investment
and exit decisions. The investment committee will advise the fund
management
on investment and exit proposals. This advice is binding for the
fund
management. The investment committee will have three to five members
and
will advise unanimously. Two members will be the initiators of the
fund, Mr. W.J.M. van den Dijssel and Mr. Sj. Dijkstra. Other members
can be investors in the fund or third parties from the investment
industry.
