Investmentapproach Investment strategy for later stage co-investments • Geographic focus: exclusive focus on expansion and buyout transactions both in Europe and North America • Investment size: up to EUR 100 million with an average between EUR 20-60 million • Sweet spot: investments will typically be made to the extent that they fall within the sweetspot of the general partner • Board representation: For substantial co-investments, AlpInvest Partners will seek board representation • Diversification: expected to close on average 10 investments per annum

  9. The added value of co-investments CO-INVESTMENTS ENHANCE THE RETURN PROFILE OF A FUND INVESTMENT PROGRAM • Improve terms and conditions • No transaction fee • No management fee • No carry • Improve the selection capability for primary and secondary fund investments • ... BY HAVING A VALUABLE LOOK ‘IN THE KITCHEN’ • Operating style • Breadth and depth of organization including key decision makers • Value creation skills • Reduce J-curve Bridge information asymmetry between GP and LP This is further explained on the next slide

  10. The added value of co-investments 250% CO-INVESTMENTS REDUCE THE J-CURVE OF A FUND OF FUNDS PRODUCT 200% 150% 100% % of committed capital 50% 0% 0 10 20 30 40 50 -50% -100% Time in quarters J-curve FOF including 12.5% co-investments J-curve FOF excluding co-investments Source: AlpInvest Partners team analysis (The J-curve would further improve by adding a secondary allocation to the investment focus)

  11. Key success factors AN INTEGRATED INVESTMENT APPROACH IS A KEY REQUIREMENT FOR SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF A CO-INVESTMENT PROGRAM • Origination • A (significant) primary fund commitment is a prerequisite to attract co-investment deal flow • Continuous marketing of co-investment appetite • Execution • A professional operating style including an efficient, transparent and reliable decisionmaking process • A two tier investment approach by making an in-depth assessment of both the: • GP and • The transaction A transaction should fit the GP’s ‘sweet spot’

  13. Investment approach fund investments AlpInvest Partners adheres to a disciplined approach of investing with the aim to annually select the best in breed managers: • annual investment program approximately EUR 1.2 - 1.5 billion • annually 20 - 30 commitments to primary funds • geographically diversified (US, EU, Rest of the World) ALLOCATION OF PRIMARY FUNDS NORTH AMERICA TOTAL EUROPE EMERGING MARKETS 10-25% 10-30% 10-20% 30-60% 0-10% 10-30% 10-20% 30-60% 0-10% 0-10% 0-10% 5-25% 20-35% 40-60% 25-45% 100% VENTURE CAPITAL GROWTH & MID-MARKET BUYOUTS LARGE BUYOUTS TOTAL

  14. Disciplined top-down allocation and bottom-up selection Top Down Allocation Targets • Mandate; i.e. capital to be deployed, target segments, # slots and ticket sizes, time-frame • Balanced Private Equity Portfolio Top Down Allocation Bottom Up Selection Short term Portfolio Adjustments

  15. Deriving top down allocation targets within the private equity asset class is a difficult and painstaking process, due to imperfect and inconsistent data. However, opportunistic allocation-approaches based on untidy research leads to herd behavior ...if you don’t know where you are heading, any road will get you there...
