Appendix VI – Worked examples<br />

Sample carried interest calculation to<br />

produce an interim IRR (as of 31 Dec 2009)<br />

Fund size – £20 million<br />

Draw down – £17 million (85%)<br />

Distributed – £12.25 million<br />

Residual net asset value (NAV) at 31 December<br />

2009 (before carried interest) – £12 million.<br />

Distribution Priority<br />

i) 100% to investors until commitments<br />

returned;<br />

ii) 100% to investors until a ‘preferred return’<br />

of 10% pa compound is achieved;<br />

iii) 100% to manager until payments<br />

equal 25% of ii);<br />

iv) 80% to investors, 20% to manager thereafter.<br />

An interim IRR is a ‘snapshot’ of performance to<br />

date. In calculating an interim IRR, the assumption<br />

used is that the fund is wound up at the NAV date<br />

(i.e. 31 December 2009) <strong>and</strong> that the residual<br />

value is distributed accordingto the above.<br />

As the fund is not fully drawn down, one of two<br />

assumptions can be made, each of which has<br />

the same effect on the IRR calculation:<br />

i) The £3 million not yet drawn down is<br />

cancelled <strong>and</strong> commitments correspondingly<br />

drop to £17 million; or<br />

ii) The £3 million is drawn down on<br />

31 December 2009 <strong>and</strong> distributed<br />

simultaneously.<br />

The example given on the right produces an<br />

interim IRR before carried interest of 12.9% <strong>and</strong><br />

10.7% pa after carried interest. The latter figure<br />

is the one used in the <strong>BVCA</strong> Performance<br />

Measurement Survey.<br />
