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.

Property
Fundamentals…
Property demand outweighs supply
•
•
•
•
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 fundamentals are strong

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 also
Recognise the
Risks
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
Long list of risks to be considered
• Buckets of Risk to Manage
Country
• Political risk
• Bribery and corruption
• Bleak international perception
Operating Environment
• Lack of infrastructure
• Credibility of partners
• Lack of available debt funding
Currency and Interest Rates
• Currency risk
• Rental payments in local currency
• Interest rate and tenor risk
Legal Environment
• Inefficient policies
• Tax risk
• Legal and contracting risks
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
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
