Restriction screening Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration Thematic exposure Impact investing

Definition Managing exposures by avoiding investments in

  • bjectionable activities, sectors
  • r geographies

Proactively considering ESG criteria alongside financial analysis to identify opportunities and risks Focusing on themes and sectors dedicated to solving sustainability-related domestic and global challenges Allocating assets to funds focused on private enterprises structured to deliver specific positive social and/or environmental impact Impact Investment Characteristics

  • Restriction criteria and

degree of shareholder activism

  • Not proactively seeking

environmental and social impact

  • ESG integration process and

degree of shareholder advocacy

  • May include some screening
  • Macro analysis, sustainability

research and sector focus

  • Impact approach, regional

focus, liquidity and impact reporting and emphasis on issues where public markets solutions may not exist Investment Examples Unit trust/ETF that excludes companies from buy universe (e.g. tobacco, firearms, coal mining companies) Segregated mandate which requires incorporating analysis of ESG performance into stock selection process ETFs tracking an index of water utilities, existing renewable energy projects, or infrastructure investment. A PE or VC fund focused on the interaction of technology and healthcare provision, biosciences and renewable energy projects Public markets (traditional asset classes) Public markets (traditional asset classes) Public markets (traditional asset classes) Private markets (pe or vc funds) *Source: Morgan Stanley Global Investment Manager Analysis, February 2019

Global Sustainable Development Goals – United Nations, 2015

  • Rising global inequality has increased the need for affordable access to healthcare, education, inclusive

finance and housing.

  • Climate change has been identified as the major threat facing humanity driving the need for renewable and

alternative energy sources, energy efficiency and sustainable agriculture and forestry.

  • Technological advancements are making the unachievable, achievable, providing solutions at an exponential

pace and low cost. Investor Demand

  • Millennials and high net worth individual investors are seeking to create a positive legacy by investing

their assets in a way which marries social and financial objectives.

  • Regulators are looking to institutional investors and retirement funds to deploy

capital in a socially and environmentally impactful manner. Responsibility and Opportunity

  • Asset managers, as custodians of capital, have a responsibility to broaden

their investment objectives beyond financial goals. This includes all asset classes.

  • Investment opportunities are plentiful and likely to deliver exceptional returns
  • ver the longer term.
  • Direct impact investments are not accessible via traditional asset classes.

Why impact investing?

Why the University of Oxford?

Times Higher Education ranks Oxford as one of the world's "six superbrands" on its World Reputation Rankings, alongside Berkeley, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT and Stanford.

  • Number 1 research university in the world, with 29 science faculties and 12 700 researchers and

academics*

  • Medical Science Division rated number 1 in the world for Clinical,

Pre-Clinical and Health subjects for the past 8 years*

  • £700m per annum R&D income **
  • Luminaries:
  • 28 prime ministers
  • 33 Nobel laureates
  • Most innovations originate at world’s leading universities but…

…UK universities lag far behind US peers in turning those into commercial

  • pportunities (US market is overcrowded)
  • OU entered into a unique JV with leading asset managers in 2015 to turn

IP into commercial spin-outs through Oxford Sciences Innovation Plc

Oxford Sciences Innovation Plc

Platform company enabling commercialisation of research ideas

  • riginating from the University of Oxford – effectively OSI owns 25% of all

past and present IP of the university

Launched: June 2015 (£600m in permanent capital raised from external investors) Commercials: Oxford University and OSI share equally in all qualifying spin-outs from Oxford University – deal term up to 45 years Practical application:

  • OSI’s Investment Principals work with academics to turn a patent into a

spin-out company, build up the management team and develop the product through to revenue generation.

  • OSI receives founding shares in spin-out companies from the OU

(founding shares are split 25% OSI, 25% OU, 50% relevant academic staff).

  • OSI supports spin-outs from start-up through to maturity – can opt to retain a

significant equity stake (seed £100k to £10m, 20% to 40% stake when leading).

Multi-tier screening process

Oxford university research and development process

  • All ideas and patents originate from academic research at OU (12 000

researchers supported by £580m per annum R&D budget)

  • Tech transfer office (OUI) – assist the academics with licensing and spin-
  • ut formation through OSI

OSI plc investment process

  • Investment team of 23 staff, with 5 investment principals dedicated to

further research and screening each investment opportunity for commercial viability and scientific merit

  • Internal investment committee decides which opportunities are

commercialized

  • All larger investments require the approval of the Board of Directors

Research by validating capital

  • BC II LP invests alongside well-known asset managers and VC investors

(demand for OSI and spin-out shares exceeds supply).

  • BC II LP does not seed spin-outs – invests in Series B, C and onwards to

de-risk ideas and minimise failure rate - quality of the validating capital is key to each decision.

BRAAVOS INVESTMENT TEAM (Ongoing Process)

Each investment opportunity is screened from a commercial viability perspective:

  • Financial analysis
  • Competitor analysis
  • Future funding requirements
  • Strength of management team
  • Roadmap towards value realization

SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL (3 months evaluation process)

Each investment requires a different skill set (flexible advisory panel model) Professor Ed Peile selects a panel of academics uniquely suited to each investment opportunity:

  • 1st review: workforce adoption tested in the field
  • 2nd review: scientific panel assess the merit of the science
  • Recommendation and research is presented to Braavos investment team

OSI Valuation Model – conservative assumptions

The model is very conservative as it does not take into account:

  • Valuation of companies in which OSI holds founder shares only
  • No forecast super-normal sale proceeds of portfolio companies (e.g. royalties from Covid -19

vaccine)

  • No asymmetric returns (e.g. Evox)

Key assumptions in the model are:

  • Benchmark portfolio inputs across levels of OSI participation at each round, time between rounds,

failure rates, valuation uplifts and capital requirements, as well as the number of spin out companies per year

  • Future OSI equity raises are priced at NAV
  • Also includes an assumed monetisation time horizon of portfolio companies and resulting OSI

proceeds The model excludes the value of future issuance of founder shares where OSI does not invest capital The model compares against actual OSI portfolio performance to date

  • Number of companies receiving OSI investment
  • Semi-annual portfolio valuations since 2015
  • Near term (2020-H1 2021) expected capital raisings and valuation uplift expectations

Sygnia OSI Fund

Investment in OSI and select OSI spin-outs as identified by the Braavos team supported by an investment advisory board and scientific advisory panel Investment objectives

  • Maintain a high stake in OSI (40% plus)
  • Make 5 to 10 investments pa, including follow-on investments over 5 years
  • Active participation in developing the investee companies through engagement

with management, board membership and ongoing strategic input.

  • Targeted allocation: Series B, C and Growth.
  • Targeted investment size: £5-15m over the next 5 years targeting a multiple on

invested capital of 3x net (IRR of 13%). We believe there are 10 companies at different stages that have the potential to become Unicorns.

  • Deals will be structured where possible as liquidation prefs with down round

protection, recognising that there is a large amount of IP underpinning the spin-

  • ut companies valuation (which should reduce but not eliminate the chance of a

zero return on investment).

Coronary artery disease is the biggest killer globally, affecting 50% of men over 40. The most widely used diagnostic tool is echocardiography (ultrasound) with qualitative clinical interpretation. Evidence suggests that at least 20% of coronary artery disease scans are misdiagnosed – Ultromics EchoGo’s technology reduces that error rate by >50%. EchoGo extracts over 80 000 data points from an echocardiogram image and analyses it using machine learning. Ultromics has attracted a world-class team of clinicians, scientists, engineers and healthcare professionals to develop and deliver the technology to market.

Why invest in Sygnia OSI Fund now?

UK R&D and IP have not been exploited to the same extend as US’s

  • UK lags behind US in commercializing its IP – the opportunity set is greater and valuations lower

(esp. given Covid-19) Timing of investment couldn’t be better

  • We are near the bottom of investor confidence downcycle - attractive valuation levels
  • Healthcare and life sciences will become the primary focus of investors and governments going forward

(defensive play)

  • Access to grant funding is greater than ever before – non-dilutive capital
  • OSI benefits from £700m per annum R&D spent by Oxford University for free (unique deal and

exclusive access)

  • OSI has £390m of cash on balance sheet as at 31 Dec 2019 – will benefit from being an

investor of choice

  • Valuation of OSI has been extremely conservative (does not price in true value created since 2015)

Braavos Capital Funds are the largest investors in OSI

  • Board seat and our large position in OSI gives us preferential access to all OSI research on

spin-out companies, to spin-outs themselves and to deal flow when spin-outs raise capital – we are thus best placed to research the opportunity set

  • Holding in OSI gives us a significant stake in each spin out whether it raises capital going forward or not e.g. Evox
