In 1998, CalPERS conducted a search for an advisor to manage a program to expand our access to venture capital funds. Grove Street Advisors was selected through a competitive process to manage this program called California Emerging Ventures (CEV). Over time, CalPERS expanded this program with CEV II, CEV III and CEV IV and the program's charter was broadened to include the full range of private equity funds.

  1. Not Meaningful: Funds with a vintage year of 2018 or later are in the initial stages of their investment life cycle. Any performance analysis done on these funds would not generate meaningful results as private equity funds are understood to be long-term investments.
  2. Partnership investment is using a cash adjusted market value.
