PRESS RELEASE<\/p>\n

NEW YORK, May 20, 2013\u2014Pantheon, a leading global private equity fund investor, today announced that it will partner with non-profit Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) in an initiative designed to both further advance minority hiring at the firm and increase the pool of minority candidates interested in careers in the private equity industry.
\nPantheon has made a multi-year financial pledge as well as a commitment to offer summer internships in its New York office to SEO program participants. In addition, through active participation in SEO events, including educational workshops, Pantheon will seek to help encourage more minority college undergraduates to become interested in careers in private equity.
\nSEO continues to expand its footprint in the alternatives sector through diversity initiatives at the undergraduate, full-time analyst and experienced professional level. This joint initiative provides undergraduates with career access to unique paid summer analyst positions in private equity, enabling them to gain invaluable skills and experience.
\nPartnering with SEO advances an existing commitment at Pantheon to diversity. Currently, 15% of Pantheon\u2019s U.S.-based employees, including a quarter of the New York office, are from underrepresented minority groups, a significant increase from 6% three years ago. In addition, a third of Pantheon\u2019s U.S. senior staff (VP and above) are female, up from a quarter five years ago.
\nSaid Yokasta Segura-Baez, Principal of U.S. Client Services and Business Development at Pantheon: \u201cIn partnering with SEO, we hope to not only increase our own minority hiring of qualified candidates but also reach a far broader audience of college undergraduates so that they can get excited about careers in private equity even well before they begin to make career decisions in college. We believe that if we can get to these students sooner in their academic careers we can increase minority representation in
\nMartina Marshall-Edwards, Director of Alumni & Alternative Investments Programs at SEO said: \u201cWe are delighted to partner with Pantheon on our Alternative Investments Program. This partnership directly addresses the questions, \u201cHow do we develop the pipeline of talent? How do we educate talent at the undergraduate level?\u201d By providing underrepresented young professionals access to internship positions, Pantheon is tapping into the next generation of high-achieving talent earlier than many of itscounterparts. This recruitment approach is very unique for the private equity industry, and we\u2019re really excited about it.”
