6 <strong>BVCA</strong> <strong>Private</strong> <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Venture</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> Performance Measurement Survey 2011<br />

Highlights<br />

Continued<br />

As of December 2011, the best performing fund<br />

vintages on the since-inception measure were<br />

1994, 2004, <strong>and</strong> 2002, generating pooled average<br />

IRRs of 34.3%, 26.4% <strong>and</strong> 26.1% per annum,<br />

respectively. This provides further evidence<br />

that committing to the private equity asset class<br />

during periods of macro-economic weakness<br />

can deliver good returns to investors. This is<br />

explored in detail in our Range of returns<br />

analysis later on in the report.<br />
