OMIGSA International Private Equity Fund of Funds ('FOF')

The US$210 million private equity fund of funds is domiciled in Dublin. It is regulated by the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority and listed on the Irish Stock Exchange (SEDOL code: B29Z139).

The investment objective of the FOF is to maximize capital appreciation over the long term by investing in a select group of generalist Portfolio Funds, managed by reputable, independent, top-performing, private equity managers. The FOF will diversify its capital commitments among Portfolio Funds with an emphasis on growth and later stage assets. Geographic focus is on the U.S., Europe and Emerging Markets (selectively) in roughly equal portions. Sector focus is on “Generalists”, avoiding specialised narrow focus funds such as bio-tech, exploration, etc. To date, the FOF has made commitments to 12 Portfolio Funds globally.

The FOF has the following investment attractions:

• The FOF gives investors* access to a diversified global portfolio of private equity funds, managed by reputable, top-quartile and top-decile managers.
• The FOF is almost fully committed and accordingly, there is almost full visibility of the underlying Portfolio Funds.
• The FOF provides access to investors at a moderate investment size ($5 million minimum).
• There is significant exposure to the high growth Emerging Markets.
• The FOF is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and is highly regulated.

* At the moment, the FOF is available to SA institutional investors only.
