Increasing Return, Risk & Illiquidity
1. The absolute levels of return are the result of the input data that was used and are not a reflection of Adams Street Partners’ expectation for returns going forward. The return data presented herein is simulated, hypothetical fund-level return data based on actual historical returns of companies in the historical portfolio company sample. This return data is for illustrative purposes only. It does not reflect actual performance of any Adams Street Partners fund or any private equity fund in which an Adams Street Partners fund of funds invests. There can be no guarantee that a fund of funds constructed in a manner similar to the simulation presented herein will achieve returns in the ranges of the hypothetical fund of funds performance presented herein. Portfolio company returns are measured as the ratio of value at liquidation to initial cost of the GP’s investment in the portfolio company and are gross of all fees, expenses and carried interest. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. For this exercise the IRR estimates were calculated as the time-weighted rate of return that generates the corresponding TVPI multiple (net of estimated Adams Street Partners and underlying general partner fees, expenses and carried interest) over a 4.3 year period (at portfolio level, net of estimated underlying general partners’ and Adams Street Partners’ fees, carried interest and expenses). Underlying general partner’s fees, carried interest and expenses are estimated based upon historical gross/net spreads that Adams Street Partners has realized on its fund of funds investments; the estimated general partner fees, carried interest and expenses, as well as applicable Adams Street Partners fees and carried interest and estimated expenses, are deducted. The 4.3 year investment duration represents the average length of time that a given dollar remains invested in an underlying company, and is different from the concept of total investment life which is defined as the length of time from the first cash flow to the final liquidation. Adams Street Partners has found 4.3 years to be a close approximation for average duration based on a large sample of historical partnership investment data.

This return data is for illustrative purposes only.

Portfolio company returns are measured as the ratio of value at liquidation to initial cost of the GP’s investment in the portfolio company and are gross of all fees, expenses and carried interest. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. For this exercise the IRR estimates were calculated as the time-weighted rate of return that generates the corresponding TVPI multiple (net of estimated Adams Street Partners and underlying general partner fees, expenses and carried interest) over a 4.5 year period for primary investments (at portfolio level, net of estimated underlying general partners’ and Adams Street Partners’ fees, carried interest and expenses) and a 3 year period for secondary and mezzanine investments. Underlying general partner’s fees, carried interest and expenses are estimated based upon historical gross/net spreads that Adams Street Partners has realized on its fund of funds investments; the estimated general partner fees, carried interest and expenses, as well as applicable Adams Street Partners fees and carried interest and estimated expenses, are deducted. The investment duration assumptions of 4.5 years and 3 years represent the average length of time that a given dollar remains invested in an underlying company, and is distinct from the concept of total investment life which is defined as the length of time from the first cash flow to the final liquidation.

Adams Street Partners maintains cash flow projection models for various strategy and subclass investment combinations. Each model reflects a combination of expected cash flows going forward and the historical cash flow patterns observed by Adams Street Partners. This slide combines these models based on the proposed portfolio allocation and illustrates the resulting general long-term cash flow projection. The models do not capture the impact of short term events specific to underlying investments. There can be no guarantee that the projected cash flows and NAVs shown above will be achieved. 21

Methodology: Simulated Portfolio IRR
1. The data set consists of 21,745 investments from 772 partnership funds and 271 different General Partners in Adams Street Partners’ database; includes portfolio companies of funds in which Adams Street did not invest. Partnership funds are from vintage years 1980-2017. 35
■ To estimate the portfolio’s distribution of simulated final outcomes, returns were simulated using historical company data maintained by Adams Street
■ Output: ‒ TVPI, based on TVPI of the companies in the underlying historical data set ‒ IRR, estimated from TVPI and the average historical investment duration of the data set.
IRR must be estimated because company-level cash flow data is not available. ‒ TVPI and IRR are estimated net of fees, carried interest, and expenses from the General Partner
as well as Adams Street Partners.
20,000 Iterations
Simulated Partnership Funds Partnerships consisting of n=20 underlying investments clustered around common initial investment dates.
Historical Company Level Data1
Company-level investment data from ASP's investment database, for investments in strategies relevant to the proposed portfolio. Data is as of 9/30/2017.
20,000 Iterations
Simulated Investment Strategies Portfolios representing the allocation of the proposed portfolios according to strategy, subclass, geography, fund size, etc
Omit companies which are not mostly realized (defined as having realized value greater than or equal to unrealized value).
Historical Partnership Level Data When applicable, partnership fund level data is used to represent returns for Secondary Investments, Credit, Mezzanine, Real Estate, and other strategies for which ASP has a limited data set at the deal level.
20,000 Iterations
Methodology: Simulated Portfolio IRR
36
■ Uses historical company level data to create an estimated risk/return profile ■ The simulation estimates the portfolio’s risk/return profile, including:
‒ Dispersion of returns ‒ Impact of the number of underlying partnerships and investments ‒ Interaction of different PE strategies, investment subclasses, and regions ‒ Tradeoff between a higher expected return and a greater uncertainty of future returns
■ The mean return to the simulated strategy will not necessarily represent the strategy’s expected return going forward
*Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Considerations 37
ESG Considerations ■ Adams Street became a signatory to the United Nations Principles for
Responsible Investment (“UNPRI”) in October 2010 ■ The Firm adopted an ESG Policy, established an ESG Committee and
conducted firm-wide training regarding integration of ESG considerations into the investment process
■ The Firm integrates ESG Considerations into the investment process using the below criteria to evaluate prospective investments:
‒ Character and integrity of the leadership of the fund or portfolio company
‒ The quality, sustainability and transparency of operations
‒ Impacts of the fund’s investments or portfolio company’s business (e.g., human rights and environmental impacts)
Diversity, Inclusion and ESG* Considerations at Adams Street
Our Diversity and Inclusion Initiative’s mission is to increase access, contribute to education and engage staff in outreach opportunities designed to raise awareness and bring greater numbers of women and men of diverse backgrounds into the industry.

Notes to Performance: All Strategies Outperform Public Market Equivalents by 400 bps*
* The strategies listed exceeded public market equivalents by 400 bps based on the composite, since inception IRR for each strategy as described herein.
1. With respect to the strategies Primary Only, Primary Venture Capital, Primary Buyout, ASP Capital Funds and Co-Investment Funds, this chart, in USD, shows composite performance of private equity fund investments in Adams Street Partners “Core Portfolios” which are funds and separate accounts (excluding special mandate funds and non-discretionary separate accounts) of which Adams Street Partners is the general partner, manager or investment adviser (as applicable) and for which Adams Street Partners makes discretionary investments in private equity. For each of these strategies in the chart, performance is shown on a composite basis for all investments in Core Portfolios that are within that strategy.
2. With respect to the strategy Secondary Only, this chart, in USD, shows composite performance by year of legal closing and transfer of assets of secondary investments (including interests purchased pursuant to a right of first refusal); it includes all secondary investments from 1986 through current period in all funds or other portfolios over which Adams Street Partners exercises investment discretion (including separate accounts no longer with Adams Street Partners).
3. With respect to Adams Street Partners primary and secondary investments, IRRs are net of fees, carried interest and expenses charged to the underlying private equity funds, but are gross of Adams Street Partners’ fees, carried interest and expenses, which reduce returns to investors. For the effect of Adams Street Partners’ fees, carried interest and expenses on Adams Street Partners’ fund returns to investors, please see Adams Street Partners Net Performance chart in the notes section of this presentation. There can be no guarantee that unrealized investments will ultimately be liquidated at the values reflected in this return data. With respect to Adams Street Partners direct and co-investment funds included in this data, performance is net of Adams Street Partners’ fees, carried interest and expenses. The returns presented in this chart do not represent returns achieved by any particular Adams Street Partners fund or any investor in an Adams Street Partners fund.
4. Public Market Equivalent (PME) is calculated using the MSCI All Country World Index. For some periods, it was not possible to calculate traditional PME because the pace of distributions would have created a short position in the public index. In these cases, denoted by the symbol “^”, the PME is calculated using the “Direct Alpha” PME methodology (Gredil, Griffiths, Stucke, “Benchmarking Private Equity: The Direct Alpha Method,” 2014). Mathematically, Direct Alpha PME is equal to the IRR of the future value of cash flows, where future value is based on the return of the benchmark index, less than the IRR of the actual value of the cash flows.

Notes to Performance: Adams Street Partners Net Performance As of June 30, 2017
Note: Brinson Partnership Subscription gross and net IRR presents representative subscription performance of a subscriber that followed Adams Street Partners’ recommended allocation and pays the highest fees. For Adams Street Funds, actual commingled fund performance gross and net IRR are presented. Gross IRRs are net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged to the underlying private equity funds, in the case of primary and secondary funds, but gross of Adams Street Partners’ management fees and carried interest, which reduce returns to investors. Net IRRs are net of Adams Street Partners’ management fees, carried interest and expenses as well as net of management fees, carried interest and expenses charged to the underlying private equity funds (in the case of primary and secondary funds). Capital-weighted annualized returns from inception through quarter end. There can be no guarantee that unrealized investments will ultimately be liquidated at the values reflected in this return data. Each Brinson Partnership Subscription includes fund allocations made within a series of pooled investment vehicles. Performance for vintage years later than 2014 is not shown because performance early in a fund’s life is not generally meaningful due to fee drag and immature investments. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. *Public Market Equivalent (PME) is calculated using the S&P 500 Index for Brinson Partnership Subscription, US Funds and Direct Funds; MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) for Non-US and Non-US Developed Funds; MSCI Emerging for Emerging Markets Funds; and MSCI All Country World for Global Funds. The PME calculation is based on the Net IRR cash flows which reflects the payments of fees, carried interest and expenses. ̂During some periods in which Adams Street Partners investments outperformed the benchmark by a substantial margin, PME could not be calculated because the tracking position in the underlying
benchmark index would have resulted in a short position. In these cases, the PME is calculated using the “Direct Alpha” PME methodology (Gredil, Griffiths, Stucke, “Benchmarking Private Equity: The Direct Alpha Method,” 2014). Mathematically, Direct Alpha PME is equal to the IRR of the future value of the cash flows underlying the IRR calculation, where future value is based on the return of the benchmark index, less the IRR of the actual value of the cash flows.
