69% increase in fund raising levels. The impact of the summer contraction in buyout financing on fund raising for the remainder of 2007 is uncertain. Large established firms continue to dominate the fundraising. According to Private Equity Analyst, nine U.S.-based buyout firms were raising funds as of mid-year 2007 targeting capital commitments of $5 billion or more. Those nine alone have raised $105 billion to date (including amounts raised in 2006). 3 P e n s i o n C o n s u l t i n g A l l i a n c e, I n c. Los Angeles • Portland • New York After closing on approximately $215.4 billion through calendar year-end 2006, $137.2 billion in aggregate commitments were raised during the first half of 2007.

The proportion of commitments made to venture capital partnerships is slightly below prior levels, which was approximately 16%, due in large part to the significant fund raising activities of the “mega” buyout funds. Fund raising activities continued exhibiting strong trends in the first half of 2007 as approximately $137.2 billion was raised. This is a 70% increase from the $96.4 billion raised during the first half of 2006. 1H 07 vs 1H 06 Commitment Activity by Segment $150,000 $125,000 $100,000 $75,000 $50,000 Commitments (M) Commitments $25,000 $0 1H 2006 1H 2007 LBO/Corporate Finance Venture Capital Mezzanine Fund of Funds Other Private Equity Source: The Private Equity Analyst, thru September Buyout funds continued their domination of fund raising statistics, with 91 funds raising $107.6 billion in commitments. Only $63.8 billion was raised by 58 partnerships during the same time period of the prior year. Venture capital funds, raised $10.0 billion in commitments, less than the $15.8 billion raised in the first half of 2006. Fundraising activities have increased as investors have returned to the private markets and/or increased allocations after weathering the economic difficulties experienced over the past several years. In addition, exit opportunities have become more prevalent, resulting in improved performance and increased distributions to investors. 4 P e n s i o n C o n s u l t i n g A l l i a n c e, I n c. Los Angeles • Portland • New York According to the Venture Economics' U.S. Private Equity Performance Index as of 6/30/07, private equity returns have remained strong. This has resulted in an impressive 19.3% return for all private equity for the twelve months ending 6/30/07. However, the effects of earlier difficulties are still apparent in the five-year private equity return, particularly for venture capital. This five-year period captures some of the poor investment environment after the “tech bubble” burst. Buyouts significantly outperformed venture capital and outpaced the S&P 500 over this time period. Longer-term results (10-year and 20-year periods) continue to be attractive despite the poor return environment during that difficult investment environment.
