*NB Private Equity Partners Announces Monthly NAV Update for December 2018 *
15 January 2019
NB Private Equity Partners Limited (“NBPE” or the “Company”), a closed-end private equity investment company, today announced an updated Net Asset Value (“NAV”) for the month ended 31 December 2018.
*Key Highlights*

Total return NAV development per Share^1
(1.1%)
4.3%
NAV development per Share (1.1%) 1.2%
· 31 December 2018 NAV per Share of $17.66 (£13.87) decreased $0.20 (£0.13) from $17.86 (£14.00) NAV per Share at 30 November 2018
· NBPE’s NAV decrease of $9.6 million during the month of December included:
· $7.6 million of other unrealised losses, or $0.16 per share, attributable to losses from public securities, realisation adjustments and mark-to-market adjustments
· $2.6 million decrease in NAV attributable to value changes to other assets and liabilities during the month
· $1.2 million of accrued cash and PIK interest from the income investment portfolio, or $0.02 per share
· $0.6 million of unrealised losses attributable to the receipt of new valuation information, or $0.01 per share
*Portfolio Valuation*
The value of NBPE’s private equity portfolio as of 31 December 2018 was based on the following information^2:
· 20% of the private equity fair value was valued as of 31 December 2018
· 14% in private direct investments
· 6% in public securities
· 2% of the private equity fair value was valued as of 31 October 2018
· 1% in private direct investments
· 1% in fund investments
· 78% of the private equity fair value was valued as of 30 September 2018
· 74% in private direct investments
· 4% in fund investments
*Portfolio Commentary*
During December, NBPE funded $21.2 million to two new direct equity investments in Hivory, a European telecommunications company, and Plaskolite, a manufacturer of acrylic sheet products. NBPE also funded an additional investment of $8.1 million to an existing portfolio of Italian middle-market companies.
The largest realisation was a result of a secondary sale of legacy fund interests. NBPE sold 14 legacy fund interests and in total will receive proceeds of $19.4 million from the sale. At closing, NBPE received approximately $9.4 million and recorded a receivable at 31 December 2018 for a fund interest which closed in January and for the portion of the proceeds which are subject to a 12 month deferral. Income investments distributed $2.6 million during the month, consisting of interest receipts and principal repayments. NBPE also received $1.6 million from direct equity investments consisting primarily of dividends and other returns of capital received from Telxius and QPark.
The most significant valuation change during December was the result of public valuation declines; NBPE recorded an unrealised loss of $7.4 million in the value of its direct equity investments. Private company valuations have not yet been updated to December, but there was an announcement of a pending realisation, with Veritas Capital announcing the sale of Standard Aero which is expected to close in the first half of 2019.

Dato’ Joey Yap Illuminates on Forecasts for the Year of the Earth Boar
An overwhelming turn up of 5,000 participants at Joey Yap’s annual Feng Shui & Astrology seminar held at Resorts World Sentosa
· 5,000 participants attended Dato' Joey Yap's annual Feng Shui & Astrology seminar held at Resorts World Sentosa on 13 ^thJanuary 2019
· Dato' Joey Yap shared about the forecasts for the Year of the Earth Boar and shed light on the global economic landscape of 2019.
· Dato' Joey Yap highlighted on the auspicious dates to start work in 2019 -- 8 ^th, 11 ^thand 12 ^thFeb
· For the first time ever, Joey Yap collaborated with EZ-Link to release a series of limited-edition EZ-Link cards, available for purchase at the seminar
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 15 January 2019 -* *On 13 January 2019, global best-selling author and world-famous Feng Shui expert Dato' Joey Yap successfully held his highly-anticipated annual Feng Shui & Astrology seminar at Resorts World Sentosa. As the world's largest Feng Shui organisation boasting 15,000 sell-outs over 2 days in Kuala Lumpur alone, it comes as no surprise that 5,000 participants turned up for the signature event held at Resorts World Sentosa. Over the next two months, the popular seminar will continue its run around the world in The Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, Cambodia and Slovenia.
A voice of authority on all things related to Chinese metaphysics, Dato' Joey shared insightful forecasts for the New Year during the seminar. He provided a clear overview of obstacles and opportunities that will follow in the coming months.
As the full-day seminar progressed, Dato' Joey identified several key components of The Year of the Earth Boar and shed light on the world's economic outlook for 2019. He also highlighted industries that will thrive and the ones that will most likely turn out unfavourable. Depending on the type of industry and its chances to succeed in The Year of the Earth Boar, Dato' Joey stressed that different forms of impact would be introduced to important life aspects such as personal health, wealth, career, and relationships. He also highlighted the auspicious dates of 2019 and how one can use these dates strategically.
According to him, the Year of the Earth Pig can be summarised into two words: Stable Progression. On a grand political and economic scale, sluggish development will likely be the theme for the first half of the year. However, things are anticipated to pick up towards the latter half of the year, as investments in time and resources during the previous period start to showcase more tangible results.
Given that the vibrancy of the year favours the fire and water elements, industries that will do well include online retailing due to the mixture of fire element (tech/online) and water element (retail). Industries that emphasises on high mobility including the water, hospitality, tourism and fast moving consumer goods sectors are forecasted to face growing potential while the property market will face stagnation. Prices are forecasted to remain sticky while loans from financial institutions are scarce, impacting purchase of properties negatively. In addition, he also advise tech companies to work on securing their customer base in light of the tighter controls and governance being introduced to the industry.
With all these in mind, he advised participants to always fall back on their individual BaZi charts so as to discern all obstructions in the next twelve months. The BaZi chart provides one with a window to look into the synchronicity of the external energy and what one can offer. For example, the Year of the Earth Boar is a vibrant year and the market favours the new and risky. If one's BaZi chart comprises the water element, one will be able to handle the new, bold and risky. However, those that has little or no water at all will experience a feeling of lost or discomfort which can be managed by an increase in awareness and willingness to accept change. Get your individual BaZi charts here: http://joeyyap.com/bzchart
Participants were all ears when Dato' Joey highlighted the key auspicious dates of this year, including 8^th Feb, 11^th Feb and 12^th Feb -- all of which are good dates to recommence work and business.
As we enter into the muddy Year of the Boar filled with uncertainty, those that can provide clarity (fire) will be able to shine and leap ahead. Think along the line of a technology or framework that can help consumers verify a provider via their online footprints to increase the trust index! Lucky for those born in the Year of the Monkey, Horse, Tiger and Rabbit, this year is forecasted to be a splendid year for you!
Dato' Joey then touched on the Feng Shui sectors to thrive upon and the ones to avoid in the coming Lunar Year. He also detailed the Flying Stars afflictions for The Year of the Earth Boar and explained how to use Qi Men Dun Jia as a tool for placing people in the right place and time.
This year, a series of Dato' Joey Yap's limited-edition Mythical Twelve Chinese Zodiac EZ-Link cards was made available for purchase to the public during the seminar. The first of its kind, the series of EZ-Link cards is a unique collaboration between Dato' Joey Yap and EZ-Link. Personally designed by the renowned expert in Chinese Metaphysics, the series of cards bear the design of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs and his 2019 Chinese zodiac predictions!
As the seminar concluded, participants took the opportunity to meet with Dato' Joey in a book-signing session. The seminar ended on a high note as participants gained the necessary knowledge to embrace The Year of the Earth Boar and make the most out of the new year.
