Background on Ferguson Partners Ltd. Ferguson Partners Ltd. is a global executive recruiting consultancy specializing in real estate, asset and wealth management, hospitality and leisure, and healthcare. While we have demonstrated a competency in recruiting individuals from other industries, over the last twenty years we have found that our clients are ultimately more comfortable hiring individuals with relevant industry experience that have the background and qualifications they are seeking. Last year, we conducted approximately 200 assignments. Our geographical activity tends to be evenly distributed across the United States. We are selected by most clients because of our intimate industry sector expertise. Given this industry knowledge, we are better able to work with clients to identify their specific requirements and recruit an individual who will be successful over the longer term. FPL s competitive advantage in real estate is that we serve clients across various sectors of the real estate industry, including real estate owners and asset managers (REITs, investment managers, private equity funds, homebuilders, public and private developers, corporate real estate firms), financial services providers (commercial & residential mortgage lenders, CMBS firms, hedge funds, investment & commercial banks, insurance companies), and related operators and service providers (REOCs, commercial services & brokerage firms, engineering & construction firms). In our asset and wealth management practice, we advise global and specialty money managers, endowments/foundations/ pensions, private wealth managers, family offices, fund of funds, hedge funds, and private equity firms. Our hospitality and leisure practice covers lodging and gaming to restaurants and recreation related businesses. And in healthcare, our clients range from hospitals to senior housing firms. As these industry segments increasingly compete for common human resources talent, we are well equipped to access them on behalf of a client. And finally, each member of our recruitment team brings knowledge and contacts developed over years of experience working in various positions across the sectors we serve. Our extensive relationships have been built over more than two decades and enable us to access a candidate pool which is unmatched in quality, depth, and breadth of experience. 4
