1 Overview of Private Equity in the Real Estate Market IRF Conference 20 August 2013

2 The Basics – A Generic PE Structure Private Equity Firm (General Partner or GP) Limited Partner or LP (Public Pension Funds, Corporate Pension Funds, Insurance Companies, High Net-Worth Individuals, Family Offices, Endowments, Foundations, Sovereign Wealth Funds) Private Equity Fund (generally an LLP) Investment Fund ownership of portfolio investments Ownership of the Fund Fund Investment & Management

3 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

4 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 1 South African Venture Capital Association 2 E. Pickworth (2012) “Pension fund ‘missing out on private equity”, Business Day (South Africa), 11 September 2012

5 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.

21 African Property Fundamentals…

22 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 near work locations Property demand outweighs supply

23 Property fundamentals are strong An opportunity for further 3 million m 2 of retail in Lagos Source: BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, IMF, Euromonitor, SACSC, CIA Factbook Johannesburg: 4,200,000m 2 formal retail & 3.6 million people Lagos: 42,000m 2 formal retail & 10.2 million people Citym² : people Johannesburg> 1 m² per capita Lagos0.005m² per capita Citym² : people Johannesburg>1m² per capita Lagos0.2m² per capita and if 1 person’s spending power in Johannesburg equals 4 people’s spending power in Lagos This represents an opportunity to develop up to 3,000,000m 2 of formal retail property in Lagos.

24 Formal retail undersupplied Source: STANLIB, BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, IMF, Euromonitor, SACSC, CIA Factbook Demand outweighs supply making rentals expensive Economic growth and relative population supportive 50 million people in Nigeria live above the poverty line

27 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

28 Recognise the Opportunities but also Recognise the Risks

29 Opportunities are bright, but challenges remain Africa 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

30 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

31 Risks are real and have to be managed Exercise 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

32 We need to take action Perspective: Perspective: assuming a glass-half-full perspective that focuses first on opportunity, and only then on the risks that need to be managed Partnerships: Partnerships: investing in building strong collaborative partnerships across government, business and communities and with each other Planning: Planning: adopting careful long-term planning, and patience; persistence and flexibility in implementing those plans People: People: nurturing and developing Africa's human talent: arguably the continent’s greatest resource Embracing Africa’s diversity unlocks opportunities Source ERNST & YOUNG Business in Africa Survey
