Description of Performance Attribution

A measure of the source of the deviation of a fund's performance from that of its policy benchmark. Each bar on the attribution graph represents the contribution made by the asset class to the total difference in performance. A positive value for a component indicates a positive contribution to the aggregate relative performance. A negative value indicates a detrimental impact. The magnitude of each component's contribution is a function of (1) the performance of the component relative to its benchmark, and (2) the weight (beginning of period) of the component in the aggregate. The individual Asset Class effect, also called Selection Effect, is calculated as Actual Weight of Asset Class x (Actual Asset Class Return –

Asset Class Benchmark Return)The bar labeled Allocation Effect illustrates the effect that a Total Fund's asset allocation has on its relative performance. Allocation Effect calculation = (Asset Class Benchmark Return –Total Benchmark Return) x (Actual Weight of Asset Class – Target Policy Weight of Asset Class). The bar labeled Cash Flow Effect describes the impact of asset movements on the Total Fund results. Cash Flow Effect calculation = (Total Fund Actual Return –

Total Fund Policy Return) –

Current Selection Effect –

Current Allocation EffectThe bar labeled Benchmark Effect results from the weighted average return of the asset classes' benchmarks being different from the Total Funds’ policy benchmark return. Benchmark Effect calculation = Total Fund Policy Return – (Asset Class Benchmark Return x Target Policy Weight of Asset Class)Cumulative EffectCumulative Effect calculation = Current Effect t *(1+Cumulative Total Fund Actual Return t-1) +Cumulative Effect t-1*(1+Total Fund Benchmark Return t)

Outlook Going Forward

Bubble monitor signals: None (with Gold and Treasury Bonds closest)

Expected Global Equity returns below average, but above Bonds

International equity markets appear better long-term value than U.S. equity markets

Small Cap stocks offer the least long-term value

Larger and higher quality stocks appear more attractive

Market recovery cycle now at three years

Generally following historical patterns

Only 7 of 21 up cycles lasted longer than three years

Equity valuation higher than at the bottom, but not extended

Government economics and political factors have been increasingly influential

U.S. Dollar has depreciated by 13% since March 2009

Top 5% on a risk-adjusted basis

Key initiatives have gone well

Both the SPN and externally managed portfolios above market(s)

28 Executive Summary Review Outlook Conclusion Appendix

Page 61: INVESTMENT PRESENTATIONS TO THE TRS … Documents/board_meeting_investments...TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF TEXAS MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES AGENDA June 7, 2012 TRS East Building, 5th

Conclusions Looking Forward Next three years are unlikely to repeat previous period

Current bubbles: None

Longer term equity market valuations have eroded

From above average to below average

Lower quality and smaller companies appear least attractive

Higher quality and larger companies may offer “fair value”

Fixed income values are low and spreads are normal

Fixed income returns unlikely to outperform equity over next 5-10 years

Credit spreads have returned to approximately normal

Real asset valuations have generally improved relative to other investment areas

Debt levels and political trends are increasingly problematic

29 Executive Summary Review Outlook Conclusion Appendix

Page 62: INVESTMENT PRESENTATIONS TO THE TRS … Documents/board_meeting_investments...TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF TEXAS MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES AGENDA June 7, 2012 TRS East Building, 5th

Conclusions Looking Forward IMD abilities and investment processes have matured and increased

Organization has significant new capabilities

Restructuring to increase focus on future required returns

Sharpening accountability within each of the three main strategies (Stable Value, Global Equity, Real Return)

Increasing focus and resources on strategic relationships, principal investments and resource related investments

Continuing to attract and retain top investors committed to operating within the TRS IMD culture and to using “The Texas Way”

SuperSet of IMD priorities focused on the future rather than the past

Debt levels and political trends are increasingly problematic
