1Net IRR is the net return earned by an investor over a particular time frame, including the performance of both realized and unrealized investments, at fair value. 2The Since Inception Net Return for active Separate Accounts (Global Diversified) reflects the net IRR for each Townsend mandate in local currency weighted by the net asset value in USD as of quarter end. Townsend Separate Account mandates have varying 1) vintages, 2) return/risk parameters and objectives, 3) portfolio currencies, 4) investment styles and 5) investment structures. Converting all Townsend Separate Account mandates to USD at a particular quarter end could increase or decrease aggregate performance based on the time of conversion. 3Reflects committed capital as of 3Q16 in USD. TREA Strategy (Global Non-Core) returns, AUM and Core-Plus Strategy (U.S. Core) returns are as of 3Q16, Separate Account returns, AUM are as of 2Q16. The value of unrealized investments is subject to change. The number of unique clients would be less than the number of mandates as a single client could participate in multiple strategies. As of September 30, 2016, Townsend had assets under management of approximately $15.0 billion; and provided advisory services to clients who had real estate/real asset allocations exceeding $173.1 billion.

TREF NFI-ODCE
Core Portfolio Philosophy
TOWNSEND HAS GENERATED CONSISTENT OUTPERFORMANCE IN OUR CORE REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIOS VIA:
Active management and tiered fee savings (average of – 40 bps) in legacy funds, and
A satellite portfolio within Core that accesses alpha-opportunities within sector
INVESTORS CAN LEVERAGE OUR EXPERTISE ACROSS THEIR ENTIRE CORE PROGRAM OR JUST ACCESS OUR “ALPHA” STRATEGIES:
1. Buying at Discounts – leveraging Townsend’s position to create arbitrage opportunities (fund originations, secondaries) where
Townsend has an informational and positional advantage which enables better pricing
2. Best in Class Execution – Townsend partners with specialist operators and has a long track record of successfully selecting strategies
and choosing the most capable partner
3. Making Relative Value Decisions – We evaluate investments seeking the best risk-adjusted returns based on market conditions. This
analysis is done across property sectors and locations as well as throughout the capital stack and across structures. This flexibility and
Townsend’s track record of managing these allocation decisions affords more opportunities to potentially add alpha to Core investing

Unique Characteristics
Experienced Pacific Northwest office operator focused on high growth markets of Seattle, Portland and Denver. Significantly pre-specified portfolio acquired in 2013/2014 with embedded value; no J-Curve due to existing cash flow, small fund size ($250 M), strong alignment of interest, and favorable fee structure of 1% with no catch-up provision.
Experienced manager focusing on core-like assets in the most liquid and transparent European markets. Target assets are mispriced due to life cycle or leasing risk, and may be acquired at discounts relative to core stabilized assets. The portfolio targets an income distribution of 6% after the Investment Period, over average asset hold period of 3-4 years, providing downside risk mitigation, in comparison to longer duration and capex intensive value-add strategies.

The Townsend Group The View of the World – Executive Summary
PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL
Second Half 2016
Economic Uncertainty Remains Elevated
Economic uncertainty continues as global growth projections
trend downwards
Key factors that have further exacerbated an already uncertain
global macro environment are Brexit and downgraded return
expectations in Japan
Monetary policy uncertainty also continues to be elevated
given that many economies are facing negative yields (an
unprecedented environment in modern times)
Further easing from ECB, Bank of Japan, and now Bank of
England, at a time when the U.S. is starting to tighten, could
lead to unexpected outcomes
Emergence of fiscal policy After several years of government
austerity, fiscal policies around the world are becoming more
supportive of growth, an underappreciated turn of events
Political uncertainty is also elevated in light of the new Prime
Minister in the U.K., U.S. elections later this year, and elections
in France and Germany next year
New supply headwinds: U.S. real estate market fundamentals
remain relatively healthy, but, as we cautioned previously, the
property cycle is entering a new phase in which deliveries are
catching up and, in some cases, outpacing demand
A key implication of the above uncertainty has been insatiable
investor appetite for low-risk investments, which is driving
asset values up
Real estate and real assets offer stable income streams that
provide stability to returns in an uncertain time (while also
having the ability to leverage economic growth through capital

Real Estate: Resilient and Reliable in Uncertain Times
NPI return data indicates that the income return of real estate tends to be stable even during periods of distress like the GFC
While capital values do exhibit a higher volatility, experience over the GFC shows that they are very resilient and were quick to
bounce back up after the crisis
Overall, real estate provides the stability of bond returns with the capital growth of equities
The above characteristics make good quality real estate, with sensible leverage, a very suitable asset class during periods of
uncertainty

United States – View of the World
Office: Overall Attractive but Market and Submarket Level Dispersion Exists
The recovering economy and historical
pent-up demand to upgrade are leading
to a healthy demand for leasing in CBD
and other live and work neighborhoods
However, there are significant market
and submarket level differences e.g.,
Manhattan office market is expecting
good growth, San Francisco rents look
stretched, and Houston rents could
decline
Select markets like Atlanta, Nashville,
Raleigh, etc., with a mixed historical
record, might be better positioned as
cap rates are relatively high; however,
there are several submarket level
differences that need to be considered
in these markets
Overall, supply remains muted but early
indications of elevated supply in the
future have started to emerge; as such,
investors should avoid pockets of
oversupply and/or investing in buildings
that may be unable to compete with the
new supply in the future

Residential: Forecasts Revised Downward
Period of economic uncertainty is currently
dissuading households from making capital
commitments to houses
However, stretched affordability has started to
limit apartment rent growth
Rising supply is also having an impact; however,
recent pullback in banks’ appetite for apartment
construction lending is having some moderating
effect on supply
Even after expected Fed rate hike, mortgage rates
will continue to be low, which is leading to modest
preference for home ownership
Continued secular shift in preference to urban
locations and apartments
Seniors also have displayed a strong preference
for change in lifestyle to living in apartments and
other senior housing facilities
Senior housing is also exhibiting high supply, which
is likely to hurt poor-quality assets
Given the low cap rates in the sector and slowing
rent growth, we prefer to focus on renovating
Class B assets to higher quality, or preferred
equity in high-quality developments

Retail: Significant Shift in Buying Behavior and Retailer Landscape
Retail landscape is changing dramatically as pure play internet and brick and mortar retail shops are transformed, and omnichannel retailing emerges
Private equity groups now control major retailers such as BJ’s Wholesale, Neiman Marcus, Petco, and Toys “R” Us, signaling major transformation
Tenants such as Sears, J.C. Penney, HHGregg, and Toys “R” Us are all struggling to remain profitable and survive, a trend that can have a major impact on the landscape
The rising stars of the new landscape include: 365 by Whole Foods, Eddie V’s, Blaze Pizza, Lilly Pulitzer, Bonobos, Chelsea Collective, and Warby Parker
Going forward, securing the right mix of tenants located in select metros will be the key to successfully adapting to the new retail market
While supply is muted, it is likely to pick up in the future; therefore, it is critical to focus on densely populated regions

Industrial: Supply and Demand
Completion Net Absorption Vacancy
Industrial: Supply Rising But Select Attractive Investment Pockets Exist
Improving trade situation is impacted by a
stronger dollar (benefiting imports), which, along
with rapid growth in time-sensitive e-commerce
logistics, is providing a strong tailwind of leasing
demand
However, the specs (larger than historical norm)
and desirable locations (closer to dense locations),
continue to evolve, rendering some existing stock
obsolete
The supply in the pipeline is for modern spec
warehouses, which are in short supply, and are
threatening Class B assets and those in poor
locations
Vacancy rates remain low, and as such, rents are
expected to continue to rise; Green Street
Advisors forecasts NOI will rise by 2-4% p.a. over
the next three years
Investors holding poor-quality industrial assets
should look to trade out of those and into higher-
quality assets (albeit at a higher price) as the poor-
quality assets run the risk of obsolescence

Hybrid Strategies: Real Estate Debt Offers Attractive Returns
In a low interest rate environment, real estate debt offers attractive alternatives with reasonable risk given that U.S. real estate is
experiencing an upward cycle of rent growth
Debt for transitional assets offers attractive returns given that CMBS issuance is scaling back amid very high levels of expiries and
banks are unwilling or unable to increase real estate exposure; however, poor asset selection could result in downside in the
event of an unexpected slowdown
Senior debt for development also offers attractive returns as banks are not that active, but caution is needed to avoid good assets
in poor locations with elevated leasing risk
Preferred equity with kickers is a good way to enhance returns without full equity risk, but such options are typically only possible
on transitional assets or assets that require major renovations
Opportunistic debt strategies could have a wide range of outcomes; execution options could be very limited

Europe – View of the World
Brexit: Near-Term Risks, Long-Term Opportunities
Expect prolonged uncertainty: Parliament’s vote to
legalize Brexit is still pending (what if Parliament
doesn’t support?), and the exact U.K. exit path is being
negotiated with the EU
Evolving political environment: A new Prime Minister
and government in the U.K. and the impending 2017
elections in France and Germany could redefine Brexit-
related politics
Bank of England’s swift response: First rate cut (25
bps) since 2007, an aggressive quantitative easing
program, and a new Term Funding Scheme to provide
cheap funding to banks/lenders
Macroeconomic implications: Near-term growth
revised down, some capital and hiring plans put on
hold, consumer confidence and spending likely to be
hurt
Short-term real estate impact: Foreign capital interest
likely to be reduced, local investors may take profits
and rebalance to more liquid asset classes leading to
near-term capital value declines
Medium-term real estate impact: Going forward, the
U.K. is likely to come up with a trade deal that
facilitates the flow of goods and people with the EU,
therefore we will be ready to take advantage of any
distressed opportunities
Continental European market implications:
functioning normally and may experience incremental
benefits as a result of some functions being relocated

London Office: Expect Near-Term Weakness
The demand outlook for central London office space has been revised downward as a result of Brexit
Vacancy is expected to increase in the near-term, as firms delay leasing decisions or even relocate entirely, until a trade deal has been reached with the EU
Additionally, excess supply within the development pipeline will compound issues and create a temporary overhang in the short-term
Expect new supply to peak in 2017/2018 as developments in the early phases will likely get mothballed
While there seems to be no rush on the part of institutional investors to sell property, there might be a gradual buildup of selling pressure in the months to come
Consequently, cap rate expansion is possible in the order of 25-75bps given the current yields in the 3.5-5% range
Other major U.K. office markets like Manchester might also suffer, given that the cap rates in those markets came down and meaningful supply is in the pipeline
We prefer to wait for better valuations to emerge, or prefer a more senior position in the capital stack like preferred equity

Germany: Leverage Offers High Cash-on-Cash Yields
Germany and many parts of Continental Europe are
likely to experience lower economic growth (vs. the
U.S.), which is likely to keep rent growth muted over
the medium-term even though the short-term outlook
is better
However, Germany and many other Continental
European markets enjoy a significant cost of capital
advantage given the low cost of debt
Even with low net initial yields of 4-4.5% and 1.5% cost
of debt, a 65% LTV investment will yield a high single
digit cash-on-cash yield, which for such a risk is a
compelling return
Additionally, after the decline in the sovereign yield, the
spread has materially widened, making a further yield
compression scenario likely
For Core opportunities, unlevered return expectations
are in the 5-6.5% p.a. range, which provides a healthy
levered return
Core Plus and Value-Added opportunities that generate
good income early on in the investment cycle, but have
repositioning and re-tenanting opportunities, provide
net returns in the 10-15% p.a. range

France: Attractive Opportunities Amid Low Growth
Historically wider spread between government bonds and real estate yields to support valuation and investor interest
While the expected economic growth and resulting market rent growth continue to be low, two types of opportunities are
attractive in this market. First, the benefit of the low cost of debt results in high cash-on-cash yields; and second, repositioning
opportunities given existing stock is generally old and needs renovation
Paris office market rents are forecasted to bottom out, and the city is also likely to be a modest beneficiary of Brexit
Modest improvement in economic growth is also likely to benefit the industrial and logistic sectors, which are also likely to see e-
commerce driven tailwinds

Japan: Low Cost Of Debt Driving High Cash-Yielding Opportunities
Japan is expected to experience a very low growth rate
of 0.5-0.6% p.a. over the next few years; and the long-
term demographic trends are also unfavorable, leading
to a gradual decline in the working population
However, and somewhat as a result of the above, the
cost of debt is very low (around 50bps) for good quality
income producing assets with reasonable leverage
Consequently, the real estate sector offers high single
digit cash-on-cash yield
Additionally, the old stock is in need of repositioning,
which provides enhanced Value-Add returns
Despite low growth, office vacancies have been
declining, driven by stock obsolescence. These
vacancies are forecasted to rise as low cost debt infused
new supply begins to hit the market; at risk will be older
buildings that do not meet tenants’ evolving needs
Similarly, the industrial sector, which has witnessed
strong e-commerce and improving trade-driven take-
up, is also witnessing elevated levels of supply—again
most at risk are old spec buildings that don’t meet the
requirements of the third-party logistic companies
driving the demand for rental properties
While Japan offers several good investment
opportunities, those investors chasing higher yields in
low-quality product might be at risk from new supply

Australia: Macro Growth Driven Attractive Investment Opportunities
Australia’s population growth rate of 1.8% p.a. is one of
the strongest amongst developed countries leading to
3% p.a. GDP growth, which, while lower than historical
levels, is still very strong
Property cap rates have declined relative to history, but
most of that decline is in response to a lower interest
rate environment – cap rates, even at current levels,
are above those in other Core markets such as New
York, London, and Tokyo
Leasing demand for office space continues to be strong,
resulting in declining vacancy rates; while supply is
building, it is unlikely to have a major impact before
2020
Demand for industrial space is fueled by the growing
economy and e-commerce; yields of good assets in
secondary locations or smaller assets in dense locations
are in the high 7% to low 8% range, which is a healthy
premium over the less than 5% cost of debt
Demand for retail leasing is also healthy as the retail
sales growth rate is around 4-5% p.a.; however, prime
locations are owned by superannuation funds, REITs,
and other very long-term institutional investors driving
investors to secondary assets with re-positioning
potential
Australian banks, under regulatory pressure to reduce
exposure to the real estate sector, are pulling lending
back, leading to attractive mezz financing opportunities

Singapore: Macro Growth-Driven Attractive Investment Opportunities
Singapore’s growth rate is likely to pick up from its
current 1.5% p.a. level to closer to 2.7% p.a. over the
next 2-3 years
While Singapore has seen modest growth in the
number of visitors, retail sales growth has been
lackluster reflecting visitor preferences to spend on
experiences vs. retail goods and services
In the office sector, massive deliveries over 2013-2014
in the Asian Square and other areas have lead to 15-
20% decline in rents; as the pace of new deliveries
slows down considerably, it is expected that rents will
bottom out
However, cap rates continue to be in the high 3% to
low 4% range, similar to levels in Tokyo, but the
Singaporean cost of debt is much higher than in Japan,
leading to lower investment cash yields
Retail and industrial properties are also witnessing low
to no rent growth due to unfavorable current macro
conditions, while both sectors have low cap rates
Some emerging sectors like self-storage offer better
growth and return prospects
For now, we continue to monitor opportunities
especially as growth starts to pick up

Disclosures and Definitions
The NFI-ODCE Index is a capitalization-weighted, gross of fees, time-weighted return index with an inception date of 1/1/1978. Published reports may also contain equal-weighted and net of fees information. Open-end funds are generally defined as infinite-life vehicles consisting of multiple investors who have the ability to enter or exit the fund on a periodic basis, subject to contribution and/or redemption requests, thereby providing a degree of potential investment liquidity. The term Diversified Core Equity style typically reflects lower risk investment strategies utilizing low leverage and generally represented by equity ownership positions in stable US operating properties (as defined herein). The NFI-ODCE is a quasi-managed index based on the periodic review by the Index Policy Committee ("IPC") of the index's criteria thresholds.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market capitalization weighted index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation to represent U.S. equity performance.
The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency).
Index figures do not reflect deduction of fees, expenses, or taxes. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Value-Added: Funds that generally include a mix of core investments and others that will have less reliable income streams. The portfolio as a whole is likely to have moderate lease exposure and moderate leverage. As a result, such portfolios should achieve a significant portion of the return from appreciation and are expected to exhibit moderate volatility.
Opportunistic: Funds of preponderantly non-Core investments that are expected to derive most of their returns from appreciation and/or which may exhibit significant volatility in returns. This may be due to a variety of characteristics such as exposure to development, significant leasing risk, high leverage, or a combination of risk factors.

GENERAL DISCLOSURES
There can be no assurance that any account will achieve results comparable to those presented. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
Returns reflect the equal-weighted returns calculated during the periods indicated. Note: If including Core, this is value-weighted. In addition, the valuations reflect various assumptions, including assumptions of actual unrealized value existing in such investments at the time of valuation. As a result of portfolio customization/blending and other factors, actual investments made for your account may differ substantially from the investments of portfolios comprising any indices or composites presented.
Due to the customized nature of Townsend’s client portfolios, the performance stated may be considered “hypothetical” as it does not reflect the experience of individual client portfolios, but rather aggregate client positions in the stated investment strategy.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of September 30, 2016, Townsend had assets under management of approximately $15 billion. When calculating assets under management, Townsend aggregates net asset values and unfunded commitments on a quarterly basis. Townsend relies on third parties to provide asset valuations, which typically takes in excess of 90 days after the quarter end. Therefore, assets under management have been calculated using September 30, 2016 figures where available but may also include June 30, 2016 figures. Assets under management are calculated quarterly. Regulatory AUM is calculated annually and available in our ADV or upon request.
ADVISED ASSETS
As of September 30, 2016, Townsend provided advisory services to clients who had real estate/real asset allocations exceeding $173.1 billion. Advised assets includes real estate and real asset allocation as reported by our clients for whom Townsend provides multiple advisory services—including strategic and underwriting advice for the entire portfolio. Advised assets are based on totals reported by each client to Townsend or derived from publicly available information. Advised assets are calculated quarterly. Select clients report less frequently than quarterly in which case we roll forward prior quarter totals. The recent change in Advised Assets is due to a change in the reporting of certain special projects.

Note: Investment level net IRR’s and equity multiples are reported. Net IRR is the net return earned by an investor over a particular time frame, including the performance of both realized and unrealized investments, at fair value. The Net IRR is based upon daily investor level cash flows, current quarter net asset value as hypothetical liquidation mark, and is after the deduction of fees. Investment performance data is reported to Townsend on a quarterly basis by the underlying investment manager. The value of unrealized investments is subject to change.
Net Investment Multiple: Based upon daily investor level cash flows. Calculated as ([Since Inception Distributions + Since Inception Withdrawals + Net Asset Value])/Paid in Capital).
The Townsend Group’s Investment Committee (IC) collaboratively makes all strategic investment decisions affecting Townsend’s client portfolios.
