(1)Where fair value is calculated based on NAV, fair value has been derived from each of the funds’ capital statements.
(2)This category includes investments in hedge funds that invest, long and short, primarily in both public and private equity securities in domestic and international markets. At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, approximately 57% and 74%, respectively, became redeemable quarterly with 90 days prior written notice on December 31, 2021. At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, approximately 37% and 21%, respectively, of the fair value of investments in this category cannot be redeemed because these investments include restrictions that do not allow for redemption before November 30, 2023. The remaining investments are redeemable quarterly with 60 days prior written notice.
(3)The investments in this category include investments in equity funds that invest in the equity of various U.S. and foreign private companies in a broad range of industries. These investments cannot be redeemed; instead, distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the funds which are primarily expected to be liquidated in approximately one to thirteen years.
(4)This category includes investments in a hedge fund that invests, long and short, primarily in commodities. These investments are redeemable quarterly with 60 days prior written notice.
(5)This category includes investments in hedge funds that invest, long and short, primarily in multi-asset securities in domestic and international markets in both the public and private sectors. At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, investments representing approximately 76% and 78%, respectively, of the fair value of investments are redeemable monthly with 60 days prior written notice. At August 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, approximately 17% and 22%, respectively, of the fair value of investments are redeemable quarterly with 90 days prior written notice. At August 31, 2022, the remaining investments cannot be redeemed because these investments include restrictions that do not allow for redemption before April 1, 2024.
(6)This category primarily includes investments in a fund that invests in short-term trade receivables and payables that are expected to generally be outstanding between 90 to 120 days and short-term credit instruments, as well as investments in a fund that invests in distressed and special situations long and short credit strategies across sectors and asset types. Investments in this category are primarily redeemable quarterly with 90 days prior written notice.

Quantitative Information about Significant Unobservable Inputs Used in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The tables below present information on the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs and their ranges for our financial assets and liabilities, subject to threshold levels related to the market value of the positions held, measured at fair value on a recurring basis with a significant Level 3 balance. The range of unobservable inputs could differ significantly across different firms given the range of products across different firms in the financial services sector. The inputs are not representative of the inputs that could have been used in the valuation of any one financial instrument (i.e., the input used for valuing one financial instrument within a particular class of financial instruments may not be appropriate for valuing other financial instruments within that given class). Additionally, the ranges of inputs presented below should not be construed to represent uncertainty regarding the fair values of our financial instruments; rather, the range of inputs is reflective of the differences in the underlying characteristics of the financial instruments in each category.
For certain categories, we have provided a weighted average of the inputs allocated based on the fair values of the financial instruments comprising the category. We do not believe that the range or weighted average of the inputs is indicative of the reasonableness of uncertainty of our Level 3 fair values. The range and weighted average are driven by the individual financial instruments within each category and their relative distribution in the population. The disclosed inputs when compared with the inputs as disclosed in other periods should not be expected to necessarily be indicative of changes in our estimates of unobservable inputs for a particular financial instrument as the population of financial instruments comprising the category will vary from period to period based on purchases and sales of financial instruments during the period as well as transfers into and out of Level 3 each period.
