  9. Review of Important Terms • VC firm • General partner (GP) • VC fund • Limited partner (LP) • Capital call = drawdown = takedown • Committed capital • Early-stage fund, late-stage fund, multi-stage fund • Vintage year • Management Fees • Carried interest

  10. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Some Basics • How is return of a fund measured? • Consider a fund that raised 100 million – Drew down 50 million at start of year 1 and Year 2. Distributed 100 million at the end of year 7 and 80 million at the end of year 10. -50 -50 100 80 IRR=7.87% Multiple 1.8x What if 100 was distributed at the end of Year 5 instead of Year 7? • What is distribution? • What is the IRR when the Fund was 4 years old? • How does the VC get paid?

  11. Basics of Fund Performance • Simple calculations have ignored fees/expenses to be paid • We shall see a more realistic example in Key Ventures

  12. Key Ventures • Size is $250 million, life 10 years • Management Fee 2% collected at start of each year. (2%x250 = 5 million each year) • Lifetime fees = 10x5=50 million • Investment Capital = 250-10x5= 200 • Assume 4 equal take downs (200/4=50) • Assume gross return is 25% • 10% of portfolio value is distributed every year starting in Year 4 (end of year). • No carry till the entire 250 million is returned to investors

  14. A Clear Philosophy • Focus on Equities--public or private. • Avoiding market timing. • Focus on inefficient markets. • Pick investment managers rather than investments. • Focus on incentives.

  15. An Unconventional Mix

  16. Strong Track Record • 15 year return of 14.2%: • 2.7% above S&P 500 • 4.3% above all universities.

  17. Private Equity is an Important Element • Investor since 1973. • Repeated investments in partnerships formed by a select group of organizations. • Emphasis on value-added strategies. • Focus on incentives.

  18. Spectacular Success in Private Equity • 31% over 29 years--well above benchmarks. • Success in venture capital, buyouts, and oil & gas. • Prestige investor.

  19. But Worries About Future • Recent fund influx: • Private pension funds in 1980s. • Public pension funds in 1990s. • Private equity pool--from $4B in 1980 to ~$300B in 2004. • “Virtual overhang.”

  20. Private Equity Fundraising

  21. Private Equity Returns

  22. Mixture of Funding Sources

  23. Implications of Fund Influx • Alteration in incentives. • Relaxation of covenants. • Concerns about within-fund compensation. • Quality of deals.

  24. But ... • Good returns during last fund influx. • Inter-quartile spreads: • 3% in public equities. • 12% in private equity. • Private equity small relative to potential: $1:$30.

  25. But…. (2) • Ways to manage risks: • Top down: Optimizer. • Drove decision to undertake major hedging effort in 1999. • Bottom up: What—in Swensen’s team’s judgment—are the interesting areas going forward? • Swensen: Must use both approaches! • Need for communication and trust with Investment Committee.

  26. Challenge of Internationalization • 10% of Yale’s private equity, mostly Europe. • Poorer returns. • Organizational worries and difficulties of assessment. • Who to back?

  27. Swensen’s Dilemma • Is private equity still viable for Yale? • If so, where? • If not, what other asset classes should they pursue? • How far can it go in pursuit of returns? • How dangerous is it to be different?

  28. Yale Investment Office 2006 • Domestic Equity 12%, Bonds 4%!!! • Private Equity 17% • Real Assets 27% • Beat S&P500 in every year since 2002 by Wide mragins!! Endowment size $18 billion
