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. 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. 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.
