Executive Summary

Performance Summary - March 2014
First quarter fund performance was due to relatively muted performance from the equity markets, due to weak global economic data, and a bounce-back from the
global fixed income market, which benefited from the volatility and uncertainty surrounding the equity markets.
Plan Assets
The investment menu provides a combination of single strategy funds and diversified portfolios including a balanced fund and target retirement date funds. The
retirement dates range from 2010 through 2060 in five year increments.
Manager Evaluation
Vanguard is a market leader and well known for its low cost market index and institutional investment funds. In February 2014, Vanguard announced that the
Vanguard Growth Equity Fund merged with the Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund. The merged fund will keep Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund's current subadvisors,
Delaware, Wellington, and William Blair, while adding Vanguard Growth Equity Fund's subadvisors, Bailie Gifford and Jennison, effectively increasing the
number of advisors from 3 to 5. Pavilion will continue to monitor the manager for further developments. There no were major changes to the other investment
options. More detailed analysis of the managers' performance can be found in the Manager Evaluation section.
Of the three active managers available in the investment menu, Vanguard U.S. Growth and Vanguard International Growth were the weakest relative performers.
The managers trailed their respective style benchmarks by 40 and 130 basis points during the first quarter, as stock selection within the technology sector was a
main detractor for both strategies. The large-cap value and mid-cap segments were the best absolute performers for the quarter. Target retirement date funds
modestly trailed their respective benchmarks over longer-termed periods.
Capital Markets Review
Macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns sent the global equity markets on a roller coaster ride during the first quarter. In the beginning of the quarter, risk
aversion grew, equity markets tumbled, and emerging market currencies sold off. However, in February and March, as emerging market currencies stabilized and
U.S. market weakness was attributed to the brutal winter weather, equity markets rebounded and produced modest gains for the quarter. Stronger corporate
earnings also helped spark the turnaround. Within the domestic equity market, value companies significantly outperformed growth companies, while large-cap
companies outperformed small-cap companies. Nonetheless, the strongest returns came from the mid-cap segment. Moreover, defensive sectors, including
utilities and health care, saw the strongest rallies. In the developed international equity market, it was a tale of two continents, where the European region, in
particular the Nordic countries, experienced robust results while the Asia-Pacific region, in particular Japan, produced negative returns. The fixed income market
bounced back considerably from poor 2013 results. All major fixed income benchmarks produced positive total returns during the quarter, as the yield curve
flattened during the quarter.
Recommendations or Action Items
No recommendations at this time. Pavilion will prepare an investment structure review to be presented at the November 2014 Finance Committee Meeting.

Capital Markets Review

Weather and Russian Aggression Drive Markets
•Intense weather patterns affected the U.S.economy to a greater extent than seen in many
years.The Federal Reserve tied weather extremes to nearly every major data point in
their outlook for first quarter growth,setting expectations lower for GDP segments not
tied to energy.
•The western half of the U.S.was hit with a withering drought,which challenged farmers
to find alternative irrigation sources.Cities imposed strict limits on residential water
usage,and the country braced for higher fruit prices emanating from under-producing
California farms.Ranchers struggled to find adequate grasslands for livestock,even as
herds were thinned over the past several years.Beef prices hit a multi-year high as a
result.The eastern U.S.struggled through a winter that offered heavy snowstorms and
bitter cold with ruthless repetitiveness.Consumers sheltered in their homes more often
than usual,turning malls and auto showrooms into ghost towns for days at a time.Retail
sales were hurt during the quarter,but as the temperature warms,consumers are likely to
release their pent-up shopping desires.
•Housing construction has remained relatively level over the past year,with volatility
increasing in the southern U.S.The South depends on northern transplants to bolster
housing construction.As recent graduates faced a tough job market,their usual home

buying pattern shifted causing more to rent or live with parents.Older homebuyers rely
on younger buyers mo ving up in home size in order to sell their own homes,and as the
pattern has been disrupted,homebuilders have faced weaker demand.
•Emerging markets faced continued headwinds from slogging commodity prices,
excepting energy.China’s manufacturing sector contracted as domestic demand and
exports weakened.A tepid Eurozone and struggling emerging economies contributed to
China’s export weakness.
•The Fed taper pressured foreign currencies as central banks struggled to either match
U.S.dollar mo vements by tightening or standing pat and dealing with rising inflation.
Turkey’s central bank chose to raise interest rates,against the wishes of the Turkish
leadership,which was afraid of a public backlash.As the Federal Reserve stimulus had
to wind down at some point,countries whose currencies are tied to the U.S.dollar knew
that they would need to follow suit or face economic headwinds.
•Russia’s invasion of Crimea sparked worldwide condemnation.Sanctions imposed by
the U.S.and its allies sent the Russian stock market tumbling while the ruble shed over
10%of its value for a short time.The Russian economy is likely to enter a recession as
trade suffers.Europe worried about natural gas supplies,fearing that Putin could stop
exports in retaliation of the sanctions.

First Quarter Equity Roller Coaster Ride Ends With Modest
Gains
•The global equity markets experienced a fair amount of day-to-day volatility caused by
macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns that included Janet Yellen’s testimony on potential
interest rate increases and Russia’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula.Early in the quarter,
risk aversion grew,equity markets tumbled,emerging market currencies sold off,and
economic data out of China and the U.S.was relatively weak.The markets,however,turned
bullish in the latter half of the quarter as emerging market currencies stabilized,the outlook for
military intervention in Ukraine waned,and weak U.S.data was attributed to brutal winter
weather.The rally helped the S&P 500 Index gain 1.8%during the quarter.Internationally,
developed markets outperformed emerging markets for the sixth straight quarter as the MSCI
EAFE Index advanced 0.7%while the MSCI EM Index returned -0.4%.
•During the first quarter,value companies significantly outperformed growth companies.From
a capitalization perspective,large-cap companies outperformed small-cap companies,however
the strongest returns came from the mid-cap segment.Sector performance was mixed.Within
the Russell 3000 Index,defensive sectors were the top performers,including utilities (+9.5%)
and health care (+5.7%).The utilities sector’s high dividends attracted investors in today’s
low interest rate environment.Consumer discretionary (-2.1%)was the only sector to register0%

low interest rate environment.Consumer discretionary (-2.1%)was the only sector to register
a loss during the period,as harsh winter weather kept consumers home.
•The MSCI EAFE Index advanced 0.7%during the first quarter.The European region (+2.1%)
and,in particular,the Nordic countries (+4.7%)and EMU (+2.8%),performed best as
investors cheered slow but stable economic growth and reduced austerity measures.Signs of
economic improvement aided markets in peripheral countries Italy (+14.6%),Ireland
(+14.0%),and Portugal (+9.7%).The Pacific region (-2.5%)was weighed down by Japan (-
5.6%),as investor sentiment towards aggressive fiscal stimulus faded.
•Emerging market equities experienced pronounced volatility and fell in the first quarter.The
MSCI EM Index returned -0.4%.A strong rally in the latter half of the quarter almost offset
losses experienced in January when developing countries’currencies faced selling pressure.
Despite currencies stabilizing later in the quarter,slowing Chinese economic growth and
political uncertainty in Russia and Ukraine weighed on performance across the developing
world.China (-5.9%),Korea (-2.2%),and Russia (-14.5%)were major detractors among
developing countries while Indonesia (+21.2%),India (+8.2%),and Thailand (+7.4%)were
notable contributors.
•Over the past two years,price-to-earnings ratios have risen on improving fundamentals and
investor confidence.U.S.equity valuations are now near their long-term averages.Non-U.S.
equity valuations,however,remain below long-term averages,with emerging market
valuations appearing least expensive.

Bond Bears Snooze in Q1
•Long-term U.S.Treasury yields declined amid soft economic data and ongoing stress in
select emerging markets.The yield curve flattened during the quarter as short term yields
rose marginally while ten and thirty year rates declined 31 and 40 basis points (bps),
respectively.Bond markets continued to fixate on every comment released by the Federal
Reserve.Short-term rates increased in March after the Fed implied it may begin raising
rates sooner than investors anticipated,only to fall after Janet Yellen said rates might rise
six months after tapering ends.Nevertheless,all major fixed income benchmarks produced
positive total returns during the quarter,as longer duration assets benefited from declining
long-term rates while continued yield appetite supported credit-related sectors.The
Barclays Aggregate Index returned +1.8%in Q1,while other top performing market
segments included long government/credit (+6.6%),municipals (+3.3%),and high yield
(+3.0%).
•Investment grade credit spreads narrowed from 111 bps to 103 bps during the quarter and
the sector generated duration-adjusted excess returns to Treasuries of 75 bps.Spreads
grinded tighter amid healthy corporate fundamentals,low default rates,accommodative
global central bank policy,and investors’ongoing appetite for yield.Investment grade
credit spreads,as represented by the Barclays U.S.Credit Index,are currently well-below
the ten ye ar average and at the tightest level since the third quarter of 2007.Approximately

the ten ye ar average and at the tightest level since the third quarter of 2007.Approximately
$300 billion of new investment grade corporate bond issuance came to market during the
quarter,and many deals were three-to-four times oversubscribed,indicating continued
insatiable demand for credit.Below investment grade credit sectors also benefited,as high
yield corporates and bank loans generated total returns of +3.0%and +1.1%,respectively.
•The Agency MBS sector produced a total return of +1.6%during the quarter but lagged
duration-adjusted Treasuries by 24 bps as spreads widened and a variety of technical forces
impacted the mortgage market.Since the end of 2013,the Fed has reduced its monthly
mortgage purchase amount from $40 billion to $25 billion per month,the latter of which
accounts for approximately 70%to 80%of gross new issuance.Supply also pulled back as
rising mortgage rates,coupled with severe winter weather,contributed to decreased new
purchase applications and refinancing activity during the quarter.Supported by more
favorable supply/demand dynamics,CMBS and ABS spreads tightened 19 and 6 bps,
respectively,leading to positive duration-adjusted excess returns to Treasuries.Non-
Agency MBS produced positive returns during the quarter,as the sector continued to
generate interest given attractive loss-adjusted yi elds,appreciating home values,and a lack
of new issue supply.
•Non-U.S.developed government bonds advanced during the quarter,returning +2.4%in
local currency terms and +3.2%in U.S.dollar terms.Emerging markets were shaky to start
the year as fears of QE reduction and heightened political tensions in the Ukraine,Turkey,
and Venezuela led to a broad sell-off in January.However,most emerging markets
recovered in February and March,leading to quarterly returns of +3.7%in hard currency
bonds and +1.9%in local currency emerging debt.Source: Barclays

Hedge Funds Navigate Choppy Markets
•Hedge funds generated positive returns during the first quarter’s choppy market environment,with
the HFR Hedge Fund Composite Index up 1.1%.The MSCI All-Country World Index suffered a
large sell-off in January (-4.0%)fueled by renewed concerns about slowing economic growth and
political turmoil in many emerging market countries.Hedge funds largely protected capital during
the downturn,with the Hedge Fund Composite Index losing only 50 basis points during the month.
A sharp reversal in investor perspectives led to solid hedge fund gains in February (+1.9%),albeit not
enough to keep pace with global equities (+4.9%).March,however,proved to be more challenging
for hedge funds to navigate,as a late month correction among long equity holdings that had
previously outperformed hurt returns.Nonetheless,all strategies other than Global Macro remain in
the black for the year.
•Global equity markets experienced big swings over the five trading days from March 20 to March 27,
and long/short equity managers struggled during this period.According to Goldman Sachs,the
weekly return of its “GS VIP”Index,which is comprised of the 50 stocks that most frequently appear
among the top ten hedge fund holdings,had one of its worst weeks since 2001.The only periods
where the Index performed worse were the market retreats in 2002,2008’s market meltdown,and the
2011 debt ceiling debacle.Despite headwinds in March,the HFR Equity Hedge Index finished the
quarter up 1.3%,slightly ahead of the MSCI All-Country World Index.
•In a continuation of 2013’s trend,distressed hedge fund strategies were the top performers during the

•In a continuation of 2013’s trend,distressed hedge fund strategies were the top performers during the
quarter (+2.7%).Many distressed hedge fund managers,particularly those that historically focused
on U.S.investments,are building out European-focused distressed debt teams as interest in the
heavily discounted bonds of bankrupt European companies has grown steadily.The rising number of
distressed assets being put up for sale by banks and other financial institutions in Europe has
provided hedge fund managers with increased opportunities.
•Global macro strategies continued to struggle during the first quarter.Managers that take long and
short positions in futures contracts accounted for the majority of the HFR Global Macro Index’s
decline.Highly levered exposure to equity markets hurt performance in January when the equity
markets sold off,while long exposure to bonds,metals and energy negatively contributed during
March.On an annualized basis,the trailing three-year return of the Global Macro Index was a
disappointing -4.6%.
•The hedge fund industry has achieved near-record level assets under management.According to data
compiled from eVestment,total hedge fund industry assets climbed 10%in 2013 to $2.86 trillion,
modestly below the all-time high of $2.94 trillion reached in June 2008.
•Despite total hedge fund capital back up to near-record levels,new hedge fund launches during 2013
fell to their lowest level in three years according to the latest HFR Market Microstructure Industry
Report.In addition,fund liquidations increased to their highest level since 2009.Also notable was
the very wide performance dispersion between top and bottom decile managers across many hedge
fund strategies during 2013.The top decile of all HFR Index constituents reported a gain of 41.6%
compared with a decline of 18.9%for the bottom decile.Wide dispersion of manager returns
continued through the first quarter.

Returns as of December 31, 2013
Private Real Estate Returns Steady; Commodities Shrug Off
Geopolitical Tensions
•With interest rates and inflation holding steady at historically low levels,2013 was the
fourth consecutive year of double digit gains for private real estate (and sixteenth
consecutive quarter of positive gains).The NCREIF Property Index (“NPI”)returned
2.5%in the fourth quarter and 11.0%for the year,lagging the broader equity market but
surpassing the bond market.Appreciation and income each achieved returns over 5%for
the year with capital appreciation driven mostly from cap rate compression as net
operating income was flat on average.Industrial and retail properties outperformed other
property types for the year.Within retail,sector returns continue to be bolstered by
regional and super regional malls while the warehouse subsector has led industrial
properties.
•Despite achieving strong and steady performance over the last four years,the private real
estate market still has yet to achieve the same level of fundraising experienced pre-2008.
According to Preqin,during 2013 only $76 billion in capital was raised among 162
funds,however,this was an improvement over 2012.
•In a reversal from 2013,domestic REITs generated an 8.8%return in the first quarter
compared to 1.8%for the S&P 500 due to solid quarterly earnings reports and a

compared to 1.8%for the S&P 500 due to solid quarterly earnings reports and a
continued low interest rate environment.International REITs were challenged (-1.2%)
by several factors including emerging markets growth concerns,particularly China,and
Ukraine geopolitical headlines.Investors remain wary on the outlook for REITs with a
backdrop of rising interest rates despite strong fundamentals.The real estate market
continues to witness little new construction,which has led to declining vacancy rates and
rent increases,in turn,improving earnings growth and rising dividends.
•Commodity markets bounced back during the first quarter of 2014 with a return of 7.0%,
which was well ahead of both equity and bond markets.Harsh weather throughout much
of the nation,fears of shortages due to geopolitical tensions in Ukraine,and declining
stockpiles of agricultural goods were all driving factors for the quarterly gain.
•Softs were the best-performing sector in the Index,up 21.4%,and were driven by coffee
(+58.2%)due to drought conditions in Brazil.Livestock and grains each were up over
16%during the quarter.In particular,concerns over potential embargos or military
action drove up the prices of wheat and corn as Russia and Ukraine are large producers.
Additionally,Kansas,which accounts for approximately 20%of total U.S.wheat
production,suffered extreme drought conditions further elevating prices.Industrial
metals were the worst-performing sector,down 4.6%.Weak manufacturing data from
China,a stronger dollar,and some signs of a strengthening U.S.economy exerted
downward pressure on the metals subsectors.

•Private equity performance data in the ThomsonOne database has yet to be updated for the
fourth quarter of 2013.During 3Q13,buyout funds modestly outperformed public equity
markets,producing a pooled IRR of 5.4%versus 5.2%for the S&P 500.Venture capital
funds lagged the S&P 500,producing a pooled IRR of 4.1%.Mega buyout and late stage
venture capital funds were the strongest performers for the quarter while small buyout was
the worst performing fund segment.Buyout funds exceeded the return of public markets
over the trailing one-ye ar period while venture capital funds trailed the S&P 500 by a large
margin.However,there was a considerable performance disparity between early and late
stage funds for the one-year period,as those segments produced pooled IRRs of 4.7%and
18.5%,respectively.
•In total,private equity funds raised nearly $84 billion during 1Q14,9%less than the prior
quarter but 20%more than the same period last year.After a flurry of activity in the second
half of 2013,buyout funds had their lowest quarterly fundraising total since 3Q12,raising
approximately $33 billion.Conversely,venture capital funds experienced a substantial
improvement during 1Q14,raising more than $13 billion,an 89%increase from the prior
quarter and nearly double the amount raised in the same period last ye ar.U.S.venture firms,
which dominate the venture capital space,raised $9.4 billion during 1Q14,their highest
quarterly total in more than six years.

•During 1Q14,buyout firms announced the fewest number of deals in a quarter in four years.
According to Preqin,688 buyout-backed deals were announced during the first quarter,
down from 769 deals in the prior quarter and 733 deals in the same period last year.
However,the aggregate value of buyout-backed deals increased by 31%during the quarter
as the average deal size significantly increased.
•Buyout-backed exit activity declined in 1Q14 relative to the prior quarter but remained
strong relative to historical averages.According to Preqin,there were 310 buyout-backed
exits with an aggregate exit value of $87 billion in 1Q14,compared to 395 exits worth $94
billion in the prior quarter and 324 exits worth $52 billion in the same period last year.Since
the beginning of 2006,there has been an average of 266 exits worth $58 billion per quarter.
•The first quarter of 2014 saw continued strength for the venture-backed IPO market led by
the biotechnology sector.According to Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital
Association,there were 36 venture-backed IPOs in 1Q14,the highest quarterly total since
2000 and the fourth consecutive quarter with more than 20 venture-backed IPOs.Biotech
companies represented 19 of the 36 IPOs that occurred during 1Q14.Venture-backed M&A
activity increased modestly during 1Q14,as 105 venture-backed M&A deals were
completed versus 92 deals in the prior quarter and 86 deals in the same period last year.The
average deal size for venture-backed M&A deals reached $259 million in 1Q14,the highest
