<strong>BVCA</strong> <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Venture</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> Performance Measurement Survey 2011 37<br />
Appendix III – Principal comparators <strong>and</strong> asset class overview<br />
UK private equity returns are compared in this report with the FTSE 100, the FTSE All-Share Index, other indices,<br />
<strong>and</strong> data supplied by WM on returns from UK pension funds in aggregate.<br />
Care should be taken in comparing the statistics<br />
on UK pension funds with private equity returns<br />
– they are provided for indicative purposes only.<br />
The performance of private equity funds is<br />
measured by the internal rate of return (IRR)<br />
to investors, net of costs <strong>and</strong> fees. Returns from<br />
the WM Pension Fund Universe <strong>and</strong> from<br />
indices, however, are gross time-weighted<br />
returns (TWR).<br />
Pension fund performance<br />
The WM All-Funds is the largest available<br />
universe of UK pension funds. It represents<br />
around two-thirds of the UK defined benefit<br />
funds by value.<br />
