For the most recent funds established in Luxemburg, Schroder Investment Management (Europe) S.A. has
been appointed to act as alternative investment fund manager (‘AIFM’) and as such, to provide certain
services including investment management services (i.e. risk and portfolio management). The AIFM has in
return appointed Schroders Capital Management (Switzerland) AG to provide portfolio management and
certain administrative services to these funds.
Since the founding of the first entity of the Schroder Capital Private Equity Group, Schroders Capital Private
Equity’s investment management and advisory services have been focused mainly on investments in
private equity funds but we may also advise on direct investments in portfolio companies. In general, we
offer our services through three business lines:
(i.) Private equity investment services to funds or fund-of-funds: Schroders Capital Private Equity
provides investment management services to privately offered funds (each, a ‘Schroders Capital
Private Equity Fund’, collectively the ‘Schroders Capital Private Equity Funds’) organized and
sponsored by Schroders Capital Private Equity. Each Schroders Capital Private Equity Fund is
controlled by its General Partner (‘GP’) which is ultimately controlled by Schroders plc. Schroders
Capital Private Equity or the AIFM, provides discretionary investment management services to each
GP pursuant to the terms of an investment management agreement it has entered into with the GP of
each Schroders Capital Private Equity Fund.
The terms and conditions of each Schroders Capital Private Equity Fund, as well as the requirements
to invest in a Schroders Capital Private Equity Fund, are set out in the respective fund documents.
1Note: ‘Schroders Capital Private Equity’ is not a legal entity but refers to the Private Equity business of Schroders Capital.

Private Equity Fund.

on a global basis. To date, Schroders Capital Private Equity has organized 47 private funds and

(ii.) Private equity investment services to selected clients: Schroders Capital Private Equity also
provides global investment advisory and management services to select clients (each, a ‘Mandate’,
collectively ‘Mandate Clients’). These services include aiding Mandate Clients in the set-up,
implementation and management or advising of private equity investment programs on either
discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Mandate Clients are typically structured as limited
partnerships, with an affiliate of Schroders Capital Private Equity serving as the GP of such
partnerships. Schroders Capital Private Equity may advise Mandate Clients on private equity
investments in privately offered funds or on direct investments in portfolio companies in which
Schroders Capital Private Equity Funds might also be invested. All services are agreed individually
with each Mandate Client. Such agreements typically outline the Mandate’s investment purpose,
objectives, strategy and limitations, and restrictions on investing in certain segments or types of private
equity investments.
(iii.) Private Equity overage transactions with selected clients: Where an investment opportunity is in
excess of the capacity or requirements of Schroders Capital Private Equity’s existing funds and
mandates, Schroders Capital Private Equity may also selectively provide the possibility to other
investors to invest in such opportunities. These investments are typically structured as limited
partnerships, with an affiliate of Schroders Capital Private Equity serving as the GP of such
partnerships. These vehicles may either invest in a single investment opportunity or may hold multiple
investments done over time. All services are agreed individually with each investor (the ‘Overage
Mandates’).
The services described above are tailored to each client's objectives and guidelines. Prior to giving
investment recommendations or making investments, Schroders Capital Private Equity reviews and
considers the respective Schroders Capital Private Equity Fund’s or Mandate Client’s individual investment
objectives, strategy and restrictions.
