Dear Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, 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.

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.
