Essentially private equity is an alternative way of owning a company

What is private equity?

4

Benefits• Works closely with management teams to ensure more efficient

capital structures are in place• Away from the dividend requirements and short-termist gaze of

the public sector, it allows meaningful strategic and operational changes to be made that benefit the longer term interests of the company

• Provides facility to acquire businesses to merge with other portfolio companies, benefiting from cost efficiencies

• Management’s long term interests are more closely aligned with the other private equity owners

• Rewards are directly linked to the value created throughbuying, building and ultimately selling businesses

Common Myths1. Private equity buy companies on the cheap, strip the assets and

then sell them on for a quick profit2. Private equity leverages up companies with unsustainable levels

of debt3. Private equity operates in a shadowy and secret worldReality (…at least of the type of firms we invest with)1. Create value for investors by buying at a fair price and building

businesses, not stripping them down2. Ensure businesses can pay interest payments required based on

the level of earnings the company produces on a deal by deal basis

3. Maybe true of yesteryear but firms are becoming more open

• Private equity funds are generally difficult to access for the everyday investor

• Like hedge funds, investors face a series of obstacles: lack of access to funds, size of entry, ability to diversify and lack of investment expertise

• Moreover, liquidity is extremely restrictive in this arena with private equity funds commonly implementing long lock-ins in excess of 3 – 5 years

Investment methodology Liquidity

• There around 350 to 400 listed private companies/funds globally• Liquidity issues preclude us from investing in 250 to 300 of these

stocks which brings the universe down to around 100

• We will only invest in stocks with a market capitalisation greater than USD100m

• We will ensure that average daily volumes are suitable to ensure we can offer investors into our fund daily liquidity

• We also invest in open-ended funds and other private equity related securities, again always ensuring we can offer our investors daily liquidity

13

Investment methodology Portfolio implementation

• Meetings are central to fund selection and we see or speak to managers and brokers on a regular basis to keep ahead of company developments

• Forsyth Partners is renowned for identifying fund manager excellence – close relationships are the key

• The same is true of our private equity investing– Research, due diligence and gaining an intimate

understanding of how the various private equity groups work is essential and we have developed close relationships with the various managers as well as brokers on the listed private equity side

14

Investment methodologyInvestment strategy

• In addition to selecting the cream of private equity managers, we also put a top down tilt on our investment strategy

• We find that the macro matters as much to private equity as it does to publicly traded equities

• Our views on private equity come from a variety of sources ensuring a balanced view is taken

15

Investment methodologyPortfolio controls

Stock positions• Core open ended funds will not exceed 20% each

• Core listed private equity companies/funds will not exceed 9%

• Satellite listed stocks will not exceed 5%.

16

Investment methodologyThemes

• Listed Private Equity companies that wholly own the management/advisory company

– Candover plc and SVG Capital• Why? They earn fee income from the other funds they advise on

in addition to making returns from the quality private equity investments owned by the companies

• This is growing income as they are both diversifying their fund management businesses to public equity and hedge fund mandates

17

Investment methodology Core/Satellite Approach

• The core is invested in well managed mainstream funds and reflects our strategic asset allocation

• The satellite is where our more tactical overweights and interesting plays come through. For example:– Emerging market private equity– Infrastructure– Private Financing
