 Associates:
WHAT:    In-depth commentary and analysis of the Cambridge
         Associates LLC U.S. Venture Capital Index(R) (VCI) and the
         Cambridge Associates LLC U.S. Private Equity Index(R) (PEI)
         for the quarter ending December 31, 2005 will be offered by
         Cambridge Associates.

            U.S. Venture Capital Index highlights include:
            ----------------------------------------------

                --  A 2.2% quarterly return.

                --  A 7.9% return for the year.

                --  The largest contributors to the benchmark's
                    performance were communications companies.

                --  The eighth quarterly gain in the last nine
                    periods.

            U.S. Private Equity Index highlights include:
            ---------------------------------------------

                --  A gain of 8.1% for the quarter, its third strong
                    quarter in a row.

                --  Yearly performance to 27.3%; due in part to low
                    interest rates that continued to enable a brisk
                    investment pace along with a healthy supply of
                    buyers.

                --  Rising commodity prices led to eye-popping returns
                    for the energy-focused funds in the index.

                --  The eleventh consecutive positive quarterly
                    return.
