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 />
