Source: MSCI. The chart above covers the period from 11/30/2006 to 1/14/2026. The MSCI World Private Equity Return Tracker Index (the “Index”) was launched on July 15, 2025 (the “Launch Date”). The chart may contain analysis of historical data, which may include hypothetical, backtested or simulated performance results. For example, data with respect to the period prior to the Launch Date includes back-tested performance results (i.e. calculations of how the Index might have performed over such time period had the Index existed). There are frequently material differences between backtested or simulated performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any investment strategy.

The analysis and observations in chart are limited solely to the period of the relevant historical data, backtest or simulation. Past performance — whether actual, backtested or simulated — is no indication or guarantee of future performance. None of the information or analysis herein is intended to constitute investment advice or a recommendation to make (or refrain from making) any kind of investment decision or asset allocation and should not be relied on as such.
