8Market Environment What are the Key Questions
- Has there been a fundamental shift in the
fundraising market? - Yes while commitments to the alternatives space
remains, cautious review has overtaken blanket
euphoria - Is the fundraising market headed for a
significant downturn? - No but there will be a significant bifurcation
between winners and losers and major allocation
shifts within asset classes - What is the likely complexion of the market
players in the future? - GPs global brand platforms and specialty players
will dominate - LPs the largest LPs will wield increasing power
in the market

19 So the Question Remains Will the PE Revolution
Continue?
- Middle Market Transactions
- Notwithstanding the current credit dislocation
this trend will continue - Asia and Emerging Economies
- Asia is attracting an enormous flow of capital
- Distressed Investing and Credit Opportunities
- Market disruption will cause shifts in allocation
to distressed players and credit funds - Growth Capital
- Favorable market conditions for growth capital
investing exist due to lack of available
financing - Infrastructure
- An enormous volume of assets are now being
targeted by private equity - Public Market Stakes
- Increasing opportunities to take active minority
stakes in public companies
20 And Will There Be Capital to Fund Demand for
PE?
- Sovereign Wealth Funds Globally
- Middle East Investors
- Russian Oligarchs
- Increasing Allocations of Pension Funds
- Direct Investors
- Hedge Funds
21Sovereign Wealth Funds
The Largest Sovereign Wealth Funds ( in Millions)
22Continued Demand for Alternatives to Fund Pension
Gap
Aging populations across the world and pension
plan asset/liability mismatch are expected to
fuel demand for alternative assets. Pension
deficits in the US alone total almost 500
billion.

25Evolving Global Sources of Capital
- Large share of private equity market but growing
slowly - Many well established programs reducing number of
relationships - Strategy become a core portfolio holding
- Large market with new entrants
- Expand relationship with larger players across
countries
- Oil revenues drive increase in commitments for
foreseeable future - Number of new entrants by investor type and
geography - Important to establish proper base from which
to expand relationships
Middle East
- Growth in defined benefit programs spur increase
in commitments - Large established programs with newer programs
coming on line
Asia (ex. Japan)
- Growing interest in alternatives with wide
spectrum of sophistication and appetite - Need a targeted marketing strategy in general
mostly too early for India and China - Inroads today may prove beneficial in the long run
- Established players returning to market but focus
on well known names - Privatization of pension system could create
significant potential - Leverage marquee name to expand base
Japan
- Superannuation growth drive markets and will
expand - Investors transition from Fund-of-Funds to direct
fund investing
Aus / N.Z.
26The Limited Partners Dilemma and Opportunities
- Managing a multi-alternative asset platform is
critical for performance - The PE, hedge funds, real estate and
infrastructure sectors are increasingly
inter-related - Most sophisticated institutional investors are
evaluating sectors concurrently - Mega funds now dominate most investor private
equity portfolios - Risk to diversification requirement among many of
the large investors - However, investors cannot adequately review the
over 500 funds in the market yearly - Market will increasingly bifurcate as investors
continue to target fewer relationships - Fewer relationships relieves operational
impediments to growth in asset allocation - It will be increasingly difficult for funds to
penetrate new institutional relationships - Investors are increasingly targeting more
strategic relationships - GPs going public may impact historical
relationships - Direct investments in GPs and direct sponsorship
of transactions are major focuses
