WHY EMPEA?
EMPEA is an industry association established by
leading practitioners to address a range of
issues critically important to strengthening PE
performance in emerging markets
What is EMPEA? A global membership organization
serving PE and VC firms, LPs and service
providers in the emerging markets of Asia,
Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America and the
Middle East EMPEAs Mission To serve its members
with services and programs that strengthen PE
performance and attract additional capital flows
to emerging markets EMPEAs Services and
Programs Address a range of high priority issues
for EMPEA members and the PE industry at large,
such as strengthening financial reporting and

WHY INDUSTRY LEADERS CREATED EMPEA
Thoughtful cooperation, regular interaction and
coordinated actions among key stakeholders
involved in emerging markets PE will strengthen
the asset class
  • A primary explanation for PE underperformance in
    emerging markets is that the industry is
    fragmented and unorganized
  • Like other industries, PE investors encounter
    common challenges that can effectively be
    overcome by collaborative action
  • International best practices can serve as a
    powerful learning tool if adapted to local
    conditions
  • A critical mass of PE investors and other
    stakeholders have the motivation and self
    interest to benefit from collective action on key
    issues effecting performance
  • The industry has reached a stage of development
    where a clear need exists for more effective
    networking and information exchange between GPs
    and LPs
