TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY
Creating a world-class sovereign wealth fund to support Libya's future
1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
LIA faced significant challenges in repairing damage done by a long history of interference and corruption under the previous regime
LIA has taken critical steps to transform itself into a world-class sovereign wealth fund – New strategy approved by the Boards in July 2013
LIA will create three new funds for all future investments, with clearly defined mandates, governance and rules for inflows and outflows
– Multi-year transformation program initiated in October 2013
– Future Generations Fund (for long-term savings invested internationally)
– Revised Law 13 will require approval, to reflect improvements in governance, investment approach and organisation
– Budget Stabilisation Fund (for cushioning budget shortfalls)
– Complied with Isolation Law, limited board appointments to two per person and intends to comply fully with the Santiago Principles over time
– Local Investment & Development Fund (for stimulating major private sector projects in Libya)
LIA’s historic illiquid assets will be transferred to two non-permanent portfolios over the next 3- 5 years: – Holdings Portfolio (for performing assets) – Legacy Portfolio (for non-performing, dormant or non-strategic assets)

Libyan Investment Authority
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
LIA will no longer invest internationally on its own, but will appoint best-in-class fund managers to manage funds and investment consultants to advise on asset allocation • Funding for the new funds should come from existing LIA assets, Central Bank’s excess foreign reserves, government budget surpluses and directly from oil revenues • LIA UK in London will be expanded to provide support in three areas: (1) place the investment analysis team close to the market; (2) provide legal, audit and risk support on international investments and subsidiaries; (3) provide training for Libyan staff • LIA’s organisational structure has been revised, and a hiring plan for a CEO and other senior staff is in progress

• Oliver Wyman was engaged to support and accelerate the transformation program through a number of major taskforces (13 taskforces activated as of Q1 2014) • Deloitte was engaged to value LIA’s portfolio as of end 2012; and provided write-downs of the expected value of LIA’s subsidiaries and illiquid holdings • A number of investigations have been launched into fraudulent transactions and legal action is being taken to recover some losses • LIA has launched a broader communications program to demonstrate to local and international communities that LIA is a reliable and transparent manager of the Libyan people’s money • LlA has developed its online communications by updating the website, launching a LIA Twitter account - @LIAchairman - and re-launching a public Facebook page
THE LIA’S MISSION
The Libyan Investment Authority aims to be a world-class sovereign wealth fund in terms of performance, transparency, ethics and accountability. We will play an active role over many years in improving the resilience of the Libyan economy and enhancing the well-being of the Libyan people
The Libyan Investment Authority will: • Create an alternative, diversified source of wealth for Libya’s future generations other than proceeds from oil reserves and by investing internationally with a sustainable, long-term view. • Stimulate Libya’s economy through major, transformational private sector projects, engaging international expertise through joint ventures and knowledge transfer. • Provide stability against volatile oil revenues and government budget shortfalls.

LIA ASSETS: THE PLAN LIA will organise its assets into three new permanent funds and certain historic assets into two non-permanent portfolios, each with a clear purpose Future Generations Fund (FGF)
Libyan Local Investment & Development Fund

Holdings Portfolio
• Savings for the future, after oil runs out • Investing internationally with a long-term view • Inflows a fixed percentage of oil revenues; outflows highly restricted • Domestic investment for socio-economic development • Stimulating private-sector projects in non-oil industries • Gateway for foreign expert partnership and investment • Protection against oil revenue volatility • Replenished when there is surplus, available to cushion shortfalls • Cash and fixed income fund with tranches of different liquidities • Private equity portfolio for current ‘performing’ direct investments • Assets sold over time or transferred to FGF PE allocation • Prevents distortion of FGF asset allocation and preserves quality

Portfolio Performance Review
Portfolio Performance Review
Best practice Sovereign Wealth Funds assess performance, aligned to their Strategic Asset Allocation, at manager and fund level Guiding principles
Risk & investment goals in line with Strategy
Legal & regulatory requirements
Performance measurement framework
Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA)
• Defines the target allocation and relevant benchmarks or absolute targets (to be determined) • SAA for each of the 3 permanent funds
Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA)
• Shorter term investment plan, incl. tactical adjustments, to meet SAA
Manager/ Asset Selection
• Allocations, benchmarks/ target at manager or investment level in line with the SAA and adjusted based on TAA
Defining target returns and risk profiles for distinct funds based on SAA increases proficiency of performance evaluation 16
