Why is it so important that the fund invests alongside private sector investors?

European "State Aid" rules prevent Government funds from being used to give businesses in one member state any financial assistance which gives them a commercial advantage over similar businesses in other member states. Any funding provided must therefore be at fully commercial rates. Because of this the Fund must prove it is investing at fully commercial rates but because there are very few commercial investors operating at this low level there is no established market rate.

By insisting that in every case at least half of the funding is provided by an independent private sector investor AT THE SAME PRICE, the Fund can prove that it is investing at a price set by the commercial market. This is why finding a matching private sector investor is such a fundamental part of the way the Fund operates.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
