Subject: Official Information request - Pension Fund Return

Dear Government Superannuation Fund Authority, My name is Matteo Madrigali, and I am reaching out on behalf of PitchBook Data's research team.
I am currently seeking updated quarterly performance data from your pension plan’s alternative asset holdings for the following date(s):
1Q2010 through the most recent available report.

Thank you in advance for the time you take in sending me the documents, and if there is another person or distribution email I should resend this to, please let me know.
Below follows the formal request.

On behalf of PitchBook Data, Inc., under the Freedom of Information Act, I request a copy of the quarterly public records from 1Q 2010 through the most recent available report for the following information, preferably in Excel or PDF format.

1. Names and vintage years of all private equity, venture capital, mezzanine, distressed, real estate/REIT, debt and infrastructure partnerships in each fund's portfolio.
2. Commitments made to each partnership.
3. Contributions drawn down since inception.
4. Distributions made to each Pension Fund to date by each individual partnership.
5. Net Asset Value of each partnership.
6. Internal rates of return (IRRs) for each partnership with and without the use of credit facility. Please note if the IRRs are not net.
7. Investment multiple (TV/PI) for each individual partnership.
8. The dollar amount of “total management fees and costs paid” for each individual partnership.
9. Date as of which all the above data was calculated.
10. Names of all alternative asset partnerships partially and fully sold by the Pension Funds, including date of sale.
11. For each fund, please indicate whether or not the fund uses Subscription Credit Facilities.

I also request a copy of any documents which contain some or all of the following information:
12. Names of all hedge fund holdings (including hedge fund of funds) in Government Superannuation Fund Authority portfolio.
13. Month by Month Market Value for each hedge fund holding (including hedge fund of funds) since Government Superannuation Fund Authority initial investment up to the most recent available report.
14. Month by Month Contributions to each hedge fund holding (including hedge fund of funds) since Government Superannuation Fund Authority initial investment up to the most recent available report.
15. Month by Month Returns (net of fees) earned by Government Superannuation Fund Authority for each hedge fund holding (including hedge fund of
funds) since initial investment up to the most recent available report.

If there are any fees for searching for, reviewing, or copying the records, please inform me before you task the request. If you deny all or any part of this request, please cite each specific exemption you think justifies your refusal to release the information and notify me of appeal procedures available under the law.

Yours faithfully,
Matteo Madrigali
