Overview Executive summaryLondon

DCE Partners in brief

1 All currency figures in this document are US Dollars unless otherwise specified

DCE Partners: a bespoke conduit for private equity capital into Africa.

Business description: DCE Partners is a private equity firm that identifies, structures, and actively manages direct investments in Africa.

Why Africa: we believe Africa represents the next lucrative opportunity for private equity investment. Exceptional current and forecasted growth, ease of accessibility compared to emerging Asia, massive scalability and the emergence of increasingly stable and welcoming democratic governments are among some of the contributing factors.

Team and advisory committee: a highly skilled and accomplished team with decades of African investment experience. The advisory committee provides operational and management expertise in a broad range of sectors.

Point of difference: DCE Partners will operate on a deal-by-deal basis and physically base our team on-site to actively manage investments. Investors can control their risk return profile, sector and geographical exposure, time horizon, and other deal metrics to suit their investment needs.

Alignment of interests: we have broken away from the traditional fund investment model. Rather than siphoning away investors funds through management fees, we ensure alignment of interests via an incremental performance fee structure.

Investment strategy: DCE Partners will utilise the following investment strategies: Buy and Build or organic business creation to exploit inefficiencies Turn around in distressed and special situations Aggregation plays to capitalise on economies of scale

Investment size

Investments between US$5 million and $30 million 1

Geographic focus

Primary focus: Eastern and Southern Africa

Sector focus

Focus on financial services, infrastructure services and energyNo resource extraction or telecommunications

Ownership and control

Controlling stake where possible

Investor return

Investments with an expected IRR > 30%

DCE Partners’ investment

DCE Partners will invest in every deal it manages, targeting 2% of equity invested as a typical contribution

Section Title

Why Africa Africa’s economic pulse is quickening Sub-Saharan Africa

Africa is growing at twice the rate it was in the 1980s and 1990s 1

It is expected that African consumers will spend over 2 trillion on

goods and services by 2020.2

Scale

The argument for Africa is one of potential: Africa has as many cities with a population of 1 million as do Europe and North America

Africa’s consumer-facing sectors (consumer goods, telecom, banking) are growing two to three times faster than those in countries belonging to the OECD

Accessibility

Inefficiencies such as bribery, corruption, lack of infrastructure, inflation and bureaucracy are ever-present in emerging markets worldwide. Many African governments have realised that foreign investment is crucial to their long term growth and success and are subsequently welcoming FDI via favourable legislation and regulatory changes.

Asian countries

African countries

Africa is at an inflection point.

The key overarching themes that support our view that Africa is, and will continue to be, an attractive destination for private equity investment are:

Unprecedented current and forecasted growth, even surpassing Asian countries within the next 5 years

Ease of accessibility compared to emerging Asia, complemented by welcoming regulatory reform for foreign capital

Massive scalability. The aggregated market of Africa dwarfs those of Latin America

High level of forecasted income growth and an exponentially growing middle class

Rapid consumption growth

Increasing FDI and reverse diaspora

Improving democratised and stable political landscape

Broad-based growth across a number of sectors and no longer limited to mining

Growth

According to the IMF, six of the top ten fastest growing economies in 2010 were in Sub-Saharan Africa and that is expected to increase to seven of the top ten in the next five years.

Our focus A bespoke offering for African investmentSub-Saharan Africa

Breaking away from the traditional PE fund model

Private equity fund structure – A flawed model for Africa

Numerous private equity funds have been launched to capture the superior growth opportunities that Africa offers however, the traditional PE fund model has fundamental pit-falls in the developing economies of Africa:

Self imposed investment horizons, dictated by fund terms, limit both investor returns and the scope of potential investments African economies are “developing”. The operating landscape has inherent time lags and a lack of liquidity. PE funds are subsequently forced to exit portfolio companies at times which may be far from optimal and additionally, limit themselves to sectors with large incumbent cash heavy Corporates in an effort to ensure a timely exit. The restricted universe of companies that fit this profile for PE funds has increased competition and prices in certain sectors.

Management fees drain the pool of investors’ capital as PE funds embark on the lengthy process of identifying suitable investmentsDue to the limited transparent deal flow and intrinsic risks associated with investing in Africa, the identification and DD process is prolonged relative to the developed world. PE funds siphon significant proportions of investor capital over this drawn out process.

Funds are focused on the 50 million+ bite size which has increased competition in this range & artificially inflated prices

DCE Partners – the ideal conduit of PE capital in Africa

DCE Partners is a private equity firm that identifies, structures and actively manages direct investments, on the ground, in Africa for its network of investors who seek exposure to private equity deals in the region.

DCE Partners operates on a deal by deal basis and will thus provide investors with an expected time horizon for each individual deal This deal by deal method grants investors with discretion, an absent luxury in the traditional PE fund model. A potential investor can determine whether the risk return profile, sector and geographical exposure, time horizon, and other deal metrics suit their investment needs. This model promotes communication and collaboration between DCE Partners and its “Club” of investors.

DCE Partners will not rely on management fees in the investment identification process To ensure the ultimate alignment of interests, DCE Partners’ compensation will be solely reliant on the success of the investment. Investor capital will be fully utilised in the investment and no capital will be siphoned in management fees.

DCE Partners will not limit itself in terms of a bite size

DCE Partners will focus on the fundamentals and will look at any investment between 1 million and 30 million dollars.
