KENSINGTON PRIVATE EQUITY FUND ANNOUNCES NEW DISTRIBUTION

TORONTO, Dec. 7, 2023 /CNW/ - Kensington Capital Advisors Inc. is pleased to announce a distribution to Unitholders of the Kensington Private Equity Fund of $1.70 per Unit, which brings the total distributions in 2023 to approximately 10% of the Fund's Net Asset Value. The distribution will be paid on December 14, 2023, to Unitholders of record on December 12, 2023.

"We think that realized value in this market is an important measure of fund performance. The exit processes of Ace Hill Beverage Group, Clearpath Robotics, and Champion Petfoods were all focused on strategic buyers, who demonstrated strong interest in the acquisition of excellent brands and companies. The ability to access those strategic buyers contributes to the Fund's success. These realizations demonstrate the sustainability and resilience of our portfolio. As we navigate the uncertainties ahead, we are confident in our ability to continue to create enduring value for our Unitholders", commented Tom Kennedy, the Chairman of Kensington.
