Welcome
This report summarises the events and achievements of Actis in the last twelve months. Whether we are sharing the story of the Rwandan bank in which we invested nearly a decade ago, or the ATM chain rolling out across India, the tale we tell is of strong businesses, in attractive sectors, in some of the most populous and dynamic parts of the world. Our goal is to give you a sense of the breadth of our work, and the depth of our expertise. Providing insight into the energy and promise of those high growth markets which have already begun to define this century. I hope you enjoy reading this years annual review.

corporate governance, health and safety, labour law, and environmental and social practices. They must also be highly profitable. Our investment professionals have this in mind from the first dollar and day of the investment. Everything they do is focused on creating value. Their work is supplemented by a dedicated team of in-house consultants who do nothing but implement best practices, and share what they know works from their past experiences in the same sectors. We think of the stewardship of Xiabu Xiabu, the immensely popular Chinese hot pot chain, which grew from 60 outlets at the point of our US$52m investment in 2008, to over 300 in four short years. The strategy was replicable success, the introduction of a central kitchen and higher standards of food safety and staff training, resulting in a business that was snapped up when we sold it in December 2012. Or XP, the largest independent securities brokerage firm in Latin America with US$3.5bn assets under custody as at October 2012, and a growth rate of 150% since Actis invested US$58m in 2010. With Actiss backing XP has more than doubled in value, diversified into new product lines, and made five acquisitions; client numbers have increased twofold to 70,000 active customers. Actis partially exited XP at the end of last year, returning money to investors while remaining an active partner in the business. When we invest in a business, we see it afresh, aided by assessments made during a thorough due-diligence process. We often adopt a view from a new angle. In the case of Vlisco Group, our fashion fabrics company, we could see when we invested US$151m in 2010 that its distinctive product, tradition with a twist, would appeal to the growing community of sophisticated African consumers. Nostalgic for the vivid and distinctive patterns worn by their mothers and grandmothers, customers liked the contemporary designs coming out of the Dutch design headquarters. By stretching the product range to include seasonal designs, bespoke handbags, luxury silk scarves and accessories, the Vlisco Group brand has evolved. Its development has enchanted the media, as part of a story of urban growth, and the emergence of a
self-confident Africa. This is precisely the sort of opportunity that Actis is able to identify, and to develop, by building a market strategically, rather than simply serving what is already there. In other instances value creation comes from efficiency. Actis owns a network of higher education colleges in China. Rising student numbers were growing revenues, but that was not necessarily translating to the bottom line. In Chinese culture, where education is culturally the most important investment, and state provision cannot keep pace, secondary and college education is a high growth sector. But high growth companies in high growth sectors do not always translate into high profit, or high returns, without smart management. We found that by sharing teaching materials, lectures and expertise between the colleges, introducing a single management board, group Chief Executive, and applying a common set of standards across all the colleges, China PostSecondary Education (PSE) was able to expand its student numbers to 52,000 and in parallel lower its fixed costs. Meanwhile, the expertise acquired from our management at PSE has equipped us to do other deals in the Chinese education space. Elsewhere in Brazil, our backing of Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional in 2012 led to a subsequent investment in English language training provider, CNA.
rotten network with failing conductors and wooden poles weakened by an unremitting invasion of termites, vegetation and humidity. The disruption of education during the turbulent years of 1980-1990 meant that many adults didnt understand the dangers of touching fallen conductors. The customer database was full of ghost consumers: billing was sporadic and often inaccurate. The investment manager, in partnership with Actiss Responsible Investment team, set about a root-and-branch review of the Environmental Social and Govemance (ESG) systems. The IPO symbolises the progress they made. These examples demonstrate an engrained habit: take what is there, review it, refine it, invest in it, strengthen it, demand more from it, and consider every aspect of its operations. Seek to do what is creative; a new product line, an updated strategy, while keeping an eye focused on cost, and returns. Engage fully in managing the company, call on in-house consultants, listen attentively, and act decisively. And so, everything connects. Well run energetic companies pump high-quality products into a market place, bringing with them employment, innovation, and a higher quality of life. Their value is accretive. One successful company is more likely to spawn another. Standards rise inexorably, and the value that has been steadily created transfers from owner to employees, from founder to investor, from suppliers to customers, and back again. This is what Actis will continue to do. It is what we have always done.
Take what is there, review it, refine it, invest in it, strengthen it, demand more from it.
No discussion of value creation is complete without reference to responsible investment. It is, rightly, impossible to IPO a company without absolute adherence to world-class environmental and social responsibility standards. This is what we did with the Ugandan electricity distribution company, Umeme, which listed on the Ugandan and Kenyan stock exchanges in 2012. When Actis invested in 2005, Umemes physical assets were in a sad state of disarray: years of underinvestment had created a
