Future Investments and Concerns Current LP Appetite Snapshot Geographic Appetite % 30 25 20 15 10 institutional investor sentiment survey foreword executive summary allocation fees lp – gp relationship • future investments and concerns 5 0 Asia- Pacific CEE Latin America Source: Private Equity International Middle East/ Africa North America Western Europe appendix: global fundraising According to data from Private Equity International, LPs are keen to continue investing in developed markets in Western Europe (22 percent) and North America (27 percent) which are still the most popular choice for private equity investment. There is also appetite for emerging markets, such as Central and Eastern Europe and Middle East/Africa, which are likely to continue gaining popularity amongst investors in years to come. With uncertainty in global markets and sovereign debt crises plaguing developed nations, the risk associated with emerging markets is becoming less of an issue, particularly given the higher expected returns on offer. Latin America has seen a slight decline in interest, with nine percent of LPs expressing an appetite for the region, compared to the 10 percent who have currently allocated capital there. There are fears amongst some LPs of overheating economies which are leading to more cautious LP decision making, where the risk of instability is in some cases outweighing any additional returns which would be gained from such regions. page 29 www.privateequityconnect.com
Strategy Appetite institutional investor sentiment survey foreword executive summary allocation fees lp – gp relationship future investments • and concerns appendix: global fundraising Source: Private Equity International LP appetite for various fund strategies shows that although venture capital and buyout funds remain popular with private equity investors, when compared to LP allocation there is a slight decline in interest for these strategies in favour of others such as secondaries and mezzanine investments. Such preferences reflect the on-going difficulties faced by the industry in the wake of the financial crisis. Following an increasing interest in the purchase of secondary fund in 2011, the market has continued to gain momentum with many LPs committing to secondaries funds, in addition to selling their own existing fund interests on the secondaries market. In addition, a number of LPs are keen to reduce the number of GP relationships they maintain, without reducing their allocation to the asset class. Mezzanine funds are also garnering increased interest, in particular following the slow recovery in the debt market which traditionally supports the kind of deals carried out from buyout funds.

Another notable trend is the increase in interest in TMT, which in uncertain times is seen as a ‘safe’ investment opportunity. At present, 11 percent of LPs have allocated capital to a fund investing in TMT, however, 18 percent plan to invest in the sector in the near future. www.privateequityconnect.com
