Our Partnership History and Highlights

Partnership began in 1995 with an initial allocation of $5 million in our Private Equity Fund of Funds product. In 1997, SURS invested $55 million across various Commingled Funds. In December of 2007 Progress won a re-bid via RFP; In April 2008 the assets, valued at $183 million, were transitioned

from the Commingled Fund investments into three separate account productsU.S. Equity All Cap Core, U.S. Fixed Income, and Non-U.S. Equitythat mirrored SURS larger asset allocation.

In July 2008, SURS allocated assets to Ativo Capital Managements Non-U.S. Equity product and engaged Progress to monitor and coach the manager through their stage of early institutional development.

In September 2010, Progress partnered with SURS and other local pension funds to host an educational symposium on MFDV broker/dealer firm usage.

In December 2010, Ativo Capital Managements Non-U.S. Equity product was graduated into SURS direct program. As of February 29, 2012, SURS total market value was $477 million. All of the Progress portfolios managed for SURS have outperformed since inception. We have provided opportunities to 67 highly-qualified, diverse managers to manage assets on behalf of SURS: 18

African American-owned firms, 13 Latino American-owned firms, 6 Asian American-owned firms, 20 woman-owned firms, 9 emerging firms, and 1 Native American-owned firm a record of inclusion and utilization that SURS should be proud of.

8Changing the Face of the Investment Management IndustrysmCONFIDENTIAL: NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR REPRINT

Why Emerging Managers Continue to be a Strong, Diversified Source of Alpha

Characteristics:

Small, entrepreneurial and independent firms promote return, not fee, driven cultures and decisions

Alignment of personal, professional and economic interests

Absence of bureaucracy allows them to move quickly

New product launch advantages quicker to market

Performance Advantage:

Greater returns for early stage investors: Research indicates that younger funds outperform older funds by up to 250 bps (annualized)

Smaller firms have demonstrated a performance advantage during both bull and bear periods

Limiting opportunity set to large firms can eliminate as much as 40% of top quintile performers

Trading and liquidity advantage: Smaller positions allow emerging managers to trade efficiently and with less market impact

Leveraging our Relationship: Accessing and Creating Manager Supply

Progress can be of greater assistance to SURS with respect to addressing manager under-representation by:

Working with SURS to leverage strategic relationships with key diversity groups and organizations, i.e., New America Alliance (NAA), National Association of Securities Professionals (NASP), Asian American Association of Investment Managers (AAAIM), Council of Urban Professionals (CUP), The Toigo Foundation and The Executive Leadership Council (ELC);

Working with SURS to ensure that these groups are aware of professional opportunities with SURS and that SURSis aware of resources available within these organizations;

Convening special purpose meetings with these groups as a way of solutions-oriented brainstorming; Being available, if requested and deemed appropriate, to attend meetings with SURS staff and these

organizations in order to provide input and perspective;

Exploring seeding and incubation vehicles, such as the Emerging Opportunities Fund, that address the lack of access to capital for new firm formations and provide assets to manage for newly launched firms and products.

Exhibit 16


Leveraging our Relationship: The Senate Hearings

Progress can be of greater assistance to SURS with respect to the Senate Hearings by:

Being a more integral part of the collection and analysis of SURS diversity data; Assisting with the development of the narrative and visual illustrations of the data; Helping SURS more fully highlight its diversity utilization improvements, success stories, and overall inclusion

achievements;

Being available, if requested and deemed appropriate, to participate as part of the SURS presenting team at future Senate Hearings;

Being available, if requested and deemed appropriate, to attend informational update meetings with members of the Senate Committee on Pensions and Investments.

Exhibit 16


Leveraging our Relationship: MFDV Broker/Dealer Firm Utilization

Progress can be of greater assistance to SURS with respect to increasing MFDV brokerage utilization by:

Making the below list available to all SURS managers, not just the managers on the Progress platform;

Co-authoring a study with the appropriate subject matter expertssimilar to those on the performance advantage of emerging managersto highlight the capabilities of MFDV brokerage firms for use by SURS and other Illinois pension funds;

Working with SURS to convene more educational symposiums that bring managers and brokers together.

While Progress does not recommend brokerage firms to its funded managers, we are very cognizant of the value of and need for diverse service providers; we actively collect information on MFDV broker/dealers and disseminate this information to our funded managers as a way of facilitating access to MFDV brokerage firms; due diligence is the responsibility of the funded manager.

Currently, there are 111 MFDV brokerage firms in our database:

1 African/Asian-owned firm 48 African American-owned firms 8 Asian American-owned firms 4 Disabled Veteran-owned firms 17 Latino American-owned firms 2 Native American-owned firms 31 Woman-owned firms

Exhibit 16


Leveraging our Relationship: Reporting on SURS Achievements

Progress can be of greater assistance to SURS with respect to communicating its diversity improvements, successes and achievements by:

Working with SURS to develop a standard report, based on the data collected annually in advance of the Senate Hearings, that tracks usage, captures trends, and highlights milestones and achievements that could be provided to interested parties, such as members of the Senate Committee on Pensions and Investments
