To Members of the Pension Board:
Management is responsible for the accompanying interim financial statements of the Rantoul Police
Pension Fund which comprise the statement of net position - modified cash basis as of November 30,
2025 and the related statement of changes in net position - modified cash basis for the seven months
then ended in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting and for determining that the
modified cash basis of accounting is an acceptable financial reporting framework. We have performed a
compilation engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review
Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. We did not audit or review the interim financial statements nor were we
required to perform any procedures to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided
by management. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any form of
assurance on these interim financial statements.
The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting,
which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures ordinarily included in interim
financial statements prepared in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting. If the omitted
disclosures were included in the interim financial statements and other supplementary information,
they might influence the user's conclusions about the Pension Fund's assets, liabilities, net position,
additions and deductions. Accordingly, the interim financial statements and other supplementary
information are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
Other Matter
The other supplementary information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management.
The other supplementary information was subject to our compilation engagement. We have not audited
or reviewed the other supplementary information nor were we required to perform any procedures to
verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by management. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion, a conclusion, nor provide any form of assurance on the other supplementary
information.
Cordially,
Lauterbach & Amen

Performance Return Calculations
Performance is calculated using Time Weighted Rates of Return (TWRR) methodologies. Monthly returns are geometrically linked and annualized for periods longer than one year.
Data Source
Verus is an independent third party consulting firm and calculates returns from best source book of record data. Returns calculated by Verus may deviate from those shown by the manager in part, but not limited to,
differences in prices and market values reported by the custodian and manager, as well as significant cash flows into or out of an account. It is the responsibility of the manager and custodian to provide insight into the
pricing methodologies and any difference in valuation.

Glossary
Allocation Effect: An attribution effect that describes the amount attributable to the managers' asset allocation decisions, relative to the benchmark.
Alpha: The excess return of a portfolio after adjusting for market risk. This excess return is attributable to the selection skill of the portfolio manager. Alpha is calculated as: Portfolio Return [Risk free Rate + Portfolio Beta x (Market Return Risk
free Rate)].
‐ ‐ ‐ ‐
Benchmark R squared: Measures how well the Benchmark return series fits the manager's return series. The higher the Benchmark R squared, the more appropriate the benchmark is for the manager.
Beta: A measure
‐ of systematic, or market risk; the part of risk in a portfolio or security that is attributable to general market movements. ‐Beta is calculated by dividing the covariance of a security by the variance of the market.
Book to Market: The ratio of book value per share to market price per share. Growth managers typically have low book to market ratios while value managers typically have high book to market ratios.
Capture
‐ ‐Ratio: A statistical measure of an investment manager's overall performance in up or down markets. The capture ‐ ‐ratio is used to evaluate how well an investment manager performed
‐ ‐ relative to an index during periods when that index has
risen (up market) or fallen (down market). The capture ratio is calculated by dividing the manager's returns by the returns of the index during the up/down market, and multiplying that factor by 100.
Correlation: A measure of the relative movement of returns of one security or asset class relative to another over time. A correlation of 1 means the returns of two securities move in lock step, a correlation of 1 means the returns of two securities
move in the exact opposite direction over time. Correlation is used as a measure to help maximize the benefits of diversification when constructing an investment portfolio.
‐
Excess Return: A measure of the difference in appreciation or depreciation in the price of an investment compared to its benchmark, over a given time period. This is usually expressed as a percentage and may be annualized over a number of
years or represent a single period.
Information Ratio: A measure of a manager's ability to earn excess return without incurring additional risk. Information ratio is calculated as: excess return divided by tracking error.
Interaction Effect: An attribution effect that describes the portion of active management that is contributable to the cross interaction between the allocation and selection effect. This can also be explained as an effect that cannot be easily traced to
a source.
Portfolio Turnover: The percentage of a portfolio that is sold and replaced (turned over) during a given time period. Low portfolio turnover is indicative of a buy and hold strategy while high portfolio turnover implies a more active form of
management.
Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E): Also called the earnings multiplier, it is calculated by dividing the price of a company's stock into earnings per share. Growth managers typically hold stocks with high price to earnings ratios whereas value
managers hold stocks with low price to earnings ratios.
‐ ‐ ‐ ‐
R Squared: Also called the coefficient‐ ‐of determination, it measures the amount of variation in one variable explained by variations in another, i.e., the goodness of fit to a benchmark. In the case of investments, the term is used to explain the
amount of variation in a security or portfolio explained by movements in the market or the portfolio's benchmark.
‐
Selection Effect: An attribution effect that describes the amount attributable to the managers' stock selection decisions, relative to the benchmark.
Sharpe Ratio: A measure of portfolio efficiency. The Sharpe Ratio indicates excess portfolio return for each unit of risk associated with achieving the excess return. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the more efficient the portfolio. Sharpe ratio is
calculated as: Portfolio Excess Return / Portfolio Standard Deviation.
Sortino Ratio: Measures the risk adjusted return of an investment, portfolio, or strategy. It is a modification of the Sharpe Ratio, but penalizes only those returns falling below a specified benchmark. The Sortino Ratio uses downside deviation in
the denominator rather than standard deviation, like the Sharpe Ratio.
‐
Standard Deviation: A measure of volatility, or risk, inherent in a security or portfolio. The standard deviation of a series is a measure of the extent to which observations in the series differ from the arithmetic mean of the series. For example, if a
security has an average annual rate of return of 10% and a standard deviation of 5%, then two thirds of the time, one would expect to receive an annual rate of return between 5% and 15%.
Style Analysis: A return based analysis designed to identify combinations of passive investments
‐ to closely replicate the performance of funds
Style Map: A specialized form or scatter plot chart typically used to show where a Manager lies in relation to a set of style indices on a two dimensional plane. This is simply a way of viewing the asset loadings in a different context. The
coordinates are calculated by rescaling the asset loadings to range from 1 to 1 on each axis and are dependent on the Style Indices comprising the Map.

Verus) or as required by law or any regulatory authority. The information presented does not constitute a recommendation by Verus and cannot be used for advertising or sales
promotion purposes. This does not constitute an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell securities, commodities or any other financial instruments or products.
The information presented has been prepared using data from third party sources that Verus believes to be reliable. While Verus exercised reasonable professional care in
preparing the report, it cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided by third party sources. Therefore, Verus makes no representations or warranties as to the
accuracy of the information presented. Verus takes no responsibility or liability (including damages) for any error, omission, or inaccuracy in the data supplied by any third party.
Nothing contained herein is, or should be relied on as a promise, representation, or guarantee as to future performance or a particular outcome. Even with portfolio
diversification, asset allocation, and a long‐term approach, investing involves risk of loss that the investor should be prepared to bear.
The information presented may be deemed to contain forward‐looking information. Examples of forward looking information include, but are not limited to, (a) projections of or
statements regarding return on investment, future earnings, interest income, other income, growth prospects, capital structure and other financial terms, (b) statements of
plans or objectives of management,(c) statements of future economic performance, and (d) statements of assumptions, such as economic conditions underlying other
statements. Such forward‐looking information can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as believes, expects, may, will, should, anticipates, or the
negative of any of the foregoing or other variations thereon comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy. No assurance can be given that the future results described by
the forward‐looking information will be achieved. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause the actual results to differ materially
from future results expressed or implied by such forward looking information. The findings, rankings, and opinions expressed herein are the intellectual property of Verus and
are subject to change without notice. The information presented does not claim to be all‐inclusive, nor does it contain all information that clients may desire for their purposes.
The information presented should be read in conjunction with any other material provided by Verus, investment managers, and custodians.
Verus will make every reasonable effort to obtain and include accurate market values. However, if managers or custodians are unable to provide the reporting period's market
values prior to the report issuance, Verus may use the last reported market value or make estimates based on the manager's stated or estimated returns and other information
available at the time. These estimates may differ materially from the actual value. Hedge fund market values presented in this report are provided by the fund manager or
custodian. Market values presented for private equity investments reflect the last reported NAV by the custodian or manager net of capital calls and distributions as of the end
of the reporting period. These values are estimates and may differ materially from the investments actual value. Private equity managers report performance using an internal
rate of return (IRR), which differs from the time‐weighted rate of return (TWRR) calculation done by Verus. It is inappropriate to compare IRR and TWRR to each other. IRR
figures reported in the illiquid alternative pages are provided by the respective managers, and Verus has not made any attempts to verify these returns. Until a partnership is
liquidated (typically over 10‐12 years), the IRR is only an interim estimated return. The actual IRR performance of any LP is not known until the final liquidation.
Net‐of‐Fees Returns mean gross‐of‐fees returns reduced by fees and expenses charged by third‐party investment managers on the products of such managers held by client.
Net‐of‐Fees Returns does not include a reduction of returns for Verus’ investment management and consulting fees, or other expenses incurred by the asset owner, fund or
plan.
Verus receives universe data from InvMetrics, eVestment Alliance, and Morningstar. We believe this data to be robust and appropriate for peer comparison. Nevertheless, these
universes may not be comprehensive of all peer investors/managers but rather of the investors/managers that comprise that database. The resulting universe composition is not
static and will change over time. Returns are annualized when they cover more than one year. Investment managers may revise their data after report distribution. Verus will
make the appropriate correction to the client account but may or may not disclose the change to the client based on the materiality of the change.
