Private Equity<br />

The investment managers of our private equity subsidiary,<br />

<strong>Alliance</strong> <strong>Trust</strong> Equity Partners Limited, continue to manage<br />

investments made by third parties in the four venture capital<br />

funds that were set up prior to its acquisition as well as the<br />

private equity exposure of the Company. As at 31 January <strong>2008</strong><br />

over £18m of third party funds were being managed. The<br />

intention is that the exposure of the Company to private equity<br />

investments will grow as part of the investment strategy to<br />

invest across a range of asset classes to secure performance in all<br />

economic cycles.<br />
