Market Overview. China’s expanding economy, rising disposable incomes, and urbanization are increasing interest and demand for imported horticultural products. In fact, China’s customs data indicates that domestic demand for imported horticultural products increased from $12.5 billion in 2013 to $22.5 billion in 2018. China’s imports of horticultural products from the United States totaled $2.3 billion in 2018, third after the EU-28 and Thailand.

Market Overview. Demand for imported pet food products from abroad is growing at a rapid rate, and American brands are in high demand, including in China. In recent years, U.S. pet food exports were limited due to animal health restrictions on U.S. products containing poultry or bovine ingredients. In addition, it is onerous to register new facilities with Chinese authorities. The Phase One agreement addresses all of these issues and gives U.S. companies streamlined access to China while providing Chinese consumers with a wider variety of high quality American pet food products to choose from in the future. Key Achievements: China has agreed to: Lift its ban on U.S. pet food containing ruminant ingredients and eliminate Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing of U.S. pet food products containing ruminant ingredients. PCR testing of U.S. pet food products not containing ruminant ingredients is to be on a risk-based selection of shipments; Allow importation of U.S. pet foods containing poultry products; Update the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC) website to allow import from 24 U.S. pet food and non- ruminant animal feed facilities with current pending registrations; Not require completion or submission of any pet food facility questionnaire for registration purposes, other than for a pet food facility China may be auditing; Allow the use of imported animal origin ingredients in pet food as long as the ingredients are legally imported into the United States, meet U.S. domestic requirements for inclusion in pet food, and are traceable to the country of origin.

Market Overview. We operate in the large and growing North American IT market. According to Gartner, the overall North American IT market is expected to grow to $1.39 trillion by 2021, representing a 3.5% CAGR from 2016, and the IT Services sub-market is expected to grow by 5.0% over the same period, to $514 billion. Our primary focus is on the attractive middle market of the overall North American IT market, which, according to Gartner, is projected to grow from $238 billion in 2016 to $310 billion in 2021, representing a 5.5% CAGR. The middle market is one of the fastest growing segments of the overall North American IT market in part because its companies often employ smaller internal IT teams that do not have the broad expertise required to keep pace with increasingly complex IT environments and constant technology changes. Industry dynamics continue to favor services-led solutions providers, as businesses increasingly rely on us to advise them on complex IT projects, enabling them to better focus on their core capabilities and enhance productivity. North America IT Spend by Category1 North America IT Spend by Company Size2 While we primarily focus our operations on the U.S. middle market, we have generated sales in and have operations in Canada, the only other country included in Gartner’s North American IT market. Our sales in Canada were less than 1% of our revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Our total sales outside the United States represented approximately 2% of our total revenue for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2015, and the growth rates of the overall North American IT market and the IT Services sub-market generally indicate a growing market for our business. We believe that growth in IT spending will continue to be driven by the adoption of new technologies and market-related trends in cloud, security and IoT and the desire to integrate people, process and technology into digital business models. These trends reflect expanding IT complexity that organizations must manage to remain competitive; however, many middle-market companies lack the resources to design, integrate and manage full life cycle solutions across multiple technology silos to capitalize on these new technologies. A recent survey by Gartner3 predicted that the four biggest drivers of increased IT budget spend would be in the areas of analytics, infrastructure and datacenter, security and cloud, all of which are areas addressed by our core ...

The sector’s dominance is linked to the metro’s central U.S. location, its well-developed infrastructure, and the presence of major corporations that ship worldwide. The metro is relatively young, largely the result of the presence of The Ohio State University. The median age is 35.4 years—below the U.S. median age of 37.7 years.

Market Overview. 2016 was a challenging year for the UMass endowment as difficult market conditions contributed to a decline of ‐3.67% during the fiscal year. Total endowment assets were $734 Million as of June 30, 2016. Global equity markets were down for the year as moderate returns from domestic large cap (S&P 500 +3.99%), were offset by significant losses in domestic small cap (Xxxxxxx 2000 ‐6.73%), developed international (MSCI EAFE ‐10%) and emerging markets (MSCI Emerging Markets ‐12%). Reductions in global growth forecasts and a strong US Dollar were the primary drivers for double‐digit losses in foreign equity markets. In contrast, bond markets had a strong performance in fiscal 2016 (Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index +6.00%) with interest rates hitting historic lows as many Central Banks cut interest rates into negative territory and bond purchasing (QE) programs continued. In addition, the U.S. Federal Reserve delayed raising interest rates which led to a steep drop in 10‐Year Treasury yields (2.43% to 1.49%). Lastly, alternative investment returns were mixed in 2016 as positive returns in real estate (NAREIT Index +11%) and private equity were overshadowed by losses in commodities (CS Commodity Index ‐13%), energy (Oil ‐15%) and hedged strategies (HFRX Global Hedge Funds ‐6%). Historical Performance Comparisons as of June 30, 2016: 1 Year 3 Year 5 Year UMass Foundation ‐3.67% 3.21% 3.77% UMass Policy Index ‐2.67% 3.10% 3.21% 60% MSCI World / 40% Barclays Global Aggregate 1.65% 5.18% 4.48% Domestic Equity (S&P 500 Index) 3.99% 11.66% 12.10% International Equity (MSCI EAFE Index) ‐10.16% 2.07% 1.68% Emerging Mkt Equity (MSCI EM Index) ‐12.06% ‐1.57% ‐3.78% Investment Grade Bonds (Barclays US Aggregate Index) 6.00% 4.06% 3.76% High Yield Bonds (Barclays High Yield Index) 1.62% 4.18% 5.84% Hedged Strategies (HFRI Fund of Funds Index) ‐5.23% 1.90% 1.63% Private Equity/Venture Capital (S&P 500 Index + 200 bps) 5.99% 13.66% 14.10% Commodities (Credit Suisse Commodity Index) ‐13.32% ‐12.64% ‐9.43% Real Estate (NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index) 11.58% 9.64% 10.24%
