(1) On a quarterly basis, as to each investment vehicle and as to all vehicles in the aggregate, the current values of the investment, and the annualized performance of the investment, net of fees and expenses;

(2) On an annual basis, as to each vehicle and as to all vehicles in the aggregate, the dollar amount of fees and expenses paid to each manager including, if applicable, management fees, performance fees, and fund expenses.

(c) Disclosure of expenses in subsection (b)(2) of this section shall only be required for investments initiated by the retirement system on or after June 30, 2017.

(d) The general treasurer shall use best efforts to calculate and verify the relevant information necessary for the state investment commission to comply with these disclosure requirements.

(e) For purposes of this section:

(1) “ Investment” means an investment in a mutual fund, index fund, private equity fund, a venture capital fund, a hedge fund, a real estate fund, infrastructure fund, or any other investment vehicle in which retirement system assets are invested.

(2) “ Investment vehicle” means the mutual fund, index fund, limited partnership, limited-liability company or similar legal structure through which the retirement system makes an investment.
