101 North Merion Ave., Bryn Mawr, PA 19010-2899, US
Bryn Mawr College Endowment is a relatively small investor in private equity and has a target allocation of 5% to the Assets Mgd (mn):
asset class. Fund of funds allows the endowment gain exposure to funds that it would not usually have access to.
Bryn Mawr College Endowment has a relatively small investment team that benefits from the assistance and
extensive knowledge of an experienced fund of funds manager. It has previously invested with Comonfund Capital, a
fund of funds manager that was able to offer diversification by geography, strategy and fund manager style. In Q4
2007, it was expected that Bryn Mawr College Endowment would continue to invest in fund of funds in order to John Griffith
achieve its target allocation to private equity and expand its investment portfolio.

In April 2006, BVV set aside EUR 170 million for an initial investment in private equity and in March 2007, made two Assets Mgd (mn):
private equity fund of funds commitments through two different fund of funds managers. BVV is attracted to fund of
funds because this investment route improves the diversification in its investment portfolio and is less labour
intensive compared to investing directly into a private equity fund. In 2008, BVV is expected to continue investing in
private equity through fund of funds as it is still relatively inexperienced in the asset class, and yet to reach its target
