The data regarding sustainable and impact investments (and sub-strategies) presented above, and otherwise contained herein, is based on the amount of AUM in investments by GCM Grosvenor managed portfolios as of the dates above, based on the assessment of each such investment by GCM Grosvenor investment team members. The relevant investments are placed into categories that are generally consistent with the categories presented in the UN PRI Impact Investing Market Map. Primary fund assessments are based on whether a significant part of the expected strategy of the primary fund falls into a sustainable or impact investment category. Co-investment categorizations are based either on categories represented by the co-investment sponsor or the underlying portfolio company. There is significant subjectivity in placing an investment in a particular category, and conventions and methodologies used by GCM Grosvenor in categorizing investments and calculating the data presented may differ from those used by other investment managers.
