14 <strong>BVCA</strong> <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Venture</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> Performance Measurement Survey 2011<br />
Returns by investment stage – IRR <strong>and</strong> multiple<br />
Continued<br />
Fund multiples since inception<br />
The multiples show the total amount distributed<br />
to investors as a percentage of paid-in capital<br />
(DPI), <strong>and</strong> the total amount distributed plus the<br />
residual value attributable to investors as a<br />
percentage of paid-in capital (TVPI). A DPI of<br />
93% as at December 2011, indicates that <strong>BVCA</strong><br />
member funds (which are at least four years<br />
old) are very near to returning all of the initial<br />
capital committed for investments <strong>and</strong> fees back<br />
to their fund-investors. There is a considerable<br />
amount of residual value present within these<br />
portfolios, which will be liquidated <strong>and</strong> realised<br />
in due course. Taking account of this residual<br />
value, the total value (or TVPI multiple) yielded<br />
by these funds is 149% of the capital committed<br />
by fund-investors.<br />
Pre-1996 vintage funds<br />
Given that the majority of these funds are now<br />
fully liquidated <strong>and</strong> have been for some time,<br />
the difference between the DPI <strong>and</strong> TVPI is<br />
infinitesimal. The return of 197% indicates that<br />
for every one GBP invested in private equity <strong>and</strong><br />
venture capital, investors received nearly twice<br />
as much in return. Generalist funds delivered<br />
the greatest DPI <strong>and</strong> TVPI followed by Large<br />
MBOs, then Mid-MBO, Development capital<br />
<strong>and</strong> finally Early Stage funds.<br />
1996 vintage funds onwards<br />
This subset of funds contains both relatively<br />
mature funds with minimal residual values, <strong>and</strong><br />
younger funds for whom significant unrealised<br />
value is contained in their portfolios. As such,<br />
there is a large difference between the reported<br />
DPI <strong>and</strong> TVPI. On the narrower measure of DPI,<br />
we observe that Small <strong>and</strong>, especially, Mid<br />
-MBOs are the dominant outperformers, with<br />
both generating a near 100% DPI multiple,<br />
while the much wider TVPI measure indicates<br />
all three buyout stages, across small, mid <strong>and</strong><br />
large, generated multiples of at least 146%.<br />
In aggregate, post-1996 vintage funds delivered,<br />
on a since-inception basis to December 2011,<br />
a TVPI multiple of 146%.<br />
