The 2nd Annual International

CIS Private Equity Forum
The Year of Success
5th ¡V 6th June 2006
Hotel Baltschug Kempinski, Moscow

Following the tremendous success of the first CIS PEF, we are proud to present this year¡¦s definitive private equity and venture capital event for the region. Expect to meet the key figures in the industry and discuss the most burning issues and strategies.

2005 was the first year when Russia did not experience net capital outflow and all rating agencies improved its credit ratings to investment grade. Ukraine, quite oppositely, saw the deterioration of the investment climate and at the same time the largest privatization deal in its history. The private equity activity in the region has also beaten all the previously established records and displayed marked successes in the fund raising and exits.

But the new times put forward the new challenges and issues:
„XHow far is the CIS from becoming a mainstream of private equity industry?
„XWhen a quantity of closed deals will turn into quality?
„XWhat is necessary to do to achieve such a breakthrough?
„XIs there a limit to growth in the region?
„XWhat sectors, countries and deals will be the most profitable in the years to come?
„XWhat institutional investors would like to hear from general partners involved in the region?
