Jason Weiner, Germán Gaymer, Jacob BowlandSeptember 23, 2021
Fixed Income: Overview
1
The Fixed Income asset class provides Trust Fund diversification.
IPS Objective for the Core Fixed Income Portfolio:“The core fixed income asset class diversifies the risk of the overall investment portfolio with asecondary goal of capital preservation. The overall objective is to exceed its benchmarkperformance net of fees over rolling five-year periods.”
IPS Objective for the Non-Core Fixed Income Portfolio:“The NCFI asset class diversifies the risk of the overall investment program and is designed toprovide both income and capital appreciation. The overall objective is to exceed its benchmarkperformance net of fees over rolling five-year periods.”
Fixed Income: Overview
2
The Fixed Income Asset Class is separated into two portfolios each with distinct investment goals:
1) Core Capital Preservation
2) Non-Core Income and Capital Appreciation
The Fixed Income Market
3
• The fixed income market represents an investable market of over $125 trillion globally.• The private credit fixed income market surpassed $1 trillion and is an important source of diversification by
generating unique sources of return.• Staff along with our investment consultants conduct extensive due diligence to identify best in class managers to
build a well diversified portfolio to achieve our investment goals.

Rebalances:Completed two portfolio rebalance transactions:
1) Liquidated the $780 million Core-Plus portfolio and rebalanced proceeds across six NCFI managers.> Staff negotiated fee reductions with several NCFI managers given increased portfolio size.
2) Liquidated $1.1 billion in the Core portfolio and rebalanced into Global Public Equities.
Investment Pacing:• Completed two portfolio recommendations for opportunistic credit managers.
1) Closed documentation for $250 million commitment for a distressed credit fund.2) Negotiating documentation for a $250 million commitment for a European private credit fund.
• Implemented the liquidation for a structured credit manager.• NCFI portfolio will be at target on an invested basis.• Expect to deploy approximately $1.2 billion in 2022 across complementary public and private credit strategies
to keep the NCFI portfolio at target of 20% of the total TMRS portfolio.• Continue to assess investments in the expansive private credit opportunity set to potentially achieve a
strategic allocation of approximately 10% of the total TMRS portfolio.

Management fee on 2020 PE Net Asset Value
2.14% Management fees will fall as a percentage of private equity net asset value over time. This is because fees on committed capital not yet invested will become less prevalent.
Private Equity Managers
39 Private equity manager count is higher than other asset classes due to industry structure. TMRS maintains a modest number of relationships compared to its peer plans.

To achieve the newly adopted asset allocation targets real estate pacing will need to
temporarily increase.

The newly adopted asset allocation moved the target from 10% to 12% of the Trust Fund.
To achieve this target, staff will increase 2021 pacing from $800mm to $1,200mm.
In 2022, we expect pacing to return to $800mm per year.

During the pandemic of 2020, TMRS saw real estate valuations pullback due to uncertainty within theoverall economy.

Other Public & Private Markets Update
Eddie SchultzSeptember 23, 2021
OPPM: Some History
2
Since July 2015, OPPM (formerly Real Return) has consisted of both public andprivate investment strategies:
At the July 2015 Board meeting, a new asset allocation was adopted directingReal Return to begin transitioning to private assets. Public security strategies within the asset class would be used to fund private
investments. The public security strategies needed to continue pursuing the CPI + 400bps
objective. The allocation was increased from 5% to 10%.
OPPM: Some History (cont’d)
3
At the June 2021 Board meeting, a new asset allocation and benchmarking structurewas adopted:
“Real Return” was renamed “Other Public & Private Markets.” The long-term return target of CPI + 400bps was removed and the benchmark was
changed to the MSCI ACWI. The allocation was increased from 10% to 12% of the Trust Fund.
OPPM: Some History (cont’d)
4
Throughout, Real Return / Other Public & Private Markets has kept the sameinvestment objective:
Uncorrelated private investments that provide excess return.
Other Public & Private Markets provides exposure to private assets that arefrequently overlooked by traditional private equity but provide excellent downsideprotection while enhancing return.
OPPM Portfolio
5
Private Markets Currently 4.1% of Trust Fund Will reach target allocation of 12% in Q4
2024 (estimated) Target Investment Types:
Infrastructure (Roads, power, etc…) Mining (Copper, lithium, etc…) Energy (Oil & Gas) Agriculture Other (Telecom, healthcare, etc..)
Public Markets Currently 7.2% of Trust Fund Will be reduced to 0% as private
markets call capital to fund commitments.
In Q3 the public market strategies were moved from targeting CPI + 400bps to a passive MSCI ACWI target. This change will greatly reduce fees
and simplify the funding process for private markets.
Pacing Plan
6
The newly adopted asset allocation moved the target from 10% to 12% ofthe Trust Fund. To achieve this target, staff will increase 2021 pacing from $800mm to
$1,200mm. Beginning in 2022, pacing will increase to $1,500mm in order to reach
12% in a timely manner.

Why TMRS Invests in Global Public Equity
2
Global Public Equity provides strong returns, liquidity and broad geographical
exposure with a high level of transparency.
Returns – Generates a consistent income stream of dividends and capital appreciation
Liquidity – Equities can be purchased and sold quickly, allowing access to cash and
portfolio rebalancing
Global Exposure – Provides exposure to some of the largest and most successful
companies across different geographies and sectors
Global Public Equity: Overview
3
Total assets are $14.1B, 38.5% of the total TMRS Trust Fund
Global Public Equity has a blended approach of passive and active strategies:
80% Passive Equity - The passive equity portfolio serves as a diversified core component.
20% Active Equity - The active equity portfolio allows for alpha opportunities.
This combination reduces fees and allows for excess risk adjusted returns.

Retain Top Managers – Selectively reduce underperforming fund managers and target a
final portfolio with 15 of our best performing Hedge Funds

from a ‘fixed income replacement’ strategy

increase as the Hedge Fund portfolio becomes more concentrated
