Minutes of the Meeting of the Investment Advisory Council March 27, 2017

The Investment Advisory Council of the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) met on March 27, 2017 in the Andrew Jackson Building. Council Member George Stadler called the meeting to order at 10:08 AM. Other Investment Advisory Council members present were Treasurer David H. Lillard, Jr. (ex officio), Ms. Susan Logan Huffman, and Ms. Carol Womack. Investment staff members present included Mr. Michael Brakebill, Derrick Dagnan, Tim McClure, Michael Keeler, Thomas Kim, JP Rachmaninoff, Roy Wellington, Daniel Crews, Stephen Wright, Kushal Gupta, Jim Robinson, Roger Henry, Jennifer Selliers, Matt Haitas, David Bradbury, Neha Sakaria, Jacob Perry, Andrew Messer, and Rhonda Myers. Mr. Brakebill gave an overview of the new investment policy, targets, and strategic changes in allocations. He also reviewed performance as of December 2016 and compared it relative to policy benchmarks and pension funds over several time periods. Next, Mr. Keeler gave an update on domestic equities. He described the main focus which was on addressing issues in the Quant Fund as well as the Sector Fund. As a result, the Quant Fund is now 50 basis points ahead of the benchmark. Finally, Mr. Keeler discussed allocation changes in various portfolios. Mr. Wellington then reviewed International Equities; five managers were hired and funded. The transition trade took place starting the beginning of October and finished the third week of October. Performance tracking of the managers began October 2016. Ms. Womack questioned the selection process and Mr. Stadler asked if TCRS visits the managers when selecting them. The evolution of the manager selection process was discussed; trailing performance was reviewed and manager tenure was prescreened, and questionnaires were issued. The questionnaire response rates were higher than usual due to a streamlined process. Mr. Kim discussed the performance of each fixed income portfolio and overall short positioning versus the recent moves in interest rates. He focused on the low performance of mortgage backed securities and decided more of a focus would be placed on security selection and coupon stack selection going forward. He also reviewed the total return fund’s outperformance via short floating rate assets combined with treasury futures. Ms. Huffman questioned the allocation to treasuries as well as the position in the capital structure. Finally, she inquired about liquidity. He mentioned a rotation from both the corporate bond and MBS portfolios into short ABS and the top of the capital structure. Finally, he and Mr. Brakebill reviewed the reduction of the TBA strategy from $350 million to $200 million. Mr. Rachmaninoff reviewed the real estate portfolio which is now 8% of the entire portfolio. Occupancy rates are relatively high with office buildings at 89.3% and industrial buildings at 98.7%. Compared to the NPI, TCRS is underweight retail and office exposure and overweight apartment and industrial buildings. The group continues to lighten their suburban office exposure. Geographically, they continue to have limited exposure to the Northeast due to difficulties buying real estate in New York City and are overweight Texas, mainly Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Mr. Crews reviewed the Private Equity Portfolio’s strong performance, 3.1% for the quarter, 12% annualized. Compared to other pension fund private equity returns, TCRS is the median return over the

1

past quarter. On a longer time horizon, TCRS has been second to MassPRIM over the last one, three, five and ten years. Over the coming quarters, the team expects the NAV for leveraged buyouts and growth equity to increase and the NAV for Venture capital to decrease. Annually, the team is currently committing $600 million per year and this is expected to increase to $1.2 billion to achieve the target allocation while continuing to keep quality and performance in mind. Ms. Huffman and Ms. Womack questioned the fee difference between co‐investment versus fund investment. Mr. Crews responded with a discussion on fees, co‐investment, and performance. At this point, Mr. Stadler called a motion to approve the minutes from November 18, 2016. The minutes were approved. Mr. Dagnan then discussed program changes in the strategic lending portfolio. Ms. Huffman asked if the investments are in comingled or separate funds. Mr. Dagnan said $1.6 billion are in nine accounts that TCRS controls and the rest are in locked up vehicles. Fourth quarter performance was driven mainly by a rebound in high yield, namely oil, metals, and mining companies. However, underperformance versus the index came from being in high quality assets while a risk on environment allowed low quality assets to outperform. Going forward, they will look to sell high yield liquid loans and evaluate illiquid opportunities. He discussed two particular investments; renew their investment in a mining finance fund and a European bank capital release strategy. Mr. McClure gave a brief cash cycle update. Cash currently stands at 1% of the portfolio. Trading was down 36% in the fourth quarter of 2016 versus the previous quarter. Commissions were down 34% with the number of brokers constant at twenty‐six. Securities on loan increased from $5.4 billion to $5.5 billion at the end of the quarter. He also discussed the transition to T+2 settlement. Ms. Huffman asked about any challenges that might come about with this. Mr. McClure did not foresee any risks or challenges. Upon seeing no further questions or comments, Mr. Stadler adjourned the meeting at 11:45 AM.

Relative Return %Estimated Tracking Error 1.38%

The Sector Fund is positioned for continued economic growth; this leads to the small overweight to Industrials andInformation Technology and the larger underweight to the defensive sectors Consumer Staples, Real Estate, Utilities andTelecomm Services. The Financials overweight is becoming problematical as the pace of rate hikes is beginning to outrunthe return to growth. The Trump-bump, or the anticipation of reflationary growth seems to be on pause while the merits of acorporate tax cut get debated.

The Sector Fund benefited from Information Technology emphasis on semiconductors as several companies reported betterthan expected earnings and issued strong forward guidance. Consumer Staples held back performance as merger activitystruck the tobacco companies while our focus was on valuation. The Sector Fund will assign a new analyst to cover Staplesand Utilities beginning in the third quarter.

Micron Techonology was the strongest in a strong semiconductor group. Investments made in its latest 3-D NAND memoryproduct paid off in a strong memory market as manufacturing ramped up quickly.

Relative Return % Estimated Tracking Error 1.09%

The Mid Cap Fund outperformed S & P Mid Cap 400 during the period. Good stock selection in the Financial, Health Care andConsumer Staples sectors helped relative performance while difficulties in the Technology sector detracted slightly from value added against the benchmark. Stock selection accounted for all of the excess return during the quarter as industry sectorallocation was a slight drag. .

Daniel Crews, CFA CAIA

We have finalized our fiscal 2Q2017 results (the period ending 12/31/16), and are pleased to report that the program continued to demonstrate exceptional performance on an absolute basis. On a relative basis, performance trailed strong public equities markets in 2016, as well as our peer benchmark.

The following chart shows the total exposure to each strategy based on Net Asset Value through the end of December 2016. By total exposure (Unfunded Commitments + NAV), the portfolio is very close to our target weights for each segment of the portfolio. Over the coming quarters we expect our NAV to increase for Leveraged Buyout and decrease for Venture Capital, moving back towards longer-term strategy targets.

Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System Strategic Lending Portfolio

Fiscal Q3 2017 Update Jeffrey Dunn, CFA

As of the 31st of March, TCRS has allocated approximately $2.6 billion with $1.9 billion being invested in the strategic lending portfolio. The portfolio consists of $1.6 billion invested in nine larger separate accounts which can be either cancelled and liquidated or put into run-off status on short notice. The other $0.3 billion is invested in eleven co-mingled funds which are less liquid, lock-up vehicles.

Strategic Lending Portfolio Allocation by Investment Type

Market Outlook

During the fiscal third quarter of 2017, the liquid U.S. below-investment grade market continued to rally from the trough made in early February 2016. Performance for the liquid markets was strong for both January and February while

31

March saw a pause as participants absorbed the implications of the failure of the President’s healthcare reform initiative on the rest of the administration’s policy agenda. The Barclays High Yield Bond Index returned 2.7% and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index returned 1.2% during the quarter. For the fiscal year-to-date, the bond index returned 10.3% and the loan index returned 6.7%. The relative outperformance of bonds was driven by the stabilization of energy and commodity prices leading to a risk-on environment while loans typically exhibit less exposure to changing credit conditions. The Strategic Lending benchmark (50/50) outperformed the Barclays US Treasury Inflation-Linked Notes Index by 8.7% in the fiscal year-to-date and by 0.7% in the quarter. During the fiscal third quarter, the U.S. below investment grade credit markets experienced a continued rebound with a more robust new issue calendar and fund inflows. The exception to the strength was March, as oil prices declined on the back of concerns OPEC production cuts may not be extended past the June 2017 expiration. Much of the activity was driven by re-financings and re-pricings of existing securities. Expectations for default rates continue to fall for those issues unrelated to retail industry as the retail index performance has been negative for fifth month in a row. With respect to the private debt market, we continue to see new entrants into the market pushing yields lower and covenants weaker. Staff feels it is increasingly important to favor investment teams that have the ability to control documents and terms in their transactions. Given how aggressively levered finance markets have rallied, staff believes liquid markets are relatively less attractive on a risk-adjusted return basis than the illiquid markets for the foreseeable future. Recent Developments

During the fiscal third quarter, there were no new allocations. However, staff increased an allocation to private real estate debt and partially redeemed from a public markets mandate. At this time, staff continues to favor loans over bonds, senior over junior debt and illiquid over liquid investments. Future Activity

Recently, staff has been focused on diversifying the portfolio and re-underwriting existing mandates that are up for renewal in 2018. Additionally, staff continues to focus on portfolio monitoring, process, procedures, internal investment capabilities, and other key program initiatives.

TCRS Operations Update March 2017 Tim McClure, CTP

Trading – TCRS’s Equity Trading Group transacted approximately 110 million shares and $6.5 billion of notional value during the time period of January 1, 2017 – March 31, 2017. When compared with the previous 3 month period, these numbers illustrate a 15% decrease in shares volume quarter over quarter, and a 7% decrease in notional value. Twenty five brokers were used during this time period, representing one less counterparty than the previous quarter. Broker performance is monitored to ensure best execution practices. The Equity Trading Group uses Abel Noser’s Transaction Cost Analysis to help verify the trading desk’s analysis with hard data on broker performance. Total commission dollars spent during the quarter were approximately $1.44 million. This represents a +2.8% increase in commissions from the previous quarter ($1.44 million vs $1.40 million). However, when compared with the same period last year, commission spending is down 33%. This is likely due to reduced market volatility and contracting trading volumes across multiple sectors and asset classes. Operations – Operations supports the Treasury Managed Fund and the additional responsibilities associated with the program, such as the reconciliation process that is critical to the accuracy of the daily operation. The conversion to the State Street Bank EAOS platform for custodial services has been completed. While the process was time-consuming, the end result should be a more efficient relationship between TCRS and the bank. Regular meetings are scheduled to review the relationship and discuss areas for improvement when recognized. Staff has begun a review of changes that will be necessary for the conversion to T+2 for most domestic trades on September 5, 2017. Securities Lending – The TCRS securities lending program has been using Deutsche Bank as its securities lending agent since January 30, 2014 (over 39 months). As of March 31, 2017, TCRS earnings since inception totaled $84 million ($6.1 million of that was earned 1st quarter 2017). All cash collateral continues to be invested in indemnified repurchase agreements. The average on loan balance since inception was $5.5 billion with a spread of 53 bps. The average on loan balance for Q1 2017 was $5.3 billion with spread of 53 bps. The largest earnings contributor since inception was Domestic Equities making up 43% of the total (31% as well for Q1 2017) followed by Emerging Market Equities 26% (27% Q1 2017), Fixed Income 23% (36% Q1 2017), and International Equities 8% (6% Q1 2017). With regards to balances in the 1st Quarter 2017, the top 5 borrowing counterparties were Merrill Lynch (representing 14.3% of the total on loan balance), Goldman Sachs (13.9%), Citigroup (10.8%), JP Morgan (10.8%) and Morgan Stanley (9.5%).

The other two places were held by the following: Ishares MSCI Mexico (2.7% or $2.27 million) and Ubiquiti Networks (2.6% or $2.18 million).
