Abstract: A building framing system includes a floor portion or floor framing system, a wall portion or wall framing system, and a roof portion or roof framing system. Each framing system comprises a plurality of components. Each component defines a connection geometry for connecting one component to another. The connection geometries are such that mechanical or other similar fasteners are not required to hold the various components together; rather, the connection geometries connect the components and hold them in place with respect to one another. Further, the framing systems utilize pre-cut components such that the components of each framing system arrive onsite cut to a needed length and width and with the appropriate connection geometry.

Abstract: A system and method for committing capital to a private equity portion of an investment portfolio that includes the private equity portion and a liquid portion. A committed capital target is determined based on an expected rate of return of the liquid portion, an expected rate of return of the private equity portion, an expected rate at which distributions are paid from the private equity portion, and an expected rate at which capital commitments associated with the private equity portion are invested. The actual value of committed capital in the private equity portion is compared to the committed capital target. Commitment of further capital in the private equity portion is delayed if the actual value of committed capital in the private equity portion exceeds the committed capital target. Further capital in the private equity portion is committed if the actual value of committed capital in the private equity portion is below the committed capital target.
