same time period, broken down if possible by:

The COVID-related market downturn resulted in PIE investments returning significant losses in
the 2021 to 2023 period with a corresponding reduction in tax paid. The losses incurred by exit
and quarterly MRPs generated refunds to the PIEs (loss x investors’ PIR) which then increase
the value of investors’ interests in the PIE by the value of the cash-out.
