The 2022 HEC-DowJones Private Equity Performance Ranking (“2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking”), published on February 8, 2023, ranks private equity funds in terms of aggregate performance based on buyout funds raised between 2009 and 2018. The ranking draws on private equity fund performance data provided by Preqin and data reported directly to HEC-DowJones. The 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking analyzed performance data from 563 private equity firms and the 2021 funds they raised between 2009 and 2018 with an aggregate equity volume of $1.51 trillion. No compensation was paid by Veritas to HEC-DowJones in exchange for, or connection with, the 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking. Following release of the 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking, Veritas engaged Professor Gottschalg Research GmbH (“PGR”) and its Founder and Head of Research, Oliver Gottschalg for a limited scope review of the performance of Veritas’ seven equity funds (the “Flagship Private Equity Funds”). Mr. Gottschalg, who is also the author of HEC-DowJones ranking, did not have a relationship with Veritas prior to such engagement. The 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking should not be considered an endorsement of Veritas or its funds by the authors or distributors of the ranking. Veritas makes no representations or warranties as to accuracy, completeness or reliability of information contained in the 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking. Veritas does not intend to invest in the funds comprising the 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking. In addition, the funds comprising the 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking are invested across a variety of industries whereas the Flagship Private Equity Funds have focused since September 1998, on the target industries, which include the sectors of aerospace & defense, communications, education, energy, government services, healthcare, national security, software and other sectors supported by a government-related customer base or impacted by government regulation or policy. For the foregoing and other reasons, the returns achieved by the Flagship Private Equity Funds and the returns comprising the 2022 HEC-DowJones Ranking are not comparable.
