6-month report
28.08.2008
Pfaeffikon SZ, 28 August 2008 --- As per 30 June 2008, the unaudited 
NAV per share and share price of shaPE reached CHF 265.71 and CHF 
257.00 respectively, both down in parallel by 6.2% year to date. The 
decrease is predominantly currency related with the main investee 
currencies USD and EUR loosing 10.0% and 2.8% respectively against 
the Swiss Franc during the reporting period. Currency effects aside, 
the underlying portfolio developed stable with the fair value of 
unlisted investments decreasing only slightly by -0.6%. Despite the 
harsh environment prevailing on the financial markets shaPE has been 
able to offer liquidity close to NAV at an average discount of -2.1% 
through the first half year.
shaPE remains confident with regard to the further development of the
portfolio and has been able to maintain an active investment pace 
during the first half year. During the first six months, shaPE has 
executed seven new primary commitments at an aggregate volume of CHF 
59.5 million. As per 30 June 2008, shaPE held 68 LP interests managed
by 37 private equity firms, compared to 64 LP interests and 40 
managers per end of 2007. The reduction in GP-relationships occurs in
line with the intention to focus on key relationships where shaPE 
sees the potential for re-ups.
While we expect the next few quarters to be difficult for the private
equity markets in general, we also expect that our differentiated 
investment strategy of overweighting the small- and mid sized buyout 
segment as opposed to the large buyout segment will continue to pay 
off. We furthermore contentedly note that shaPE has many yet unfunded
commitments with managers whom we expect to be especially well 
positioned to profit from further disruptions in the market place.
