Executive Summary BlackRock was hired by The Los Angeles Water & Power Employees’ Retirement System (“LADWP”) to rebalance plan assets for both the Pension Plan and the Health Plan. While both transition events were considered separate events, the transition rebalance for both plans occurred simultaneously. This post-trade analysis covers the Pension Plan. On November 12, 2015 BlackRock took over portfolio management responsibilities of the transition account held at Northern Trust. Next, target manager Emerald team provided the BlackRock Transitions team with a wishlist for the target strategy. BlackRock began by setting aside approximately $2.92 million worth of securities from the legacy portfolio that overlapped with the target portfolio. These securities were set aside and not traded. The remaining required trading began on November 16 and was completed on November 24. BlackRock rebalanced the portfolio using agency trading via external crossing and open market trades. The potential overall cost of the transition, as measured by implementation shortfall, was estimated to fall between -98 basis points and +0 basis points (1 standard deviation). The actual implementation shortfall was -50 basis points of the legacy asset value, which fell right around the mean estimate of -49 basis points. Performance details and execution results for the transaction can be found on the following pages.

BlackRock managed the four dimensions of risk throughout the transition as follows: Exposure Risk What is it: Also known as investment risk, this is risk associated with undesirable market exposure, including factors that can have a negative effect on the value of the portfolio How BlackRock addressed it • Traded in a dollar neutral manner to ensure market exposure throughout the transition period • Coordinated with the target manager in order to maintain market exposure throughout the transition • BlackRock neutralized the sector misweights at the commencement of trading
• We were able to neutralize sector misweights particularly within the Financials and Industrials sectors, bringing the portfolio very close to the sector profile of the target
• Once sector misweights were neutralized, we continued making progress in a dollar neutral manner • Once sector neutrality became a minimal contributor to risk, we shifted gears away from sector neutrality and aimed for higher rates of
completion
Execution Risk What is it: Risk of using inadequate trading venues, especially for illiquid asset classes How BlackRock addressed it: • All transactions executed as agent and as fiduciary • Crossed a portion of the security trades via external crossing venues • Used multiple counterparties and venues to complete the required equity trades • Utilized various underlying brokers and liquidity sources
Process Risk What is it: Risk that costs are incurred due to communication gaps and unchecked assumptions How BlackRock addressed it: • Held conference calls with the client, Northern Trust, and the target manager to discuss timeline and other transition expectations Operational Risk What is it: Risk that operational details-such as account set up and reconciliation are over looked or delayed How BlackRock addressed it: • Monitored account to ensure all market trades settled • Ensured the timely completion of asset transfers

Performance Commentary Implementation shortfall, as measured by the return of the transition account versus the return of the target portfolio from November 13 through November 30, was -0.50%. Market Commentary (11/16) U.S. stocks rebounded after their worst week since an August selloff, paced by energy shares amid speculation that any fallout from Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris would have a limited economic impact. Russell 2000 Index was up 0.8%. Market Commentary (11/17) U.S. stocks were little changed as a drop in energy shares offset higher-than-forecast earnings from retail. Stabilizing inflation (CPI came in at 0.2%, as expected) strengthened sentiment that the Fed will raise interest rates in December. Treasury yields also reached a one-week high after inflation showed an increase in US consumer prices, solidifying expectations for the rate hike in December. Russell 2000 Index ended slightly down (0.25%) compared to Monday's close after a volatile day. Market Commentary (11/18) The S&P 500 rallied the most in almost a month as Federal Reserve meeting minutes revealed policy makers think the economy is strengthening enough to withstand higher interest rates as soon as next month. Russell 2000 Index rose over the course of the day and closed 1.6% up. The Fed stressed that the pace of any increases will be gradual. Banks and Biotech were the strongest sectors on Wednesday, both up over 2%. Yields on treasuries were little changed following the release of Fed minutes.

Executive Summary BlackRock was hired by The Los Angeles Water & Power Employees’ Retirement System (“LADWP”) to rebalance plan assets for both the Pension Plan and the Health Plan. While both transition events were considered separate events, the transition rebalance for both plans occurred simultaneously. This post-trade analysis covers the Health Plan. On November 12, 2015 BlackRock took over portfolio management responsibilities of the transition account held at Northern Trust. Next, target manager Emerald team provided the BlackRock Transitions team with a wish list for the target strategy. BlackRock began by setting aside approximately $475k worth of securities from the legacy portfolio that overlapped with the target portfolio. These securities were set aside and not traded. The remaining required trading began on November 16 and was completed on November 24. BlackRock rebalanced the portfolio using agency trading via external crossing and open market trades. The potential overall cost of the transition, as measured by implementation shortfall, was estimated to fall between -98 basis points and +0 basis points (1 standard deviation). The actual implementation shortfall was -48 basis points of the legacy asset value, which fell right around the mean estimate of -49 basis points. Performance details and execution results for the transaction can be found on the following pages.

Executive Summary
Assets in Transition Transition Timing Blackrock was hired by “Stephon” to transition approximately $117 million in US SMID Cap equities; Both portfolios were SMID-cap in nature although the target portfolio had a lower capitalization profile ($1.9b vs $3.4 b) The target was also less liquid than the legacy (16% vs. 12% of average daily volume).
The transition began with on November 16th and trading was completed on November 24th. The reporting in this document uses November 13th as a benchmark (implementation shortfall) and performance was calculated through final settlement date of November 27th.
Expected Cost Actual Cost Harbor Analytics estimated the cost of the transition at 70 basis points ($812k) +/- 40 basis points. Blackrock estimated the cost of the transition at 50 basis points ($586k) +/- 49 basis points. Harbor Analytics model assumes a 10% participation rate for all trading and calculates tracking error using the most recent performance history of the portfolios.
The actual cost of the transition was 50 basis points ($590k) which was 20 basis points or $222k lower than our mean estimate and within our expected range of cost (one standard deviation). The actual costs were virtually equal to Blackrock’s mean expected cost and obviously within their expected range of cost.
Above Expectations Within Expectations Below Expectations 1. The cost of the transition was better than
Harbor’s expectation and equal to the average SMID Cap transition in our universe (pgs. 7, 10, 36).
2. The risk management by Blackrock was good as “Stephon” was systematically exposed to the market across the entire period (pgs. 24-26) and sector risk was prioritized on day one (pg. 27). Blackrock was dealing with extremely difficult market conditions (pg. 17).
3. The larger block transactions had a lower cost than expected and did not reverse performance quickly after Stephon's trade (pgs. 29, 31)
4. Blackrock used unaffiliated dark pools to lower the cost of the event (pgs. 30)
1. The commission charges were slightly higher than our universe average although within reason for a transition of this size and scope (pgs. 7 & 12).
2. Tracking error was within expectations for the trading and settlement periods (pg. 11).
1. None
Compliance Pass Harbor Analytics measured whether the shares and market value traded by the transition manager (verified through time stamped
executions) match the aggregated trades reported to the custodian. To verify this, we calculate the actual average price executed by the transition manager and compare this against the actual price which was sent to the custodian each day.
Pass Harbor Analytics measured whether any individual security transition was outside the confines of the market (i.e. above the high of the day or below the low of the day). To verify this, we compare all of the time stamped executions against the total stock market activity for each security via Bloomberg.
Pass Harbor Analytics measured whether the same security was bought and sold during the transition which often is the result of an error by the transition manager. To verify this, we compare both SEDOL and ISIN to ensure the same security was not traded in error nor did the transition manager buy and sell fungible securities of the same issuer.

Transition Overview
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Liquidity The largest driver of transition cost is liquidity. Liquidity is
represented above as the percentage of 20 day average volume of each position.
Liquidity was below average for the transition as the average position was 14% of the average daily volume. There was an illiquid tail on both sides of the transition driven by the large mid and small cap allocations
Capitalization Shift
Performance can deviate significantly across market capitalizations and this can have a significant impact on the cost of a transition.
The weighted average capitalization was similar for both portfolios although the target portfolio was more heavily weighted towards small cap (less mid-cap) and this had a lower average cap.
Sector Risk Sectors can have large deviations in performance on a daily basis. Large shifts can have a significant impact on the cost of a transition.
Sector risk was muted in that the only large risk an increase in financials. Cash was being reduced in the transition therefore Blackrock needed to become a net buyer of approximately $5.5 million.

Transition Difficulty Ranking
Harbor Analytics Transition Difficulty Ranking (“TDR”) normalizes transition costs across all transitions. The ranking is an indication of cost expectation that can be used to compare transitions of different asset sizes and asset classes.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation
Liquidity The average liquidity for all transitions is measured based on the least liquid portfolio (target or legacy). The least liquid side is used as this will drive the timing of the transition.
The liquidity of this event ranks as a 7.65 which makes this transition harder than our average transition event. Liquidity is the largest dictator of cost as impact rises non-linearly as % of ADV increases.
Tracking Error Target versus legacy recent tracking error is measured to determine the recent variation between the two portfolios. This is an effective determinant of opportunity cost.
The tracking error of this event ranks as a 4.65 which makes this transition easier than our average transition event. Tracking error has a large effect on the potential opportunity cost of a transition.
Sector Risk Large sector shifts can have a huge impact on transition costs as sectors can deviate from long term correlations from day to day.
The sector risk of this event ranks as a 2.04 which makes this transition easier than our average transition event. Large sector risk can complicate the risk management of a transition.
Overall TDR Compare rank and avg cost of historical transitions Stephon’s trade was a 6.79/10.0 which is harder than our average event of 4.85. The average cost for similar transition is 40 basis points.

PRE TRADE EXPECTATIONS The goal of the provider assessment is to determine if the estimate provided was realistic. To best judge the nature of the provider’s estimate we compare their estimate to Harbor Analytics’ independent model. Harbor uses database averages for commissions, half the actual bid ask spread, academically accepted algorithms for calculating market impact and the most recent 50 days of performance to calculate expected opportunity costs.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Mean Cost Transition managers can be aggressive in their mean
estimate in an attempt to appear cheaper than their competitors
Blackrock’s mean estimate was lower than Harbor’s model which is normal within the industry; We do not estimate any savings associated with any trading methodology. Our model assumes a 10% volume participation rate.
Range of Cost Overly wide range of costs are a tactic of some transition managers to provide a cushion for an overly optimistic mean estimate
Blackrock’s range of cost was narrower than our model. Range of cost is a function of liquidity (duration of transition) and tracking error (deviation in performance between target and legacy during trading).
Commissions While commissions are typically the smallest cost component, clients should pay reasonable commissions for their services
Blackrock’s commissions were higher than the average US equity commission from our Transition Management Universes. Given the size of the transition, the commission costs were reasonable.

DAILY VALUES The following table and charts detail the value of each portfolio that was traded, the value transferred in-kind and also a daily valuation of the target and legacy portfolio for relevant dates of the transition.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation
Total Turnover Transition’s with a high percentage of in-kind transfers should have much lower cost
3% of the transition was transferred in-kind. This translates into 183% or $214 million in total equity turnover once cash is accounted for. The average transition Harbor analyzes has $551 million in turnover.
First Day Performance
First day performance should somewhat resemble prior period performance
The target outperformed the legacy portfolio by 3 bps on the first trade date. This is within expectations.

TRANSITION PERFORMANCE CHECK The first step in evaluating the success of any transition is to measure the performance of the transition account and compare this to the performance of the “Target” portfolio; this concept is commonly referred to as implementation shortfall. Comparison to appropriate industry benchmarks have also been provided for the same time period.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Implementation Shortfall
The total cost of the transition is calculated by subtracting the target return from the actual return.
Costs were 50 basis points from the 11/13 close. The costs were 19 basis points lower than Harbor Analytics’ mean estimate and flat to Blackrock’s mean estimate.
Within Expected Ranges
Transition Providers should be within their/our range of cost 68% of the time. They should also beat their mean 50% of time.
The result was within both Harbor and Blackrock’s expected range of cost (one standard deviation)
Performance vs Benchmarks
How has the portfolios performed versus comparable market benchmarks for the period.
All portfolios performed within expectations over the transition period. The market was very volatile over the transition period

TRADING PERIOD VS. SETTLEMENT PERIOD PERFORMANCE The graphs and tables below detail the performance of the target and legacy portfolio across the trading and settlement periods. The separation of performance from trading and settlement periods is important in determining if the trading of the transition manager overly influenced returns. We also compare the variance between the target and legacy on trade date and for the settlement periods against all past transitions.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Trading Period Clients should be concerned on how the portfolios
performed together – best case scenario is the legacy outperforming the target portfolio
The target underperformed the legacy by 81.4 basis points which is within the expected tracking error of the trading period (+/- 87 basis points) and within the maximum expected variance (tracking error plus impact) of 151 basis points
Settlement Period
Clients should be concerned if a large deviation in performance occurs with the legacy outperforming the target
The target outperformed the legacy by 34.1 basis points which is within the expected settlement period tracking error (57 basis points) and within the maximum expected variance (tracking error plus impact) of 121 basis points. The target outperformed the legacy (and market) during the settlement period which is positive for Stephon.

PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION The tables and charts below detail the cost of the transition by liquidity buckets and also by capitalization. The bubbles in the graphs represent the size of the position.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Liquidity Buckets Were there liquidity buckets that cost much more than
expected particularly the less liquid names Blackrock’s performance was mixed although they outperformed on most liquidity buckets
Cost by Market Capitalization
Did cost spike for a particularly capitalization band; Mid and Small cap securities tend to be the areas which transition managers underperform
Similar to liquidity, Blackrock was mixed in terms of performance although outperformed on large and mid-cap securities while underperforming on small cap securities

INDIVIDUAL SECURITY ANALYSIS – LARGEST POSITIONS The tables below detail the performance of the top buy and sell securities and also the least liquid securities within the transition. Often the largest names in the transition will dictate the overall cost. The provider should pay close attention to these names particularly the securities with the largest percentage of average daily volume.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Largest Names The largest positions normally drive the cost for the transition
as they are the largest percentage of trading The cost of the largest names in total was +58 basis points versus Harbor’s expectation of 35 basis points.
Least Liquid Names
Were the costs reasonable for less liquid names or were they traded quickly at a high cost
The cost of the least liquid names in total was +52 basis points versus Harbor’s expectation of 55 basis points.

MARKET CONDITIONS Market conditions can have a large impact on the performance of the transition. We believe volume and volatility to have the largest impact on transaction costs. We measure these prior to the start of the transition and compare this to the actual market conditions during trading and calculate the impact market conditions had on trading costs. We also measure market dispersion as larger market moves tends to increase transaction costs.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Volume How did trading period market volumes compare to pre
trade activity Volumes are directly correlated with market impact; The higher the volume the better. Volumes decreased in this transition which tends to increase cost
Range of Market How did the breadth of the market (high to low across each day) compare to pre trade activity
The breadth of the market was equal to the previous two week averages and higher than normal which complicates risk management
VIX How did trading period market volatility compare to pre trade activity
Higher volatility often causes costs to rise; Volatility was still high during the event which increases expected cost

LUCK FACTOR Market conditions often have a large influence on the total cost of the event. In the previous sector, we have estimated the cost associated with volume and volatility which both have large effects on market impact. In this section, we attempt to estimate how overall market performance influenced total cost. We estimate the cost associated with sector movements in addition to the cost associated with capitalization changes.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Sector Changes How did the market perform in the largest sector imbalances
including both large increases and decreases The performance of sectors had limited effect on the overall cost of the transition; First day sector movement accounted for 17% of total cost.
Cap Changes Was there a large variation in performance amongst large, mid and small cap securities in addition to net cash change
Similar to sector risk, capitalization shifts had limited effect on the overall cost of the transition. First day capitalization movement actually lowered cost.

The actual equity exposure is compared against the target exposure which represents the cash requested by the target manager less transaction costs
Blackrock was very effective in matching buy and sell transactions on day two which limited the exposure variance at all times during the day. This demonstrates good risk management by Blackrock.
Exposure Cost The equity exposure variance is compared against the benchmark of the transition to determine the cost of being over/(under) exposed during the trading period
Exposure costs were +2 basis points for the second trading day which demonstrates good risk management. The equity exposure ratio was never outside 4% across the entire day.

The actual equity exposure is compared against the target exposure which represents the cash requested by the target manager less transaction costs
Blackrock was very effective in matching buy and sell transactions on day three which limited the exposure variance at all times during the day. This demonstrates good risk management by Blackrock.
Exposure Cost The equity exposure variance is compared against the benchmark of the transition to determine the cost of being over/(under) exposed during the trading period
Exposure costs were +4 basis points for the third trading day which demonstrates good risk management. The equity exposure ratio was never outside 2% across the entire day.

SECTOR MANAGEMENT – DAY ONE Sector management is an important part of the overall risk management process. In this section, we measure the actual sector exposures versus the target exposure of each sector. While all sector variances cannot be immediately eliminated due to liquidity, we look for constant risk management through reduction of sector risks.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Decline Ratio The ratio of trading to sector decline; This ideally is above
100% at all points during trading Decline ratio was much greater than one on the first day indicating Blackrock was efficient in their trade scheduling
Large Imbalances
Did the transition manager mitigate the largest sector risks The largest starting risk (financials) was reduced by over 80% on day one despite only 27% of the transition being completed

EXECUTION SIZE The table below details the lot size for each trade that was executed during the transition. The table is segmented by half hour increments during the trading day and also the size of the trades executed during this period.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Large orders, if accessed without disclosing information, can often lower the cost of a transition
There was a large amount of block activity (50.9%) with better than expected cost for these trades
Smaller orders are generally traded through algorithms which if routed poorly can be costly
A smaller percentage of orders (25.2%) were smaller trade sizes (average is 81% in our universe) and the cost of these orders were higher than Harbor’s expectations.

BLOCK TRADING The table below detail the largest child order executions for the transition. The tables detail the largest blocks and also the price of the security fifteen minutes post execution. We measure the trade fifteen minutes after the trade to ensure Mario received an appropriate price.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Was the print size for the transition manager significantly different from the market print sizes and if so why?
Print sizes were higher than market averages by 72% demonstrating Blackrock was able to locate large blocks
Did the largest blocks move materially in the 15 minutes after the block was priced which would suggest information was leaked to solicit the block?
There was no reversion in price for the largest trades after the fact demonstrating effective liquidity access by Blackrock

INFORMATION LEAKAGE In this section we measure the close to open gap on the first trading day to see if any information was leaked to the market. It is important to note that the transition manager is not the only party who has access to the securities in transition.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Was the close to open gap within reason
Compare the actual close to open gap to the expectations from prior days
The close to open gap was 4.8 basis points which is within expectations for these two portfolios (+/- 8 basis points) and demonstrates good control of information by Blackrock

COMPLIANCE EVALUATION In the tables below we have provided the test results from basic compliance checks performed on the transition portfolios. We test whether the time stamped executions, which are the books and records of the transition manager, match the aggregated executions reported to the custodian which are the books and records of the client. We measure whether any trades were executed at prices worse than the highs and lows of the market on any given day. We also measure the percentage of trades that occurred within each quartile of prices each day. Lastly, we measure whether the transition manager bought and sold the same security which is often caused by transition manager errors.

COST SIMULATION Harbor simulated this exact transition over the previous ten trading days. The goal of the simulation is to accurately estimate what opportunity costs would have been based on the performance of the buy and sell portfolios. To be overly fair to the transition provider, we assume that the historical prices observed in the market would not have been attainable without impacting the security. Therefore we have taken the prior observed prices and subtracted the expected costs associated with the transition. We have provided what the maximum, minimum, average and median costs would have been using Harbor Analytics expectation of costs. In the graph below, we have detailed the relative performance of the transition versus the simulated results using Harbor Analytics estimates for commissions, spread, taxes and impact.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Average Simulated Cost
Compare the actual cost of the transition to the average and median simulated cost
Harbor’s cost simulation was 61 basis points which was 11 basis points higher than the actual cost
Range of Outcomes
The best and worst case scenario details how good or bad the transition could have been
The range of costs (best case versus worst case) was 624 basis points which is extremely high for a transition and demonstrates the volatile markets Blackrock was dealing with
Cost versus VWAP
Assuming VWAP was achieved for each name, what would the cost have been
First day VWAP would have yielded a cost of 6 basis points which was 44 basis points lower than the actual cost; First day VWAP is a difficult comparison due to the liquidity issues that existed in the transition

ABOUT HARBOR ANALYTICS Harbor Analytics was founded to assist Asset Owners in measuring and managing transaction costs across all asset classes. We assist Asset Owners across the globe in evaluating equity, fixed income and foreign exchange transaction costs. We consistently add value to our clients by reducing costs, improving the on-going trading processes of their providers and providing clarity to investment staff and boards on the actual cost of execution.
Our Philosophy
In a perfect world, all transactions would be executed instantaneously with zero explicit and implicit costs. This is clearly impossible, but that is the benchmark we use for measurement. All costs, regardless of asset class, are measured against this frictionless cost ideology. Once an investment decision has been made, we measure all implementation costs from this time. Each order has a decision point benchmark that will be used to calculate cost. Deviation from this benchmark will be calculated as cost, and then Harbor Analytics will segment this amount into explicit and implicit costs. We also provide attribution of these costs and rank all providers in our Peer Universe.
What We Do
Measuring and managing the costs associated with any investment activity is imperative to long-term success. Whether it is active equity managers looking to add alpha, transition managers seeking to seamlessly reallocate assets, or 401K plans looking to provide the best platform for its beneficiaries, excessive trading cost can derail the success of these programs. At Harbor Analytics, we assist our clients by measuring the performance loss associated with trading, providing meaningful suggestions on how these costs can be minimized in the future, and assessing whether our client's current providers can meet the targets that have been set. We do this across all asset classes.

Executive Summary
Assets in Transition Transition Timing Blackrock was hired by “Stephon” to transition approximately $19 million in US SMID Cap equities; Both portfolios were SMID-cap in nature although the target portfolio had a lower capitalization profile ($1.9b vs $3.4 b) The target was also less liquid than the legacy (16% vs. 12% of average daily volume once pension assets are included).
The transition began with on November 16th and trading was completed on November 24th. The reporting in this document uses November 13th as a benchmark (implementation shortfall) and performance was calculated through final settlement date of November 27th.
Expected Cost Actual Cost Harbor Analytics estimated the cost of the transition at 70 basis points ($132k) +/- 40 basis points. Blackrock estimated the cost of the transition at 51 basis points ($96k) +/- 49 basis points. Harbor Analytics model assumes a 10% participation rate for all trading and calculates tracking error using the most recent performance history of the portfolios.
The actual cost of the transition was 48 basis points ($92k) which was 21 basis points or $40k lower than our mean estimate and within our expected range of cost (one standard deviation). The actual costs were 2 basis points lower Blackrock’s mean expected cost and within their expected range of cost.
Above Expectations Within Expectations Below Expectations 1. The cost of the transition was better than
Harbor’s expectation and equal to the average SMID Cap transition in our universe (pgs. 7, 10, 36).
2. The risk management by Blackrock was good as “Stephon” was systematically exposed to the market across the entire period (pgs. 24-26) and sector risk was prioritized on day one (pg. 27). Blackrock was dealing with extremely difficult market conditions (pg. 17).
3. Blackrock used unaffiliated dark pools to lower the cost of the event (pgs. 30)
1. The commission charges were slightly higher than our universe average although within reason for a transition of this size and scope (pgs. 7 & 12).
2. Tracking error was within expectations for the trading and settlement periods (pg. 11).
1. None
Compliance Pass Harbor Analytics measured whether the shares and market value traded by the transition manager (verified through time stamped
executions) match the aggregated trades reported to the custodian. To verify this, we calculate the actual average price executed by the transition manager and compare this against the actual price which was sent to the custodian each day.
Pass Harbor Analytics measured whether any individual security transition was outside the confines of the market (i.e. above the high of the day or below the low of the day). To verify this, we compare all of the time stamped executions against the total stock market activity for each security via Bloomberg.
Pass Harbor Analytics measured whether the same security was bought and sold during the transition which often is the result of an error by the transition manager. To verify this, we compare both SEDOL and ISIN to ensure the same security was not traded in error nor did the transition manager buy and sell fungible securities of the same issuer.

Transition Overview
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Liquidity The largest driver of transition cost is liquidity. Liquidity is
represented above as the percentage of 20 day average volume of each position.
Liquidity was below average for the transition as the average position was 14% (including pension) of the average daily volume. There was an illiquid tail on both sides of the transition driven by the large mid and small cap allocations
Capitalization Shift
Performance can deviate significantly across market capitalizations and this can have a significant impact on the cost of a transition.
The weighted average capitalization was similar for both portfolios although the target portfolio was more heavily weighted towards small cap (less mid-cap) and this had a lower average cap.
Sector Risk Sectors can have large deviations in performance on a daily basis. Large shifts can have a significant impact on the cost of a transition.
Sector risk was muted in that the only large risk an increase in financials. Cash was being reduced in the transition therefore Blackrock needed to become a net buyer of approximately $1 million.

Transition Difficulty Ranking
Harbor Analytics Transition Difficulty Ranking (“TDR”) normalizes transition costs across all transitions. The ranking is an indication of cost expectation that can be used to compare transitions of different asset sizes and asset classes.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation
Liquidity The average liquidity for all transitions is measured based on the least liquid portfolio (target or legacy). The least liquid side is used as this will drive the timing of the transition.
The liquidity of this event ranks as a 7.65 which makes this transition harder than our average transition event. Liquidity is the largest dictator of cost as impact rises non-linearly as % of ADV increases.
Tracking Error Target versus legacy recent tracking error is measured to determine the recent variation between the two portfolios. This is an effective determinant of opportunity cost.
The tracking error of this event ranks as a 4.65 which makes this transition easier than our average transition event. Tracking error has a large effect on the potential opportunity cost of a transition.
Sector Risk Large sector shifts can have a huge impact on transition costs as sectors can deviate from long term correlations from day to day.
The sector risk of this event ranks as a 2.04 which makes this transition easier than our average transition event. Large sector risk can complicate the risk management of a transition.
Overall TDR Compare rank and avg cost of historical transitions Stephon’s trade was a 6.79/10.0 which is harder than our average event of 4.85. The average cost for similar transition is 40 basis points.

PRE TRADE EXPECTATIONS The goal of the provider assessment is to determine if the estimate provided was realistic. To best judge the nature of the provider’s estimate we compare their estimate to Harbor Analytics’ independent model. Harbor uses database averages for commissions, half the actual bid ask spread, academically accepted algorithms for calculating market impact and the most recent 50 days of performance to calculate expected opportunity costs.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Mean Cost Transition managers can be aggressive in their mean
estimate in an attempt to appear cheaper than their competitors
Blackrock’s mean estimate was lower than Harbor’s model which is normal within the industry; We do not estimate any savings associated with any trading methodology. Our model assumes a 10% volume participation rate.
Range of Cost Overly wide range of costs are a tactic of some transition managers to provide a cushion for an overly optimistic mean estimate
Blackrock’s range of cost was narrower than our model. Range of cost is a function of liquidity (duration of transition) and tracking error (deviation in performance between target and legacy during trading).
Commissions While commissions are typically the smallest cost component, clients should pay reasonable commissions for their services
Blackrock’s commissions were higher than the average US equity commission from our Transition Management Universes. Given the size of the transition, the commission costs were reasonable.

DAILY VALUES The following table and charts detail the value of each portfolio that was traded, the value transferred in-kind and also a daily valuation of the target and legacy portfolio for relevant dates of the transition.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation
Total Turnover Transition’s with a high percentage of in-kind transfers should have much lower cost
15% of the transition was transferred in-kind. This translates into 183% or $35 million in total equity turnover once cash is accounted for. The average transition Harbor analyzes has $551 million in turnover.
First Day Performance
First day performance should somewhat resemble prior period performance
The target outperformed the legacy portfolio by 3 bps on the first trade date. This is within expectations.

TRANSITION PERFORMANCE CHECK The first step in evaluating the success of any transition is to measure the performance of the transition account and compare this to the performance of the “Target” portfolio; this concept is commonly referred to as implementation shortfall. Comparison to appropriate industry benchmarks have also been provided for the same time period.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Implementation Shortfall
The total cost of the transition is calculated by subtracting the target return from the actual return.
Costs were 48 basis points from the 11/13 close. The costs were 21 basis points lower than Harbor Analytics’ mean estimate and 2 basis points lower than Blackrock’s mean estimate.
Within Expected Ranges
Transition Providers should be within their/our range of cost 68% of the time. They should also beat their mean 50% of time.
The result was within both Harbor and Blackrock’s expected range of cost (one standard deviation)
Performance vs Benchmarks
How has the portfolios performed versus comparable market benchmarks for the period.
All portfolios performed within expectations over the transition period. The market was very volatile over the transition period

TRADING PERIOD VS. SETTLEMENT PERIOD PERFORMANCE The graphs and tables below detail the performance of the target and legacy portfolio across the trading and settlement periods. The separation of performance from trading and settlement periods is important in determining if the trading of the transition manager overly influenced returns. We also compare the variance between the target and legacy on trade date and for the settlement periods against all past transitions.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Trading Period Clients should be concerned on how the portfolios
performed together – best case scenario is the legacy outperforming the target portfolio
The target underperformed the legacy by 80.9 basis points which is within the expected tracking error of the trading period (+/- 87 basis points) and within the maximum expected variance (tracking error plus impact) of 151 basis points
Settlement Period
Clients should be concerned if a large deviation in performance occurs with the legacy outperforming the target
The target outperformed the legacy by 34.0 basis points which is within the expected settlement period tracking error (57 basis points) and within the maximum expected variance (tracking error plus impact) of 121 basis points. The target outperformed the legacy (and market) during the settlement period which is positive for Stephon.

PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION The tables and charts below detail the cost of the transition by liquidity buckets and also by capitalization. The bubbles in the graphs represent the size of the position.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Liquidity Buckets Were there liquidity buckets that cost much more than
expected particularly the less liquid names Blackrock’s performance was mixed although they outperformed on most liquidity buckets
Cost by Market Capitalization
Did cost spike for a particularly capitalization band; Mid and Small cap securities tend to be the areas which transition managers underperform
Blackrock outperformed on all capitalizations except for securities less than $1 billion
Harbor Analytics, Confidential Page 16
INDIVIDUAL SECURITY ANALYSIS – LARGEST POSITIONS The tables below detail the performance of the top buy and sell securities and also the least liquid securities within the transition. Often the largest names in the transition will dictate the overall cost. The provider should pay close attention to these names particularly the securities with the largest percentage of average daily volume.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Largest Names The largest positions normally drive the cost for the transition
as they are the largest percentage of trading The cost of the largest names in total was +91 basis points versus Harbor’s expectation of 38 basis points.
Least Liquid Names
Were the costs reasonable for less liquid names or were they traded quickly at a high cost
The cost of the least liquid names in total was +67 basis points versus Harbor’s expectation of 60 basis points.

MARKET CONDITIONS Market conditions can have a large impact on the performance of the transition. We believe volume and volatility to have the largest impact on transaction costs. We measure these prior to the start of the transition and compare this to the actual market conditions during trading and calculate the impact market conditions had on trading costs. We also measure market dispersion as larger market moves tends to increase transaction costs.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Volume How did trading period market volumes compare to pre
trade activity Volumes are directly correlated with market impact; The higher the volume the better. Volumes decreased in this transition which tends to increase cost
Range of Market How did the breadth of the market (high to low across each day) compare to pre trade activity
The breadth of the market was equal to the previous two week averages and higher than normal which complicates risk management
VIX How did trading period market volatility compare to pre trade activity
Higher volatility often causes costs to rise; Volatility was still high during the event which increases expected cost

LUCK FACTOR Market conditions often have a large influence on the total cost of the event. In the previous sector, we have estimated the cost associated with volume and volatility which both have large effects on market impact. In this section, we attempt to estimate how overall market performance influenced total cost. We estimate the cost associated with sector movements in addition to the cost associated with capitalization changes.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Sector Changes How did the market perform in the largest sector imbalances
including both large increases and decreases The performance of sectors had limited effect on the overall cost of the transition; First day sector movement accounted for 18% of total cost.
Cap Changes Was there a large variation in performance amongst large, mid and small cap securities in addition to net cash change
Similar to sector risk, capitalization shifts had limited effect on the overall cost of the transition. First day capitalization movement actually lowered cost.

What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Exposure Variance
The actual equity exposure is compared against the target exposure which represents the cash requested by the target manager less transaction costs
Blackrock began trading around noon EST on the first trading day and increased equity exposure by the $1 million which the target manager requested. This is good risk management.
Exposure Cost The equity exposure variance is compared against the benchmark of the transition to determine the cost of being over/(under) exposed during the trading period
Exposure costs were 1 basis point across the first trading day;

PACE OF TRADING AND EXPOSURE MANAGEMENT – DAY THREE The pace of trading is measured in this section in addition to the success of the provider in managing the desired market exposure of the transition.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Exposure Variance
The actual equity exposure is compared against the target exposure which represents the cash requested by the target manager less transaction costs
Blackrock was very effective in matching buy and sell transactions on day three which limited the exposure variance at all times during the day. This demonstrates good risk management by Blackrock.
Exposure Cost The equity exposure variance is compared against the benchmark of the transition to determine the cost of being over/(under) exposed during the trading period
Exposure costs were +1 basis point for the third trading day which demonstrates good risk management. The equity exposure ratio was never outside 1% across the entire day.

SECTOR MANAGEMENT – DAY ONE Sector management is an important part of the overall risk management process. In this section, we measure the actual sector exposures versus the target exposure of each sector. While all sector variances cannot be immediately eliminated due to liquidity, we look for constant risk management through reduction of sector risks.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Decline Ratio The ratio of trading to sector decline; This ideally is above
100% at all points during trading Decline ratio was much greater than one on the first day indicating Blackrock was efficient in their trade scheduling
Large Imbalances
Did the transition manager mitigate the largest sector risks The largest starting risk (financials) was reduced by over 75% on day one despite only 27% of the transition being completed

EXECUTION SIZE The table below details the lot size for each trade that was executed during the transition. The table is segmented by half hour increments during the trading day and also the size of the trades executed during this period.
What Clients Should Look For Harbor Analytics Evaluation Large orders, if accessed without disclosing information, can often lower the cost of a transition
The size of the positions in this event did not require block liquidity access
Smaller orders are generally traded through algorithms which if routed poorly can be costly
A smaller percentage of orders (50.7%) were smaller trade sizes (average is 81% in our universe) and the cost of these orders were higher than Harbor’s expectations.

COMPLIANCE EVALUATION In the tables below we have provided the test results from basic compliance checks performed on the transition portfolios. We test whether the time stamped executions, which are the books and records of the transition manager, match the aggregated executions reported to the custodian which are the books and records of the client. We measure whether any trades were executed at prices worse than the highs and lows of the market on any given day. We also measure the percentage of trades that occurred within each quartile of prices each day. Lastly, we measure whether the transition manager bought and sold the same security which is often caused by transition manager errors.
