Important Notes | For Eligible Investors Only

The Common Fund for Nonprofit Organizations (“Commonfund”) was established in 1971 and manages investment funds primarily for nonprofit institutions and other qualified investors.

The following Commonfund affiliate organizations are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as investment advisers: Commonfund Asset Management Company, Inc. (“Comanco”), CommonfundCapital, Inc. (“CCI”), and Commonfund Realty, Inc. (“CRI”)

Additional information regarding Commonfundand its affiliates’ policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance is available upon request.

Comanco and CRI claim compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). To obtain a presentation that complies with GIPS requirements and/or a list and description of Commonfund’s composites, please contact Commonfund at 888-823-6246 or 203-563-5000.

This document is intended only for qualified, pre-existing investors in CCI, CRI, and Comancoprograms, Members of The Common Fund For Nonprofit Organizations (“Commonfund”), or other eligible institutional investors approved by Commonfund Securities, Inc. It is not intended to constitute an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy, securities. Any such offerings will be made only by means of information

memoranda and related subscription documents that will be made available by Commonfund Securities, Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CCI, CRI and Comanco) only at the time an offering is in progress and only to investors qualified and eligible to invest.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. All investments have the potential for profit and the possibility of loss. Similarly, our access to particular managers may vary in the future and cannot be guaranteed.

Returns on funds are presented net of all fees. Performance includes reinvestment of dividends. Internal Rates of Return should be evaluated in light of information on the investment program of the partnership, the risks associated therewith, and performance of the partnership as disclosed in the Information Memorandum for the partnership, the Annual Reports of Commonfund Capital, Inc. and the partnership and the Quarterly Reports of the partnership. Commonfund Capital, Inc. presents return information for its partnerships on a dollar-weighted (e.g., internal rate of return) rather than the time-weighted (e.g., annual or other period rate of return) basis, which is used principally to report performance of publicly-traded securities. The internal rate of return since inception is the most commonly used calculation methodology used for presentation of performance in the private capital business.

Comparison of returns calculated on an IRR basis with returns on a time-weighted basis is not

appropriate. For a description of the two return calculation methods see “Measuring Investment Returns, Time vs. Dollar-Weighted – What’s the Difference?”, a copy is available from Commonfund Capital.

Gross performance results do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees and other fees as disclosed in Form ADV on file with the SEC.

The information provided in this presentation is confidential, and is presented solely for the use of the recipient. Commonfund requests that the recipient not copy or make any further use of this material without its prior written consent.

Important Notes | For Eligible Investors Only

The Common Fund for Nonprofit Organizations (“Commonfund”) was established in 1971 and manages investment funds primarily for nonprofit institutions and other qualified investors.

The following Commonfund affiliate organizations are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as investment advisers: Commonfund Asset Management Company, Inc. (“Comanco”), CommonfundCapital, Inc. (“CCI”), and Commonfund Realty, Inc. (“CRI”)

Additional information regarding Commonfundand its affiliates’ policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance is available upon request.

Comanco and CRI claim compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). To obtain a presentation that complies with GIPS requirements and/or a list and description of Commonfund’s composites, please contact Commonfund at 888-823-6246 or 203-563-5000.

This document is intended only for qualified, pre-existing investors in CCI, CRI, and Comancoprograms, Members of The Common Fund For Nonprofit Organizations (“Commonfund”), or other eligible institutional investors approved by Commonfund Securities, Inc. It is not intended to constitute an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy, securities. Any such offerings will be made only by means of information

memoranda and related subscription documents that will be made available by Commonfund Securities, Inc. (a broker-dealer affiliate of CCI, CRI and Comanco) only at the time an offering is in progress and only to investors qualified and eligible to invest.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. All investments have the potential for profit and the possibility of loss. Similarly, our access to particular managers may vary in the future and cannot be guaranteed.

Returns on funds are presented net of all fees. Performance includes reinvestment of dividends. Internal Rates of Return should be evaluated in light of information on the investment program of the partnership, the risks associated therewith, and performance of the partnership as disclosed in the Information Memorandum for the partnership, the Annual Reports of Commonfund Capital, Inc. and the partnership and the Quarterly Reports of the partnership. Commonfund Capital, Inc. presents return information for its partnerships on a dollar-weighted (e.g., internal rate of return) rather than the time-weighted (e.g., annual or other period rate of return) basis, which is used principally to report performance of publicly-traded securities. The internal rate of return since inception is the most commonly used calculation methodology used for presentation of performance in the private capital business.

Comparison of returns calculated on an IRR basis with returns on a time-weighted basis is not

appropriate. For a description of the two return calculation methods see “Measuring Investment Returns, Time vs. Dollar-Weighted – What’s the Difference?”, a copy is available from Commonfund Capital.

Gross performance results do not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees and other fees as disclosed in Form ADV on file with the SEC.

The information provided in this presentation is confidential, and is presented solely for the use of the recipient. Commonfund requests that the recipient not copy or make any further use of this material without its prior written consent.

Non-Marketable Investments Account SummaryInception Through December 31, 2010For All Accounts

· All performance data set forth herein is net of all fees and carried interest. Internal Rates of Return (IRR) should be evaluated in light of information on the investment program of the partnership, the risks associated therewith, and performance of the partnership as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum for the partnership, the Audited Annual Reports of the partnership and the Quarterly Reports of the partnership. Return information is presented for these partnerships on a dollar-weighted (e.g., internal rate of return) basis, which is standard for the private capital industry, rather than the time-weighted (i.e., annual or other period rate of return) basis, which is used principally to report performance of publicly-traded securities. The IRR since inception is the most commonly used calculation methodology for presentation of performance in the private capital business. Comparison of returns calculated on an IRR basis with returns on a time-weighted basis is not appropriate. For a description of the two return calculation methods see Measuring Investment Returns, Time vs. Dollar-Weighted - What’s the Difference?, a copy is available from Commonfund.

· Also Referred to as Net Multiple, total value to invested capital net of the general partner’s carried interest = (Distribution + Ending Capital Balance)/Capital Drawdown).

· Net annualized internal rate of return since inception through value date. · Performance information is not shown for liquidated funds or for funds where the information is not yet meaningful due to the youth of the fund.

Transaction flows and capital for these funds are not included in the appropriate totals. · Past performance is no assurance of future results. · For questions, inquiries, concerns or to report any discrepancies or inaccuracies with your report, please call the Account Services team at 888-TCF-

FUND.
