Leadership and Corporate Culture
6
ASB’s strong investment performance is driven by its people and partnerships.
OPERATING PARTNERS CULTURE OF DEBATE
Our partners are experienced real estate operators with
deep product knowledge and exceptional local people and
experience.
During bi-weekly “all-hands” meetings, new acquisitions and
leases are vetted by the broader group. This collaborative
approach leads to our best ideas and a robust decision making
approach.
TEAM COHESION INVESTMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
The core ASB senior leadership team has managed the Fund
together for over twelve years, with modest turnover
throughout the broader organization.
The same team that sources new acquisitions also executes the
business plan during the ownership period, assuring strong
accountability for results.
ASB Meridian Real Estate Fund II, L.P.
Investment Philosophy
8
ASB has strategically focused its investments strategy on select “growth-engine” urban/infill submarkets in
the nation’s leading gateway, 24-hour cities, avoiding secondary markets and suburban locations.
• Major MSAs that offer liquidity throughout
market cycles
• Emerging tenant demand driven by changing
demographic trends - Urbanization
• Neighborhoods in major markets where we
observe the onset of gentrification and re-
development
• Neighborhoods protected by barriers to entry
• Above inflation rent growth due to wholesale
changes in demand drivers
• Non-traditional areas becoming attractive to
highly educated workforces with multi-
generational, diverse demographics
• Mass transportation; alternatives to cars
• Pedestrian-friendly environments

1) The benchmark for performance is the NCREIF Property Index (NPI). This Index is a quarterly time series composite total rate of return measure of property- level
performance of a large pool of individual commercial real estate properties acquired in the private market for investment purposes only. As the benchmark is only
measured on a quarterly basis, the 2010 return for the benchmark is the return for the fourth quarter only (partial period is excluded).
2) The SI- IRR benchmark is the NPI measured on a time- weighted basis since inception. As the benchmark is only measured on a quarterly basis, the since inception
date used for the benchmark is first date of the first full quarter following the Composite's inception (10/1/10). The Composite IRR is measured with the beginning date
of 7/27/2010.

Compliance Statement - ASB Capital Management LLC claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. ASB Capital Management LLC has been independently verified for the period 12/01/99-06/30/15. The verification report is available upon request. Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. Verification does not ensure the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. Definition of the Firm - For the purposes of applying the GIPS Standards, the firm is defined as ASB Capital Management LLC, an independent registered investment adviser. The firm was founded in 1983, and specializes in providing equity, fixed income and real estate investment management to institutional investors. The firm adopted the GIPS standards for all periods of performance beginning 01/01/1993. The firm has chosen to be GIPS verified as of 12/01/1999. The firm maintains a complete list and description of composites, which is available upon request. The ASB Meridian Real Estate Low-Leverage Value Creation Composite I - The ASB Meridian Real Estate Low-Leverage Value Creation Composite I includes a single closed-end real estate equity fund managed by the Firm with strategy of investing in value creation real estate opportunities and utilizing low-leverage to enhance returns. Portfolio management invests in a portfolio of properties located in major markets within the United States. The composite targets value creation real estate opportunities through ground-up development, re-development and re-positioning in established and emerging submarkets where demographic fundamentals are expected to generate above inflationary rental rate growth. Real estate investments are generally illiquid, and the investment outlook may change given the availability of credit or other financing sources. The composite utilizes leverage in the form of mortgages and other indebtedness. This leverage is secured by real estate investments held by the Fund. This composite is measured
against the NCREIF (National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries) Property Index. The composite name used to be “The ASB Meridian I Real Estate Composite.” The name and definition were clarified in April 2014 to reflect the low-leverage, opportunistic strategy that was in effect during the life of the fund. In January 2015, the name of the composite was changed to “ASB Meridian Real Estate Low-Leverage Value Creation Composite I” to avoid confusion on the type of properties included in the Composite. The composite was created in October 2010. The composite vintage year is 2010, which was determined based on the Fund’s first capital call in October 2010. Description of Discretion - The Firm has complete discretion for all investment activities within the Fund. The Firm exercises full discretion over the selection, capitalization, asset management, and disposition of investments in wholly-owned properties and joint ventures. Valuation - Assets are internally valued quarterly by the Firm and appraised at least annually by an independent appraiser. The percentage of composite assets valued using an external valuation is shown for each annual period. When market circumstances dictate, the Firm may increase the frequency of external appraisals. External property valuations rely primarily on the application of market discount rates to future projections of free cash flows (unleveraged cash flows) and capitalized terminal values over the expected holding period for each property. Other valuation techniques, such as the sales comparison approach and the replacement cost approach, are also employed by appraisers as secondary estimators of value. Property mortgages, notes, and loans are marked to market using prevailing interest rates for comparable property loans, if the terms of existing loans preclude the immediate repayment of such loans. Internal investment valuations are determined by adjusting previous appraisal values by the change in capital expenditures since the previous appraisal. Due to the nature of real estate investments, valuations are based upon subjective unobservable inputs. ASB maintains a GIPS Policy and Procedures Manual that contains policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and preparing compliant presentations. The manual is available upon
request. Basis of Accounting - All assets and liabilities are reported on a fair value basis using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for non-operating companies. Calculation of Performance Returns - Returns are presented in U.S. dollars and are net of leverage. Since inception returns are shown both gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of income. Net-of-fee returns are net of actual investment management fees, including incentive fees, which are recorded on an accrual basis. Time-weighted returns are presented gross of management fees and include reinvestment of income. Capital expenditures, tenant improvements, and lease commissions are capitalized, included in the cost of property, and reflected in the capital return component. Income and capital returns may not equal total returns due to the compounding linking of quarterly returns. Composite time-weighted returns are calculated quarterly on an asset-weighted basis using beginning-of-period values. Annual returns are calculated by linking quarterly composite returns. SI-IRRs are calculated using daily cash flows since inception. Investment Management Fees - The Fund pays an incentive fee of 10% of profits if the SI-IRR exceeds a preferred real return to investors of 7%. The incentive fee is calculated monthly. The standard annual investment management fee is equal to 0.75% of the aggregate Gross Investment Cost of all Investments. Benchmark – The NCREIF Property Index is a quarterly time series composite total rate of return measure of stabilized property-level performance of a large pool of individual commercial real estate properties acquired in the private market for investment purposes only. The benchmark is not leveraged and does not include the impact of partnership interests, cash or other fund level items. There is no SI-IRR benchmark available for the 2010 vintage year.
