ILPA Private Equity Principles Endorsements (Updated: April, 2017) ILPA Private Equity Principles Endorsements (Updated: April, 2017) Historically, the private equity partnership structure has been effective in aligning the interests of investors (the “limited partners”) with those individuals managing the money (the “general partner”). By sharing a substantial portion of profits with the general partner and requiring the general partner to have a meaningful equity interest in their own funds, a business culture was created where most private equity firms were able to maintain a single-minded determination to maximize returns on the underlying investments. The principles contained herein are a means to restore and strengthen the basic “alignment of interests” value proposition in private equity. Certain terms and conditions that have gradually evolved should receive renewed attention in private equity partnership agreements entered into prospectively in order to (i) correctly align interests between general partners and limited partners, (ii) enhance fund governance and (iii) provide greater transparency to investors. A summary of private equity principles is provided below. Appendix A contains details on preferred private equity terms, and Appendix B contains best practices for Limited Partner Advisory Committees (“LPAC”). The concepts contained in these documents reflect suggested best practices and are intended to serve as a basis for continued discussion among and between the general partner and limited partner communities with the goal of improving the private equity industry for the long-term benefit of all its participants. These documents were developed through the efforts, contributions and collaboration of many institutional private equity investors and their senior investment officers, the Institutional Limited Partners Association (“ILPA”) and the Private Equity Principles and Best Practices Committee of the ILPA Board of Directors. They reflect the input and feedback from these market leaders and from discussion amongst limited partners at ILPA roundtable events and from a comprehensive survey/questionnaire of the ILPA membership. Endorsement of the ILPA Private Equity Principles The ILPA has authored the ILPA Private Equity Principles, a document that contains best practice concepts and that speaks to issues relating to the alignment of interest between general partners and limited partners, fund governance and transparency and reporting. It is intended to serve as a common framework for continued discussion among and between the general partner and limited partner communities with the goal of improving the private equity industry for the long-term benefit of all its participants. Endorsement of these Principles is an indication of general support for the efforts of the ILPA and industry supporters to contribute to an effort to strengthen the basic “alignment of interests” value proposition in private equity. The authors, sponsors and the groups below that have provided an endorsement of these Principles are not specifically committing to (nor seeking the commitment) of any private equity investor to each and every outlined term. The following organizations have recently added their endorsement to the ILPA Private Equity Principles: ABB Merchant Banking CapRidge Partners, LLC CrowdOut Capital Indiana Public Retirement System (INPRS) Lighthouse Funds, LLC M&G Private Funds Investment SDS Capital Group Sky Tree Partners Yesna Capital Complete list of organizations that have endorsed the ILPA Private Equity Principles: ABB Merchant Banking General Partner* Aberdeen Asset Management Adveq Management AG Abu Dhabi Investment Authority AEW Capital Management Access Capital Partners Al Masah Capital Limited Achmea Investment Management B.V.

  • Regis Group and Ares Management Form Haven Capital
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REGIS GROUP AND ARES MANAGEMENT FORM HAVEN CAPITAL Haven Capital Seeks to Capitalize on Ground Lease Opportunities in Top Markets Across the U.S. New York – November 16, 2020 – Regis Group (“Regis”) and funds managed by the Real Estate Equity and Alternative Credit strategies of Ares Management Corporation (“Ares”) today announced the formation of Haven Capital, an originator of customized ground lease positions in high quality assets across the U.S. Formed as a joint venture between Regis and the Ares funds, Haven Capital aims to capitalize ground lease opportunities in most real estate sectors in the top 50 markets with an initial capacity in excess of $1.0 billion. Haven Capital will target ground leases across all asset classes with a minimum $20 million transaction size. For real estate owners and developers, Haven Capital’s 99-year ground lease structure has the potential to increase asset values by separating land and buildings while reducing equity requirements, and thus, the total cost of capital. Further, Haven Capital can provide owners with the option to repurchase the property during the term or at the maturity of the ground lease. Haven Capital has appointed Joe Shanley to lead the growth of its platform. Prior to Haven Capital, Mr. Shanley was a Vice President at SL Green Realty, managing equity and debt investments for a variety of asset types across the New York region. “Regis has an established track record of identifying emerging opportunities in real estate and building national platforms to offer solutions for the market,” said Nick Gould, Chairman and Founder, Regis Group.
