I. RFP Summary StatementThe State Universities Retirement System of Illinois (SURS) requests proposals from qualified investment management firms to provide a non-U.S. equity product which, after fees, exceeds the return of the MSCI EAFE Index or the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. Index. The information is requested with regard to the System’s Manager Development Program, which was created in an effort to assist the development of minority- and women-owned investment management firms.

II. Background Information

Agency DescriptionSURS is the administrator of a cost-sharing, multiple employer public employee retirement system. SURS membership includes employees of the public universities and other affiliated organizations. Currently, SURS membership totaled more than 180,000 active, inactive and retired participants. SURS maintains both a defined benefit and defined contribution plan. Proposals are being solicited for the defined benefit plan.

Defined Benefit Plan Investment ProgramSURS investment program, as of January 31, 2008, totaled $15.3 billion. The target asset allocation as of January 31, 2008 is as follows:

U.S. Equities – public markets 39.5%U.S. Equities – private markets 5.0%Non-U.S. Equities 18.5%Global Equities 5.0%Fixed Income 21.0%Real Estate 6.0%TIPS 5.0%Opportunity Fund 0.0%

As of January 31, 2008, non-U.S. equity holdings totaled $2.7 billion, of which $982 million (6.4%) is passively managed.

Legislated Investment Restrictions Relating to the Republic of the Sudan and IranIn 2007 the Illinois General Assembly passed Public Act 95-0521, restricting investment in companies domiciled in, managed or controlled by, or doing business with the Republic of the Sudan. SURS investment managers are required by law to abide by the restrictions. Appendix A

contains a letter sent by SURS to its investment managers and provides information relating to these Sudan-related investment restrictions.

Additionally, information pertaining to the Iran divestment law, Public Act 95-0616, approved by the Illinois General Assembly on September 11, 2007 can be found at http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=095-0616

III. Specific Services Requested from the Investment ManagerSURS is requesting proposals from qualified investment managers to manage a non-U.S. equity strategy as part of the System’s Manager Development Program. The Manager Development Program was created in an effort to assist the development of minority- and women-owned investment management firms. The overall goal of the fund will be to exceed the return of the specified benchmark net of fees. It is anticipated that this mandate will be funded with approximately $50 million.

It is anticipated an investment manager will be selected for core strategies with the MSCI EAFE Index or the MSCI All Country Ex-U.S. Index serving as the benchmark. The funding level will be dependent on then prevailing market conditions.

Ex-parte CommunicationsPublic Act 93-617, which became effective December 9, 2003, brought about new Illinois ethics procedures. All “ex parte communications” concerning investment, rulemaking or quasi-adjudicatory matters pending before the State agency must be documented and some must be reported. An “ex parte communication” is any written or oral communication by any person that imparts or requests material information or makes a material argument regarding potential action concerning an investment, a rulemaking process, or a quasi-adjudicatory matter. An ex parte communication does not include statements publicly made in a public forum or communications among employees of the State agency.

An ex parte communication from an interested party or his or her official representative or attorney to an employee or the agency must be memorialized and made a part of the record. An “interested party” is a person or entity whose rights, privileges, or interests are the subject of or are directly affected by an investment, regulatory or quasi-adjudicatory matter.

An ex parte communication other than that just described must be reported by the staff member or Trustee immediately to the agency’s Ethics Officer. The communication must be memorialized and made a part of the record. The communication must be filed with the Executive Ethics Commission, accompanied by a memorandum from the ethics officer.

Re: New Sudan Divestment Law in Illinois

Dear Manager:

Please be advised that the Illinois Pension Code was recently amended to reinstate a Sudan divestment provision that will impact your management of SURS’ account (the “Sudan Law”).1 We have enclosed, for your reference, a full copy of the new Sudan Law.

As with the old Sudan law, SURS must obtain an annual certificate from each manager confirming that the investments in SURS’ account comply with the requirements of the Sudan Law because SURS’ assets are not invested in any “forbidden entities,” as defined in the Sudan Law. You must deliver the first such manager certificate to us by February 28, 2008. Thereafter, annual compliance certificates must be delivered to us by [June 30] of each year, including [June 30, 2008]. While there is no longer a form of certificate prescribed by the Illinois State Treasurer’s office or otherwise, we have enclosed a form of compliance certificate that includes the confirmations that certifying companies are required to provide under paragraph (c) of the new Sudan Law.

As with the old Sudan Law, managers of publicly traded securities will need to contract with a firm that specializes in global risk management to identify companies that are considered forbidden entities under the new Sudan Law, and will be required to screen the investments in SURS’ account in order to avoid holding such securities.

The new Sudan Law contains certain differences from the old Sudan law that may impact compliance by SURS’ managers, including:

Mutual Funds. Mutual funds are excluded from the definition of “forbidden entity” if they satisfy the requirements under Section 1-113.2 of the Illinois Pension Code, which are:

i. The mutual fund is managed by an investment company as defined and registered under the federal Investment Company Act of 1940 and registered under the Illinois Securities Law of 1953.ii. The mutual fund has been in operation for at least 5 years.iii. The mutual fund has total net assets of $250 million or more.iv. The mutual fund is comprised of diversified portfolios of common or preferred stocks, bonds, or money market instruments.We are aware that under the National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1986 (“NSMIA”) states were pre-empted from requiring registration of federally "covered securities," and that Section 1-113.2 of the Illinois Pension Code, which predated NSMIA, may also be pre-empted to the extent it would require such dual registration. However, you should rely on your own counsel to advise you on compliance with your duties under the Sudan Law.Private Market Funds. The new Sudan Law includes special rules applicable to a “Private Market Fund”, which is defined as “any private equity fund, private equity fund of funds, venture capital fund, hedge fund, hedge fund of funds, real estate fund, or other investment vehicle that is not publicly traded.” A Private Market Fund will not be deemed to be a forbidden entity if it

1 As you may be aware, the old Sudan law was challenged by the National Foreign Trade Counsel in a suit filed on behalf of eight Illinois municipal pension funds and ruled unconstitutional in an opinion issued on February 23, 2007 by the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

delivers either an affidavit or certificate confirming essentially that it does not own or control assets in the Republic of Sudan and does not conduct business operations in the Republic of Sudan. (See paragraph (d) of the Sudan Act for the specific affidavit or certificate requirements). We hope that this new rule will simplify compliance with respect to investments of SURS’ assets made through a Private Market Fund because the manager will no longer need to confirm that each security held by the fund is not a forbidden entity, as long as the Private Market Fund itself can provide the requisite affidavit or certificate.

We appreciate your attention to this new compliance requirement.Sincerely,

[Doug WesleyDeputy Chief Investment Officer]
