8000 Incorporated (EIGH)

[NMC]

Specifically, I think EIGH may be taking advantage of Bancorp New Zealand in this area...

Private Equity
Given its strengths in corporate finance, debt arranging and treasury management Bancorp has some of the key skills needed to make successful private equity investments.

We tend to focus on medium size investments where we match high net worth individual's and private banking client's, private equity funds and other equity sources to existing businesses.

We believe in optimising a private equity investment to a client's needs.

Bancorp itself typically co-invests with clients in our many private equity opportunities.

Most of Bancorp's private equity transaction deal flow is proprietary and comes from the corporate finance or other Bancorp associations. This enables us to have a constant flow of transactions to review and then, where suitable, provide opportunities for our clients to invest.
