A place to look for returns in the current downturn?

Where to start? Why not fundraising!
Despite the market conditions EM PE raised $ 66,5 bio in 2008, a 12% rise
Proportional share in total global PE fundraising raising for 5 years in a row now
Relative decoupling & economic power shifting is reinforced by current recession
Cyclical recession became a structural one and the risk of L-shape depression is looming (cf. Ponzi economy)

Market Outlook
Cheaper valuations (although some parties sometimes are still in denial)
Attractive deal flow to arrive
Capital constrained entrepreneurs & management
BRIC as a catalyst gone?
But major differentiators among emerging markets
Semi-globalization = procession of Echternach
Market Outlook
But major differentiators among emerging markets
CEE & CIS: Sovereign risk & currency management Debt-financed growth model is broke Euro and Nordic currency infrastructure has eroded fundamentals Mid/Long term catch-up dynamics still in place South-East Europe & Turkey still attractive Russia has a significant implied X-factor at present time
MENA: Undeniable impact on economy SWFs are diverting capital flows back home Mid/Long term outlook still positive Valuations in region still need recalibration to new reality
Market Outlook
But major differentiators among emerging markets
Mena: Still growth but impact of the credit situation trickling
down Commodity play Sector focus
Sub-Saharan Africa: Limited effect of credit situation Tremendous improvement in investment environment Good risk-adjusted returns GDP growth & overall economic development decoupled
from commodity play
Market Outlook
But major differentiators among emerging markets
Asia: China as a manufacturing hub Semi-globalization shows Global gross capital formation (cross-border at risk) Unrealistic valuations in India at present
Volume of investments dropped 38,5 % in 2008 to $ 10,7 bio and are expected to drop to $ 5 bio this year
3/4th of PE investments were done in listed entities
Can they become our customers of last resort? Social unrest might destabilize the vulnerable progress made South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia etc weak on their feet for
the time to come
Something else that is inconvenient

Impact on portfolio construction
In 2008 about 1/3 of the total pool of LPs had some kind of exposure to EMs
Portfolio weighting somewhere between 10-30% Do or die for LPs the next couple of years Systemic risk in Western markets are not reflected in risk premiums

Portfolio exposure
Is this time going to be different for EMs?
During previous booms and busts the developed and developing world evolved in a parallel fashion
This time there is a (partly) contra-cyclical pattern
Political & regulatory impact HC issues Global versus local teams: the best of both Business model rethinking & paradigm shift EM debt usage less or more prudent
Let gravity have its way
Darwinian tsunami & paradigm shifting
