Executive Summary • Fiscal 2010 has started out quite well. Returns were strong through the first quarter as the S&P 500 rebounded well and the credit markets continued to recover. • LTIP totals back across $1.8 Billion • Concerns about liquidity continue across the University Endowment space with differing levels of pain being felt around the country. OSU liquidity is in excellent shape and we are trying to manage that process very carefully. 2
Q1 FY2010 Performance (July – September 2009) • All three months were strong with performance ranging between 2.6% to 4.4%. For the quarter, our compound return totaled 10.2%. • Equities, Fixed Income, and Hedge Funds have performed well, while Private Equity, Energy and Real Estate have trailed. • The manager portfolio continues to be improved with more focused managers being added and lesser quality managers dropped from service. 3
