For illustrative purposes only. Source: Burgiss, Bloomberg as of 3/31/24. Private Equity represented by the Burgiss Private Equity Manager Universe for the period 4/1/03 to 3/31/24. Burgiss data reflects quarterly timeweighted returns. Burgiss data is sourced from limited partners of these private funds and calculates results net of fees and carried interest, providing results that are updated and published on a quarterly basis. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. Private market data often relies on self-reporting by managers. Therefore, there may be survivorship bias given that fund managers have discretion to report, or to discontinue reporting for various reasons (e.g. due to liquidation), and therefore private market data may reflect a bias towards funds with track records of success. This information is furnished to you with the express understanding that it does not constitute: (i) an offer, solicitation or recommendation to invest in a particular investment in any jurisdiction; (ii) a means by which any such investment may be offered or sold; or (iii) advice or an expression of BlackRock’s view as to whether a particular investment is appropriate for you and meets your financial objectives.

The Burgiss Private Equity Manager Universe (BMU), Private equity represented by the Burgiss Private Equity Manager Universe (BMU) which contains 7,606private equity funds (vintages 1978-2023) as of June 2023 with 6/30/23 performance data (most recent performance data available). All vintages were included. All private equity sub-strategies in the BMU were included e.g., Equity Generalist, Equity Venture Capital Generalist, Equity Venture Capital Late Stage, Equity Expansion Capital, Equity Buyout, Equity Venture Capital Early Stage and Unknown as well as Equity Unknown. The BMU reflects quarterly time-weighted returns. The BMU is sourced from quarterly unaudited and annual audited financial statements that private investment fund managers produce for their fund investors. Therefore, there may be survivorship bias given that fund managers have discretion to report, or to discontinue reporting for various reasons (e.g. due to liquidation) and therefore may reflect a bias towards funds with track records of success. To protect the confidentiality of individual funds and their underlying portfolio investments, the published benchmark statistics reports contain only aggregate information. Therefore, the BMU is not transparent and cannot be independently verified given that it does not identify the funds included by name. Private investments in the BMU are typically illiquid. Additionally, any updates to historical data to this data universe, which can include adding a fund and its performance history to the database (“backfills”) and/or updating past information for an existing fund due to late-arriving, updated, or refined information, would be reflected when that group is published for the next performance. The Burgiss Private I Universe Analytics tool recalculates the data each time a new fund is added, therefore the historical performance of the data is not fixed, cannot be replicated, and will differ over time from the data presented in this communication.
