Alignment between GP and LPs

• GPs and LPs are aligned as minimum watermark IRR for LPs needs to be achieved before GP participates in the carry

• Common carry split between LPs and GPs is 80/20, and the common base fee is 2%, hence the PE jargon of “2 and 20”

• A preferred return or watermark IRR is usually determined by the sector

• In African property, the watermark IRR ranges from 8 to 10%, depending on the type of real estate fund (income vs development)

• LPs are also starting to take positions in GPs

Private Equity in South Africa

• South Africa’s Pension Funds Act was reformed in 2011, with key amendments to Regulation 28 of the Act which sets out the allocation cap for various asset classes.

• South African pension funds can now invest up to 10% of their total assets in private equity subject to limitations (an increase from previous allocation caps of 2.5%)

• Over the last year total PE funds under management increased by 10% to over R126.4 billion, but pension funds are slow on the uptake.1

• As at 2012, it is estimated that despite considerable GEPF investments, less than 1% of South African pension fund assets under management (“AUM”) was invested in private equity.2

Private Equity Concerns Allayed: Swensen and Markowitz

• Liquidity concern regarding PE is perhaps a red-herring in the context of pension funds. It is relevant only when issues of short-term solvency are to be considered. Is this a material consideration for pension funds, which have long-term liabilities and thus logically should also be adopting long-term investment strategies?

• Other asset classes are not in fact nearly so illiquid as they may at first appear. There is a thriving secondary market for private equity partnership interests. Property, certainly prime property in a prime location, is always saleable.

• Property, as an “alternative” asset pre-dates quoted equities as an investment by at least 2,000 years.

• Legally defined liquidity creates the ability to convert securities into cash at a moment's notice is naïve and unsound. Many investors on Black Monday were unable to sell even FTSE100 shares as the demand for dealing capacity simply overwhelmed the system. Trading in large blocks of listed equities is not as liquid as imagined.

• There is a tendency among trustees and consultants alike to regard “illiquid” and “alternative” assets as the same, and it seems followers of “alternative” assets might be compared to the original protestants who brought about the Reformation.

African Property Fundamentals…

• Massive retail shortage• Lack of higher grade quality office space• Deficiency of industrial space• Increasing need for warehousing and logistics centres as retailers enter the

markets• Lack of good roads and public transportation creates demand for housing

Private Equity in Property Development: a different type of investment

• Spend time on the ground walking the streets

• Develop partnerships with long term local developers

• Entrench in the economic environment

• Long – term sustainable, responsible investing

• Take time to understand how things work

Recognise the Opportunities

but alsoRecognise the

Risks

Opportunities are bright, but challenges remainAfrica clustered toward the bottom of global rankings

• The World Bank recognises progress made by African countries since its first listing in 2005

• African countries have a long way to go

Long list of risks to be considered

• Buckets of Risk to Manage

Country• Political risk• Bribery and corruption • Bleak international perception

Currency and Interest Rates• Currency risk• Rental payments in local currency• Interest rate and tenor risk

Operating Environment• Lack of infrastructure• Credibility of partners• Lack of available debt funding

Legal Environment• Inefficient policies• Tax risk• Legal and contracting risks

Risks are real and have to be managedExercise even greater caution to ensure you are protected

Specifically related to Property:

• Land Tenure – need for local partnerships

• Ability to Execute – need for service provider partnerships

• Ease of distribution – need for retailer & investor/developer partnerships

We need to take action

• Perspective: assuming a glass-half-full perspective that focuses first on opportunity, and only then on the risks that need to be managed

• Partnerships: investing in building strong collaborative partnerships across government, business and communities and with each other

• Planning: adopting careful long-term planning, and patience; persistence and flexibility in implementing those plans

• People: nurturing and developing Africa's human talent: arguably the continent’s greatest resource

Embracing Africa’s diversity unlocks opportunities
