   NB Private Equity Partners Announces Responsible and Sustainable 
Investment Policy 
 
   28 August 2020 
 
   NB Private Equity Partners Limited ("NBPE" or the "Company"), a 
closed-end private equity investment company, today announced the 
publication of a formal responsible and sustainable investment policy. 
The board of directors is committed to a high standard of corporate 
governance and believes responsible investing is an important 
cornerstone of this as well as being integral to achieving strong long 
term  investment returns. By leveraging the Investment Manager's 
leadership in ESG investing, which is integrated into its private equity 
operations and was awarded an A+ Top Score in the most recent 
UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) assessment, the 
Board believes NBPE is well-positioned and committed to responsible 
investment. 
 
   This formalised responsible and sustainable investment policy is 
centered on the objective of delivering better investment outcomes 
through incorporating ESG considerations into investment decisions. The 
Investment Manager has also conducted a sustainability potential 
assessment of NBPE's existing portfolio. This assessment determined that 
99% of the direct investment portfolio does not have significant adverse 
sustainability potential and 26% of the portfolio (based on 31 July 2020 
fair value) is deemed to have an overall positive sustainability 
potential or have an overall positive benefit to people or the 
environment. 
 
   The Board believes the responsible and sustainable investment policy is 
a continuation of NBPE's commitment to high standards of corporate 
governance and investment practices and that this will be a long term 
value add to NBPE and its investors.
