Asian Private Equity & Buyouts Forum Asian Private Equity: Global Force in the ‘Smart Economy’ Conrad Hong Kong Thursday, 15 November 2007 8:00 / Registration and Coffee 8:15 / 2006/2007 - The Year in Stats AVCJ’s and IE Consulting’s crack research teams provide a statistical overview and analysis of Asian private equity (venture capital) for 2006/2007. All you need to know about where the deals are, who’s doing them and what may lie ahead. 9:00 / Welcome Remarks 9:10 / Keynote Address James Coulter, Founding Partner, TPG Capital, LP 9:45 / Keynote Session: (Asian) Private Equity—Global Force in a ‘Smart Economy’ Private equity has not only responded to the demands of today’s ‘Smart Economy,’ but addresses “a 200-year-old problem” that modern capitalism and public markets have created: the separation between owners and managers. And, with many leading funds equal in size to the world’s largest corporations, its practitioners can no longer say, “sorry, we’re not here.” Our panelists weigh the many factors that will drive—and challenge—the industry’s future growth and success. • Private equity as MNCs • ‘Private Equity’ or ‘Private Debt’? • What happens after the US$100 bn GP? • “People” factors: superior organization, due diligence, performance-linked compensation – superior DNA? 10:45 / Tea / Coffee Break - Sponsored by - 11:15 / Why Private Equity has Produced Superior Returns for Investors Buyouts have evolved dramatically since their early days 30 years ago and may well thrive for years to come. But their success lies in the ability to deliver concrete results for investors—the world’s public and private pension funds and other institutional investors. Our panelists look at the strategic STREAM ONE 15:30 / Leveraging the Leverage: Taking Out the Banks—At a Price As the credit markets traverse the steep slope of the liquidity crunch, investors have pulled back and syndicated loans remain parked on the banks’ balance sheets. Investment banks are watching fees evaporate while shoring up their own commitments and positions. Enter cash laden GPs and “be prepared” hedge funds, who stand to earn more by buying up the US$320-$400 billion in unfunded commitments—at a discount—than the carry on their own deals. Panelists provide insights into the market’s depth, who’s willing (or has) to play, and at what price. 16:30 / CHIME “The China-India-Middle East” Private Equity Silk Road Elevated to “buzzword” status by one of the world’s top consulting firms, CHIMEs takes its cue from the investment links between the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) and East Asia that have quadrupled over the past decade. Much of that has been driven by energy demands, but real estate and financial services have been equally significant. GCC leaders have also realized that their oil reserves have a finite life, and they must develop a domestic infrastructure as well as investing overseas. Panelists explore the potential for the movement of capital, technology and talent amongst this long-established economic corridor. • Identifying GCC investment opportunities in China, India and Islamic Asia • Can private equity play a role in assisting the GCC to diversify their economies? • Fundraising trends—for both Western and Middle East GPs • Partnering with “local firms” along the CHIME private equity and venture ‘silk road’ forces and operational choices that underlie the recent surge in this $1 trillion asset class. • Market factors: low interest rates, high liquidity, multiple exit strategies • Relative performance of private equity versus the public markets over the past 10 years. 12:30 / Luncheon - Sponsored by - Keynote Address David Rubenstein, Co-Founder & Managing Director, The Carlyle Group 14:00 / Son of Soros: Leveraged Financing Takes a Hit Out of tiny crises, mighty meltdowns grow. Asian private equity is no stranger to liquidity crunches, having transformed the 1997 financial crisis into a springboard to ultimate redemption. Now, a decade later, we are seeing a fresh “correction”: as banks fight shy of unconventional loan covenants, companies no longer can command unprecedented EBITDA multiples, and Asia’s overheated bourses may be running out of steam. How lasting is the damage? Will lower multiples outweigh higher financing costs? Can the banks syndicate the $400 billion or so in deals in the buyout pipeline? Will the region’s fund managers stage an encore on the carnage? Panelists opine. 15:00 / Tea / Coffee Break - Sponsored by - 15:30 / Streams (see below) 18:00 / Buses leave the Conrad at 6:00 pm sharp for Four Seasons Hotel 18:30 / Gala Cocktail Reception - Sponsored by - Four Seasons Hotel • Central Grand Ballroom Foyer 19:30 / Annual Gala Banquet Dinner Four Seasons Hotel • Central • Grand Ballroom Keynote Interview - Sponsored by - Hamilton James, President & Chief Operating Officer, Blackstone Group STREAM T wo 15:30 / Growth Capital & Mid Market: Growing Well ‘Under the Radar’ Small- to mid-cap companies make up a significant driver of growth in emerging markets. Businesses are fast growing, and the underlying rise in earnings alone can be sufficient to create IRRs similar to buyouts. Furthermore, governments are increasingly aware of the need to encourage this segment. Veteran midmarket fund managers give their updates on the opportunities arising from regulatory change, greater acceptance by familyowned businesses, and taking enterprises global and/or public. 16:30 / Hard Assets for a Developing World: PE as a Growth Engine in Infrastructure and Real Estate As the world’s infrastructure needs soar, governments are actively soliciting private sector financing and execution. Taking China’s 5-year US$1.6 trillion budget for infrastructure together with India’s US$320 billion plan, Asia will soon overtake North America and Europe in infrastructure spending. An increasingly affluent middle class across the continent is fueling demand for retail and residential complexes, as well as leisure facilities, hotels and better offices. Private equity funds companies servicing the fast-growing real estate and infrastructure sectors and, in some cases, the developers themselves. Leaders in both fields discuss: • The advantages of PPP/PFI over government-funded projects • Private equity’s value add to infrastructure plays—funding, delivering returns to investors and exiting • Routes to tap the real estate and infrastructure growth stories without tying capital up for longer than the tenor of the average closed-end fund • The role of sympathetic and well-engineered developments in tackling climate change
