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 />
