LP Attractiveness of Secondary Opportunities for Investors The Manager believes that secondary investments can form an important element of a diversified private equity portfolio: • Secondaries complement investment portfolio construction: a secondary investment program can be designed to complement a primary investment program by filling the gaps in an investors investment portfolio and providing exposure to older vintages or different strategies or geographies. • Secondaries provide the opportunity to pursue an attractive risk-reward profile.

Secondary Market Investment Opportunity Introduction Fundamentally, private equity assets — when held through funds, funds of funds, feeder funds or other similar holding structures - are illiquid investments with long holding periods (typically 10 to 12 years for fund interests) during which time investors have no, or limited, rights to liquidity and investors receive limited information about the performance of the underlying portfolio companies. M investor in such a structure that requires liquidity prior to the sale of the underlying assets by the fund has limited alternatives to selling the interest on the secondary market. A range of dynamics in the private equity industry, such as an evolving regulatory environment, ongoing limited partner portfolio management becoming standard and a rising number of GP-led Secondaries, can create attractive opportunities to purchase private equity assets on a secondary basis.
