– Evidence-based approach.

Cross-Cutting Themes• Comparison of GGMs to Developed Markets
– Faster Growth• Real GDP growth trends similar to U.S. from 1933-1958 and Japan from
1955-1980.• Rising middle class may add up to $22 trillion to GGM economies.• Non-BRIC GGMs have higher aggregate profits than U.S. since 2007.
– Public Markets Are Not Representative• Consumer, Industrial and Healthcare sectors covered best by
private equity.
– Manager Selection is Critical• Expertise is essential to reduce GGM investment risks.
– Exit Markets Are Similar• More IPOs for GGMs.
– Minority Positions Are More Prevalent in GGMs• Preliminary research indicates equivalent returns compared to
majority positions.
