Summary

After the financial crisis the private equity industry is still settling in

In the long run the crisis will separate the wheat from the chaff across the industry

Investors will have to think carefully how to best navigate the increase complexity

Fund of Fund provider will have to diversify offering and increase ability to support

clients in asset allocation and portfolio questions to maintain attractiveness

Private equity continues to be a well performing asset class that is set to outperform

public markets by 400- 600bp.

This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities of any kind in Capital Dynamics, including any of its funds

of funds. Any such offer or solicitation shall be made pursuant to a private placement memorandum furnished by Capital Dynamics. Before relying on this

information in any way, Capital Dynamics advises the recipient of this information (the “Recipient”) to perform independent verification of the data and conduct his

or her own analysis hereto with appropriate advisors. Statements contained in this presentation may include statements of future expectations and other forward-

looking statements. Any projections or other estimates in these materials are based upon certain assumptions. Actual events may differ materially from those

assumed, which may have a material impact on any projections or estimates provided herein. In addition, certain assumptions may have been made to simplify the

presentation and/ or calculation of projections or estimates. Capital Dynamics does not purport that any such assumptions will reflect actual future events, and

reserves the right to change its assumptions without notice to the Recipient.

The information contained herein may contain general, summary discussions of certain tax, regulatory, accounting and/ or legal issues. Any such discussions and

issues may be generic and may not be applicable to or complete for the Recipient. Capital Dynamics does not offer tax, regulatory, accounting or legal advice and

this presentation should not and cannot be relied upon as such. Prior to entering into any proposed transaction or agreeing to proposals made herein, the Recipient

should determine, in consultation with the Recipient‟s own legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors, the economic risks and merits of any action, as well as the

legal, tax, regulatory and accounting consequences of such action. When considering alternative investments, such as private equity funds, the Recipient should

consider various risks including the fact that some funds may use leverage and engage in a substantial degree of speculation that may increase the risk of

investment loss, can be illiquid, are not required by law to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and

delays in distributing important tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, often charge high fees, and in many cases the

underlying investments are not transparent and are known only to the investment manager.

With respect to alternative investments, such as private equity funds, in general, the Recipient should be aware that:

(1) Returns can be volatile

(2) The Recipient may lose all or portion of your investment

(3) The manager has total portfolio authority, and the use of a single manager could mean a lack of diversification and higher risk

(4) Many funds are subject to substantial expenses that must be offset by portfolio profits. A portion of the profit is paid to the investment manager in the forms of

carried interest and management fees

(5) There is often a lack of transparency as to the fund's underlying investments

(6) With respect to funds of funds, the fund of fund's manager has complete discretion to invest in various sub-funds without prior disclosure. There is no way to

ascertain with certainty the specific investments made by the sub-fund or to know whether the sub-fund investments are consistent with the fund of fund‟s

historic investment philosophy or risk levels

(7) A fund of fund invests in other funds and fees are charged at both the fund of fund and sub-fund level. Thus the overall fees paid by an investor will be higher

than such investor would pay by investing directly in the sub-fund. In addition, each sub-fund charges or may charge an incentive fee, or carry, on new profits

regardless of whether the overall operations of the sub-fund are profitable

(8) There may be no secondary market for fund interests. Transfers of interests are subject to limitations. The fund's manager may deny a request to transfer if it

determines that the transfer may result in adverse legal or tax consequences for the fund

(9) The fund's offering memorandum and the investment manager‟s disclosure document describes the various risks and conflicts of interest relating to an

investment and to its operations. The Recipient should read those documents carefully to determine whether an investment is suitable in light of, among other

things, the Recipients financial situation, need for liquidity, tax situation, and other investments

(10) The Recipient should only commit risk capital to any investment product. Alternative investment products, including private equity funds, are not for everyone

and entail risks that are different from more traditional investments.

Should this presentation contain performance information, then please note: Except where otherwise specified,

(i) all gross and net IRRs are “pooled IRRs”, i.e. calculated on the basis of aggregated cash flows of all products of each generation of products, and

(ii) all cashflows since inception (July 1991) have been taken into account up to, unless otherwise stated, the track record date. Cashflows between Capital

Dynamics‟ funds of funds are excluded. The latest value that an underlying manager reports for its fund is counted as a positive cash flow. The calculations depend

on valuations, therefore, in particular in respect of unrealized value, that have often been determined by third parties, which third parties are typically the underlying

funds‟ general partners. Actual realized returns on any unrealized investments will depend on the value of investments at the time of disposition, any related

transaction costs and the manner of sale.

“Gross” means gross of Capital Dynamics fees but net of underlying funds‟ fees.

“Net” means net of Capital Dynamics fees and of underlying funds‟ fees. “Multiple” stands for the TVPI (Total Value to Paid-In) multiple (i.e. the ratio of the sum of

distributions plus current NAV to the sum of draw downs).

Where investments have been made in a currency other than the reference currency of the track record:

(i) actual cash flows have been converted into the reference currency at the exchange rate for the relevant payment or receipt; and

(ii) unrealized investments have been converted into the reference currency at the prevailing exchange rate as at the track record date.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The information compiled by Capital Dynamics has not been audited.
