HOSTING SESSION
A NICHE STRATEGY FOR INVESTING IN PRIVATE EQUITY
The strategy.
The investment model.
The importance of firm infrastructure.
Kidd & Company, LLC is the private investment arm of the Kidd Family Office and traces its roots to 1976 when Bill Kidd
made his first private equity investment. Since that time, the firm has grown and prospered with a non-traditional
approach to private equity, both in terms of firm structure and investment philosophy. Unlike a typical private equity fund,
the partners of KCO fund the operations of the business and personally invest in every deal.
We seek opportunities in the lower middle market ($2 to $10 MM of EBITDA) where the complementary skills and
experience of our partners can be applied to create value over time by fundamentally improving the businesses in which
we invest. We look to partner with founders/owners and senior management of companies who have created valuable
franchises but who, for personal, professional and financial reasons, have reached a stage in their business life cycle where
they desire outside resources—managerial, operational and financial—to help them take their businesses to the next level.
We are industry generalists, where the unifying theme is to execute against a well-developed strategic plan to improve the
underlying business operations, accelerate growth, create and/or enhance competitive differentiation and improve
profitability. Our firm structure allows us to be more creative and flexible in the types of transactions we evaluate, and in
the manner in which we structure our investments.
Highlights of the Opportunity
Acquisition and integration of 3 software/service companies that sell software and services that enable users to optimize
the selection of carriers for the shipment of parcel freight. Platform companies have revenue and EBITDA of $40 million
and $9.8 million, respectively, for 2016.
USPs of the Opportunity
Our IRR track record. 46.4% on realized and unrealized transactions.
Investments made on a direct, deal by deal basis by a family office investor.
Proven ability to acquire multiple companies as part of an investment strategy and integrate them successfully.
William Kidd, Founding Partner
William Kidd is the founding partner of Kidd & Company. Previously he was a founding partner of
Kidd, Kamm & Company. Prior to joining the predecessor of Kidd, Kamm & Company, he was a
senior operating office of 15 Broad Street Corporation, a wholly owned venture capital subsidiary
of the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. Before joining 15 Broad Street Corporation, he was
employed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. He is a graduate of Cornell University,
where he also received an MBA degree from its Graduate School of Business and Public
Administration.

PROJECT HAWK: A NEW STRATERGY FOR INCREASING RETURNS ON EXISITING U.S. REAL ESTATE

Great opportunity to invest in the USA with local management, conservative strategy, and solid returns.
Direct investment – Not a fund or a blind pool.
Excellere Capital Group is a boutique investment firm based in Houston, Texas, USA that focuses mainly on Real Estate and
Energy (oil and gas). We leverage our expertise to create value in every phase of the deals we pursue. We use a balanced
approach, blending short- and long-term investments to generate positive returns and manage risk. In short-term plays, we
seek higher returns and clear exit strategies; in long-term opportunities we pursue stable cash flow. With each opportunity, We
thoroughly analyse the foreseen, prepare for the unforeseen, and execute aggressively when opportune. Once we’ve taken our
position, we add value through our operational, financial, and risk management capabilities. This diversified approach helps
create life-long relationships with our investors.
ECG is constantly reviewing deals and analysing markets for great investment opportunities. We compare different investments
and their respective markets, and we analyse opportunity costs based on technical metrics and due diligence. We identify the
markets and opportunities that are the best investments relative to the many others. Once we have determined the best
position to take, we develop and execute the investment plan with discipline and precision.
Highlights of the Opportunity
We acquire existing real estate assets with strong current and historical cash-flow performance
We reduce operating expenses, resulting in increased income, cash flow, and property value
The model is proven and repeatable, and we focus on capital preservation
Our model allows investors to receive returns usually reserved for real-estate development, but with the risk levels of
buying existing cash-flowing assets
USPs of the Opportunity
Not a fund – Direct Investment. Investor receives 100% of equity of assets
ECG aligned with investors - 0% Asset Management Fee and below-industry-average property management fees align
ECG with investor, as ECG will only make money after performance
Focus on capital preservation without sacrificing return on investment

PRIVATE TIMBERLAND - LONG TERM REAL ASSETS
Implementation considerations and investment opportunities
Why invest in timberland? Review of the main characteristics of timberland as an asset class, including low
correlations, inflation hedge, biological growth, and long term potential due to wood supply-demand imbalance.
Investment routes and other parameters to consider before investing in timberland.
Review of IWC’s main advantages including global forestry expertise and unparalleled access to information.
Otto Reventlow, Chief Executive Officer
CEO of IWC since its establishment 25 years ago, Otto is one of the pioneers of European institutional
timberland investments worldwide. Today, Otto owns over 25% of IWC and is responsible for the
overall management of the group with a focus on IWC’s business development activities. Prior to his
engagement with IWC, Otto worked for the Danish Private Forest Owners Association responsible for
the valuation of Danish and foreign forest properties. Otto has an MSc in forestry from the Royal
Veterinary and Agricultural University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Highlights
IWC has worked closely with institutional investors on their strategy, implementation and management of globally diversified
private timberland investment strategies across regions, tree species, forest regimes, products, end-markets, structures and
managers. Strategies may have a focus on core mature timberland markets like the US, Australia and New Zealand, as well as
an emphasis on targeted known assets via co-investment and secondary opportunities. IWC believes that its experience and
resources makes it well positioned to exploit inefficiencies of a fragmented and non-transparent global private timberland
universe. Timberland has historically provided real asset characteristics through uncorrelated returns comprised of stable
income and appreciation.

Sector Asset Management
Sector Asset Management was founded in 1999 and is one of Norway’s largest independent, skill-based,
investment firms, managing a range of non-mainstream, high value-added strategies.

relentlessly challenge the status quo.
That’s the reason why Sector Asset Management is unconventional, from top to bottom:
Business Model: We select the best investment talent, we allow them to focus exclusively on what they do best
Investing and trading, in complete autonomy – while keeping their risk under control for the safety of both our and
our clients’ money
Investment Strategies: Truly active, non-mainstream, focused by geography, industry, investment approach or specific
type of risk
Investment Team: High-potential investment managers, nurtured by Sector’s incubation and acceleration support.

DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES– DISRUPTIVE BUSINESS MODELS
Introduction to eCAPITAL.
Competence and Track Record.
eCAPITAL Fund IV.
Highlights of the Group
eCAPITAL entrepreneurial Partners AG is an entrepreneur-managed Venture Capital firm, which since 1999 invests in
innovative companies in promising sectors and actively supports the growth of their business. eCAPITAL currently manages
four Venture Capital funds and two regional Seed Capital funds with total assets under management of approximately €160
million.
In order to develop young technology companies and support their successful growth, eCAPITAL provides capital, know-how,
and an active network of key contacts. The Partners of eCAPITAL besides more than 20 years of active venture capital
experience on average, have a long-standing personal experience in establishing and successfully developing high-growth
companies. Based on that experience, eCAPITAL offers an integrated, comprehensive approach to manage its portfolio
companies.
eCAPITAL’s portfolio companies benefit from an Advisory Board comprised of prominent, exceptionally successful
entrepreneurs, and hence, access to a distinctive network of business partners and technologies. With its Funds II and III
eCAPITAL has delivered an excellent performance.
A major success for both funds has been e.g. the exit from the investment into Novaled AG, which was sold in late 2013 to the
Samsung Group. With an enterprise value of €230 million, this was the largest VC-Exit in Germany within 5 years (2009 –
2013). Most recently two portfolio companies of eCAPITAL from the Cleantech area managed to close funding rounds of €76
and €80 million respectively, without a doubt such large funding rounds are exceptional achievements within the European
venture capital market.
eCAPITAL benefits from a very high quality deal flow thanks to its unique and continuously growing network of contacts.
Access to science, research, and to many entrepreneurs in our key sectors result in more than 1,000 investment requests each
year.
