We have now discussed two of the three primary metrics uses to evaluate the performance of private equity funds: (1) the multiples TVPI, DPI and RVPI; and (2) IRR.  We will now explore the third primary metric: Public Market Equivalent, or PME.
 
Overview
Broadly speaking, PME is a return metric that compares the return of a private equity fund (or a portfolio of funds) to the hypothetical return of a chosen public stock market index, such as the S&P 500 or Nasdaq, using the cash flows as the fund as a basis for investment in the stock market index.  For example, a fund may have an IRR of 15%, while the PME obtained using the S&P 500 as the index is 10%, suggesting that the fund has outperformed the S&P 500 by 500 basis points (bps).
 
There are several variations of PME, but these are commonly used:
  • LN PME, developed by Austin Long and Craig Nickels in 1996
  • PME+, developed by Capital Dynamics in 2003
  • KS PME, developed by Steve Kaplan and Antoinette Schoar in 2005
  • mPME, developed by Cambridge Associates and introduced in 2013
  • Direct Alpha, developed by Oleg Gredil, Barry Griffiths and Rüdiger Stucke in 2014
 
LN PME
The LN PME (also known as the Index Comparison Method or ICM) is widely considered the “first” PME approach (and it is often referred to simply as “PME”).  The LN PME matches each contribution and distribution of a fund with a hypothetical purchase and sale of a reference public market index, such as the S&P 500.  The residual value of the fund is not matched to the LN PME; rather, the LN PME residual value is based on the performance of the hypothetical invested capital in the index.  With these cash flows, an LN PME return for the public market index is compared directly against the IRR for the fund.  If the fund’s IRR exceeds the LN PME, then the fund has outperformed the public market index.  If the LN PME IRR exceeds the fund’s IRR, then the fund has underperformed the public market index.  Note that the IRR generated using LN PME isn’t a “real” IRR – it’s an estimation because of the manipulation of the residual value.
 
One nice thing about the LN PME is that it is conceptually straightforward.  However, the mechanics of LN PME have some issues.  One issue for the LN PME approach is that the residual value for the PME index can be negative.  This can occur if the fund has distributions early in the life of the fund, or has a series of large distributions late in the life of the fund.  The problem is that a fund can’t have a negative residual value (technically a fund could have a negative residual value, but it would be a very rare case).  As a result, LN PME isn’t used very often in private equity.  The other forms of PME attempt to address the drawbacks of the LN PME.
 
Let’s look at an example:
 
First consider the fund that we want to evaluate.  The fund is presented below:

In this post, we will explore internal rate of return (IRR) as a tool for evaluating fund performance metrics.
 
Recap
In my prior post, we discussed the basics of IRR in a fund context.  In this post, we build on that to explore what happens year by year for that fund.
 
In Example 1 in the last post, we introduced a fund, where the LP paid $30 million to the fund in a capital call at time = 0 and received $80 million back from the fund (as distributions) at the end of year 5.  These simple cash flows yielded an IRR of 22% and a TVPI of 2.67x.

LP Corner: Fund Performance Metrics - Internal Rate of Return (IRR) - Part One

In this post and the next post, we will explore measuring fund performance using internal rate of return or IRR. This post will provide an overview of IRR.  If you already have a good grasp of IRR, you can move to part two of this series: LP Corner: Fund Performance Metrics - Internal Rate of Return (IRR) - Part Two.
 
IRR Overview
In a basic sense, IRR is the return from a series of cash flows over time.  In the Private Equity space, IRR is commonly used to evaluate the performance of private equity (including venture capital, growth equity and buyout) funds.  IRR is best calculated using Excel, Google Sheets or another financial spreadsheet program.
 
Simple IRR Examples
Let’s assume that an LP commits $30 million to a fund, and that the fund returns $80 million in distributions to the LP.  (For a discussion on committed capital, see "LP Corner: On Committed Capital, Called Capital and Uncalled Capital.") On a multiple basis, this equates to a Total Value to Paid-in-Capital (TVPI) of 2.67x ($80M / $30M) – which sounds pretty good.  But let’s explore a bit deeper.

Note that in these examples, we are looking at cash flows from the perspective of an LP - payments made by the LP and money received by the LP.  This is known as a "Net IRR" because it focuses on the cash flows to and from the LP.  For a discussion of gross vs net returns, see "LP corner: Private Equity Fund Performance - An Overview."

Example 1:  Assume that when the fund has its closing (which is time 0 for purposes of calculating the IRR in Excel), it calls all capital from the LP (in reality, this doesn’t happen, but humor me as this is an example).  In five years, the fund distributes $80 to the LP.  This looks like this:

LP Corner: Fund Performance Metrics – Multiples TVPI, DPI and RVPI

  • LP Corner: Fund Performance Metrics – Public Market Equivalent (PME)
  • LP Corner: Fund Performance Metrics - Private Equity Fund Performance
  • LP Corner: Gross vs Net Returns

In this post, we will explore using multiples as a tool to evaluate fund performance.
 
The multiples are:
  • Distributions to Paid-in-Capital, or DPI
  • Residual Value to Paid-in-Capital, or RVPI
  • Total Value to Paid-in-Capital, or TVPI
 
Here’s some important terminology that will help explain the multiples:
  • Paid-in-Capital = the capital contributed by LPs to the fund.  Paid-in-capital is also known as “contributed capital” or “called capital” or sometimes “drawn capital.”  Note that Paid-in-Capital is different than Committed Capital.  Recall that an investment in a private equity fund occurs over time.  An investor in the fund, known as a limited partner or LP, agrees (commits) to invest a certain amount in a fund, say $10 million, as and when the manager of the fund, known as a general partner or GP, needs the capital.  In this case, the $10 million is the LP’s commitment.  As the GP asks for a portion of this commitment (known as a “call”), the amount paid by the LP to the fund is known as Paid-in-Capital, or PIC (this is also known as “called capital”).
  • Distributions = the value of the cash and stock that the fund has given back (distributed) to the LPs.  Distributions are typically low early in a fund’s life, ramping up over time as investments are exited.
  • Residual Value = the remaining value of the fund at a given point in time.  Residual value is the value of the fund’s investments plus other fund assets (cash, etc.) less fund liabilities.  So, for example, if the fund has 12 remaining investments with an aggregate estimated fair value of $100 million and another $3 million in cash, the Residual Value of the Fund is $103 million.  Early in a fund’s life when investments are being made residual value is typically high (reflecting the value of the investments) and declines over time as the fund exits its investments and makes distributions to the LPs.
  • Total Value = the total value of the fund, which is the sum of the distributions and the residual (remaining) value of the fund at a given point in time.  The mathematical relationship among these metrics is:

  • LP Corner: Fund Performance Metrics - Private Equity Fund Performance
  • LP Corner: Gross vs Net Returns

Introduction
How do LPs measure performance of a private equity fund?  It’s not a simple as one would think.  This post introduces a number of concepts, each of which will be discussed in more detail in future posts.
 
The following are the basic metrics used to evaluate fund performance:
  • Rate of return.  This is also called internal rate of return, or IRR.
  • Multiples.  These multiples include Total Value to Paid-in-Capital, Distributions to Paid-in-Capital, and Residual Value to Paid-in-Capital.
  • Relative performance.  This is performance relative to comparable funds (also called quartile performance).
  • Public market equivalent performance.  This is known as PME, and has a number of variants.
 
Each of the above performance metrics have positives and negatives.

Some Thoughts on Spotify's Direct Listing

1/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Stockholm-based music streaming service Spotify has confidentially filed a registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to undertake a direct listing of its shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").  This is very intriguing to me, as when I was an investment banker I worked on traditional firm-commitment initial public offerings.  I never worked on a direct listing of shares (probably because they are very rare and is there was little to no money to be made by the investment bankers. 

Spotify is eschewing the traditional IPO approach where the company typically raises money by hiring an investment banking syndicate to sell shares in an IPO.  In traditional IPOs, the investment bankers usually receive a fee of 7% of the price of the shares that are sold in the IPO.  As a direct listing, Spotify is not raising capital - it is simply registering its securities that will trade on the NYSE.  The trade-off here is that by not raising capital in an IPO, Spotify won't have to pay the standard 7% underwriter fee (note that this 7% commission is typically lower in very large IPOs).

The $100 Billion Venture Capital Bomb - II Article on Softbank's Vision Fund

1/2/2018

0 Comments

 
I have been intrigued by Softbank's $97 billion Vision Fund, the largest corporate venture fund in history.  The Vision Fund is making waves across the venture capital spectrum, with investments made or planned in companies such as Uber, WeWork, Roivant, Fanatics, Slack and Plenty.  The article by Hazel Sheffiled for Institutional Investor titled "The $100 Billioon Venture Capital Bomb" is a very interesting exploration of the motivations for the fund by its founder, Softbank's Masayoshi Son.  It's an interesting article, and worth a read.

Softbank Completes its Purchase of Fortress

12/29/2017

0 Comments

 
Softbank has completed its purchase of Fortress Investment Group, it was announced yesterday.  The deal was originally announced in February 2017 at a price of $3.3 billion.  Fortress went public in 2007 at $18.50 per Class A Share, and its shares declined dramatically during the financial crisis and never really recovered, selling to Softbank at $8.08 per share.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Softbank has in store for Fortress, and how it fits into Softbank's overall strategy.

NEPC Survey Findings

11/15/2017

0 Comments

 
Consulting firm NEPC, LLC has announced the results of its Q3 2017 NEPC Endowment and Foundation Poll, and the results contain the following findings:
  • Allocation to PE:
    • 31% have an allocation to private equity of over 10%.
    • 14% have no allocation to private equity.
    • 29% had an allocation of 1-5%
    • 27% had an allocation of 6-10%
  • 51% plan to increase their allocation to private equity in the next 12 months.
    • 39% plan to maintain expoure
    • 10% plan to decrease exposure
  • Outlook on PE returns
    • 44% anticipate lower returns for PE going forward
    • 39% anticipate returns in line with past returns
    • 17% anticipate higher returns
  • Current valuations:
    • 34% believe PE is overvalued
    • 2% undervalued
    • 10% in line iwth historical valuations
    • 17% not sure
    • 37% indicated that it depends on the strategy.

My take-aways from this are that as overall portfolio returns fall, endowments and foundations are considering increasing their exposure to private equity, as this asset class has outperformed other traditional asset classes.  They are doing this even with the expectation that PE returns will fall over time.

Is the Golden Age of the Startup Over? TechCrunch Article

10/23/2017

0 Comments

 
There's an interesting opinion piece on TechCrunch by Jon Evans called "After the end of the startup era."  In this piece, Mr. Evans argues that the golden age of the startup may be over, and in its place is a new world where big companies rule.  He asserts that many of the developing technologies (AI, hardware, self-driving cars, AR/VR and cryptocurrencies) favor large companies with talent, data and money available to develop these expensive and complex technologies.  It's an interesting piece.

Are SoftBank's Big Checks Stalling Tech IPOs? - Reuters Article

10/20/2017

0 Comments

 
In the Reuters article "SoftBank's big checks are stalling tech IPOs," author Heather Somerville explores the impact of deep-pocketed investors on the IPO market.  As deep pools of capital are available to companies, it delays a traditional reason for companies to go public.  SoftBank, which closed a $93 billion investment fund in May, has made some significant investments in companies such as WeWork, which provide these companies with capital so they don't have to go public. In addition, along with the big checks comes big valuations, and there is some concern that these companies would not achieve the same valuation in the public markets.

Private Equity Fund Goes Bust - WSJ

7/16/2017

0 Comments

 
The Wall Street Journal reported today in the article "From $2 Billion to Zero: A Private-Equity Fund Goes Bust in the Oil Patch" that EnerVest Ltd.'s 2013 energy-focused private equity fund is "now worth essentially nothing."  According to the article, the $2 billion fund "borrowed heavily to buy oil and gas wells before energy prices plunged" and "is now worth essentially nothing."  Investors in the fund included leading pension plans, foundations and other institutional investors.

It's rare for a private equity fund to become almost worthless.  The article states that only seven private equity funds larger than $1 billion have ever lost money for investors, according to Cambridge Associates LLC, a leading investment adviser.  It's more common for early-stage venture capital funds to suffer losses, and I know of a few funds of the 1999 to 2000 vintage years that lost a significant portion of their value.

This is a good reminder that investing in private equity, growth equity and venture capital funds is risky, and includes the risk that the fund may become worthless and the investor may lose their entire investments.

LP Corner: The J-Curve

7/8/2017

1 Comment

 
​First time investors in private equity funds are sometimes alarmed / confused / surprised to learn that their fund investment has a negative return in the early years of the fund’s life.  Then, to their relief, as the fund ages, the fund’s return increases.  This is known as the ”J-Curve” and it is a common phenomenon in private equity, particularly early-stage venture capital.  

​A simplified hypothetical representation is of the J-Curve is below:

LP Corner: Private Equity Fund Cash Flows from the LP Perspective

7/3/2017

1 Comment

 
​For investors that are new to investing in private equity funds (venture capital funds, growth equity funds and buyout funds), one area of confusion is often around how the fund cash flows work from the investor perspective.  This blog post attempts to explain this.
 
As an initial matter, it is important to understand that private equity funds are very different from mutual funds.  When an investor invests in a mutual fund, the investor will write a check on day 1 and at some point later in time will withdraw money from the fund.  Private equity funds operate on a very different basis - known as a "called capital" basis.  Let me explain.

LP Corner: The Four Phases in the Life of a Private Equity Fund

6/24/2017

0 Comments

 
Investing in private equity funds is a long-term process.  Private equity funds have finite lives, unlike mutual funds.  Most private equity funds come to market with a 10 year term with up to two one-year extensions at the discretion of the manager.  This suggests a fund term of 10-12 years.  However, most funds exist for much longer than 12 years from the initial call of capital to final liquidation.

I view the life of a private equity fund as having four phases:
  • Formation;
  • Investment;
  • Harvesting; and
  • Extension.
 
The four phases of a fund’s life can be viewed graphically:

LP Corner: On Committed Capital, Called Capital and Uncalled Capital

6/10/2017

0 Comments

 
The private equity world has a lot of terminology.  In a prior post, I discussed the structure of a private equity fund, and introduced the terms "limited partners" (or "LPs"), the "general partner" ( or "GP") and the "management company."  In this post, we'll explore fund "sizes" and a little bit of how investments in private equity funds work.

The "size" of a private equity fund is based on the total amount of money all investors 
commit to invest in the fund - known as "committed capital."  Because a private equity fund invests capital over time, the fund does not need all of the investors' money at the inception of the fund, and so the fund "calls" capital over time.  Private equity funds typically have initial terms of 10 years, but most of the new investing occurs during the first several years (usually 3-5 years) of the fund, known as the "investment period."  As a result, the fund calls the bulk of capital from the investors during this investment period.

For investors new to investing in private equity funds, the mechanics of how funds work can be a bit confusing.  This post introduces the typical private equity fund structure that's used in the United States - the limited partnership.

Basic Limited Partnership Structure
In a basic limited partnership, there are several passive investors (known as "Limited Partners" or "LPs") and the manager of the fund, (known as the "General Partner" or "GP").  The diagram below illustrates this basic structure.

This is one of a series of posts on fund terms.  Other posts include:
  • Management Fee
  • ​Carried Interest Overview
  • Carried Interest – Preferred Return and GP Catchup
  • GP Clawback

Private equity funds (buyout, venture capital and growth equity funds) are typically structured as limited partnerships, which have two types of partners: limited partners, or LPs, which are passive investors in the fund; and a general partner, or GP, which is the manager of the fund.  As I evaluate funds, one of the fund terms that receives special attention is the amount of money the GP will commit to the fund - which is called "GP Commitment", "GP Capital Commitment" or "GP Commit."

Does Private Equity Have A Public Relations Problem?

5/5/2017

0 Comments

 
Reuters recently posted an article "Super-rich private equity stars rue 'lousy' reputation, say they are misunderstood."  The article reports that Stephen Schwarzman of the Blackston Group and other private equity pros feel that the industry has a public relations problem.  
This article comes on the heels of some other public comments made by others in the industry and outside the industry which have re-kindled a long-standing debate about the merits of the private equity industry.

I have previously posted about this topic, and I think the prior posts help to frame this article.
