CFO/COO
PRIVATE DEBT
LONDON 2019

Welcome to the LPGP Connect CFO/COO Private Debt London conference.

As private debt and other alternative investments continue to come of age and as funds take on more
responsibility, back-office operations are playing a critical role now more than ever. LPGP Connect has
produced this forum to help GPs navigate the complex environment of operations, finance and compliance
by bringing together C-level executives to discuss how they are tackling these issues through educational,
panel-lead discussions.

The event is designed to examine the roles of CFOs and COOs in relation to back office and daily
operations by looking at topics such as fund administration, valuations, currency management, operational
leverage, human capital, carry plans, regulations and compliance. The event will also examine the role of
technology and digital business models, bolting a debt fund onto an existing equity platform and ESG.

Our aim is to help GPs optimise their funds by adding operational value and adapting to their growing
responsibilities. Whether you are a service provider seeking new prospects or a manager looking to acquire
solutions for your fund, we would like to extend our invitation to attend the networking and lunch breaks
followed by a drinks reception at the end of the day. Our team is on-site to assist you with anything you
require.

We would like to give a very special thanks to our sponsors and event partners who supported this
conference, and to our attendees and speakers for interesting and insightful discussions. We look forward
to bringing you a successful event.

ESG, the language of sustainability

Are responsible managers and employers doing enough on ESG?

Whether driven by ethics, a desire to attract investment or as a risk management tool, Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) considerations are a hot topic in the private debt world and likely to become increasing important. A
number of headlines have claimed how demand for ESG investment professionals has skyrocketed in recent years and
there are many surveys that indicate ESG factors will play a greater role in investment selection in the years to come.
EY stated that sustainable investment strategies have grown by 107.4% annually since 2012 and demand for such
strategies is being driven, in part, by millennials who prefer to invest in alignment with their personal values. Since
millennials are poised to receive more than US$30 trillion of inheritable wealth, sustainable investments will continue to
grow in demand. The Legg Mason Global Investment Survey found that over 70% of millennials would invest in
sustainable funds over funds that don’t consider sustainability.

Starting with the environment, tackling climate change is arguably the biggest issue of our time and is obviously
extremely high profile. Greta Thunberg might be leading the way but individuals, business as well as Government have
a duty to make a positive difference. Bob Jackson, CIO of the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board stated that
they would operate an ESG policy by inclusion rather than through prohibition of investments like fossil fuels, however,
as public opinion strengthens perhaps the risk of association will reverse this position. A recent survey by Barclays of
large fixed income managers found that only 18% of them rated the environment as the most important element of
ESG, however, more than 50% of investors ranked the environment as their top consideration.

Pull out quote: ”Managers will need to reprioritise to align themselves to their target investors.”

Al Gore famously stated, “Pollution should never be the price of prosperity” and it feels like investors are starting to
agree. MP Mary Crelagh, Chairwoman of the Environmental Audit Committee advised that “It is encouraging that a
majority of the UK’s largest pension funds say they are taking steps to manage the risks that climate change poses to
UK pension investments”.

The Social element of ESG is often mixed up with the environment, however, social considerations are an equally
important factor in their own right. Infrastructure Investor reported how asset management giants Blackstone and
Brookfield missed out on investment from the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund last year because of a deficit in
workplace diversity. There are now numerous surveys and league tables ranking employers in terms of diversity and
the best places to work and therefore it would not be surprising if this information was considered more closely for
manager and intermediary selection in future.

Millennials and the growth of sustainable investing
In order to attract and retain the best and brightest talent, it is no longer just about remuneration and benefits package.
In a similar vein to the importance of sustainability in investment selection we are seeing greater importance placed
upon an employer’s standing as a good corporate citizen when deciding where millennials choose to build a career.
Potential employees at interview are increasingly being asking how the company contributes to the local community
and how staff can make a difference to society as part of their career. Initiatives like Mental Health Week have helped
to raise the focus on employers’ responsibility towards their staffs’ wellbeing and flexible working hours, mental health
champions and in-house mindfulness classes are becoming more and more common.

ESG takes root
Governance is probably the area that has been of most significance for fund administrators in relation to ESG. In recent
years’ investors have undertaken increasingly detailed due diligence on their investments, investment managers and
service providers. This has mainly focused on risk management, security, controls, business continuity and experience
etc., however, in line with what has happened with investment managers I would expect the administrator Due
Diligence Questionnaires to start to include areas on diversity, culture, environmental policy and sustainability.
A BNP Paribas survey cited data (or lack thereof) as the biggest barrier to integrating ESG factors into their investment
selection process. In future I expect corporate service providers to play a big role in overcoming this obstacle. There is
a general acknowledgement across the industry that the quality of sustainability-related data is limited. The EU’s
sustainable finance action plan includes considering issues for asset managers obtaining quality data.

Without a level playing field it is difficult for investors to make worthwhile comparisons between potential investments
without standardisation on how ESG factors are measured and recorded. There is a danger of “green-washing” as
entities look to exaggerate their ESG credentials. The difficulty essentially comes down to what should be included,
how is it measured and how is it presented (sometimes ESG is integrated into the financial statements, included as a
separate report or referred to an ESG policy on a company’s website) and all of these variables can change depending
on investor or managers’ stance on the matter.

Positively, several groups have been looking for solutions, including non-regulatory bodies. For instance, the Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board have developed
qualitative and quantitative industry-specific disclosure standards, however, when it comes to the regulatory
approaches there is still a differing of opinion, especially when it comes to either side of the Atlantic. At the moment, in
its most basic form, the US, ESG selection must be justified by explaining why it is necessary for an investment, while
in Europe it must be explained why ESG factors are not considered.

The private equity world has been looking at ESG factors and reporting for longer than private debt, however, this is
probably not an example of something that our younger industry can leverage off to catch up. Private equity managers
could look at a company with poor ESG as an opportunity that they could turn around and add value in private debt,
however this is unlikely given that our control over borrowers would be limited to provisions included in the loan
documents, therefore we would be looking at ESG factors from very different angles.

Cost saving through outsourcing
There are also a potential extra costs to be considered as a result of ESMA’s technical advice to the Commission on
amendments to the UCITS, AIFMD and MiFID 2 Level 2 frameworks. For example, whether managers will need to hire
extra staff with specific ESG expertise, or purchase new technology, to ensure that sustainability risks and factors are
effectively integrated into their systems and processes. By outsourcing these responsibilities to a service provider
these costs can be managed and the expertise brought in to satisfy the requirements and provide additional comfort to
investors that this is being provided independently.

recognise that managing this uncertainty comes down to balancing the cost
and time of devising a hedging strategy, against the protection it will provide.
