- Emerging Markets Private Equity is a relatively
immature industry - 10 years, 100 billion, Asia-centric
- Not monolithic regional and country variation
- 1990s Vintage Funds
- Modeled on U.S.
- Strong assumption of exits through IPOs
- Minority stakes and/or investments in family
owned businesses - Often first time, inexperienced fund managers
- Weak corporate governance at fund level
- The result disappointing performance
- Exogenous shocks closed off IPO markets
- Minority positions difficult to sell

11III. Current Climate
Renewed Investor Interest
- An EMPEA Survey conducted in March 2004,
indicated that 45 of LPs surveyed planned to
increase commitments to emerging markets - Do you expect your commitments to emerging
markets private equity funds to be higher, lower
or the same in 5 years?
- March 2004. Survey conducted for EMPEA by
Liberty Global Partners.
12What has Changed?
- Compelling macro-economic trends in China, India
- Globalization of the PE industry

markets - Leading US/Europe funds allocating to these
markets from existing funds - Increasing competition in the US/Europe,
narrowing return expectations - Seasoned domestic fund managers track records
can be analyzed - Fund managers more hands-on
- Improved regulatory/legal frameworks in some
markets - Stronger minority shareholder rights
- Greater acceptance of importance of corporate
governance - Investments made with a more realistic eye toward
exits - Trade sales
- Exit environment and returns are improving
