18 Lessons Learned Selection of the fund manager (intermediate) is key for a successful implementation and execution of JEREMIE: Fit-in of JEREMIE into regular activity of the Intermediate Avoid conflict of interest between regular activity and JEREMIE ( commission scheme!) Close coordination and transparency between Holding Fund and Intermediates Implementation of leverage mechanism: Positioning: No competition with financial institutions (=> differentiation and complementarity: subordinated debt) Enforce Co-investment by limiting level of financing (max. 70%) Trade-off: Specific funds/mono-instrument versus macro funds/ multiinstrumental Adapt risk levels to market s necessities. (Who bears the risk? Guaranty requirement?) 18
