SEB Private Equity Fund SICAV-SIF – SEB Private Equity Opportunity Fund I
We wish to inform you that the Board of Directors for SEB Private Equity Fund SICAV-SIF – SEB Private Equity Opportunity Fund I, the sub fund, decided on 2 April 2019 to prolong duration until all underlying investments have been wound up, which is expected to occur within three years. Consequently, we expect the sub fund to expire 30 November 2022.

Most of the remaining assets are well into the harvest phase or are already fully realised. The market for realisation continues to be strong. To date, 147% of drawn capital has been returned to the shareholders (net proceeds of EUR 98.7 million), with 20% (approximately EUR 13.8 million) returned in the past 12 months. Currently, a market value of approximately EUR 15.8 million remains in the portfolio.

Please note the sub fund will no longer follow the risk diversification rules, because it has reached its exit phase. The sub fund’s share class affected by the prolonged duration has ISIN code LU0268880266.
