Historical Total Return Performance to 31st May 2017**

**PIP was launched on 18th September 1987. The performance figures for PIP assume reinvestment of dividends, capital repayments and cash flow from warrants.

Commenting on the results, Andrew Lebus, Partner at Pantheon Ventures (UK) LLP, said: "PIP's strong investment returns over the period reflect our conviction that we are backing the best private equity managers globally who are able to identify companies where there are opportunities to drive growth through operational improvements as well as those managers who can invest in attractive assets in less favoured market segments. In addition, the active M&A markets have resulted in increased cash flow to the Company from portfolio company exits. Our strong cash position means that we are well-placed to redeploy capital into the compelling new opportunities that are in our deal pipeline, and to continue our focus on generating attractive returns for the benefit of shareholders."
