Risk and Return
Also revealed in the 2014 Private Equity
Performance Monitor is Preqin’s latest
analysis of risk-return trade-offs, broken
out by geographic focus, fund strategy and
vintage year. By plotting the median against
the standard deviation of net IRRs, we are
able to examine which fund types have
the most attractive risk-return profile. As
explained in Chapter 12, and seen in Fig.
1.3, a significant range is displayed across
both axes for the different private equity
investment strategies. Though there are
risks inherent in any illiquid market such as
private equity, the level of risk between the
different fund types varies by some margin.

Unrealized Value ($bn)
As confirmed in Preqin’s latest Investor
Outlook survey, LPs are still looking
to increase their allocations to private
equity, and as upticks are seen in annual
fundraising figures, the industry’s assets
under management (AUM) have continued
to climb ever higher. In fact, since the turn of
the millennium, the private equity industry’s
AUM have risen year on year, and have
attained the highest figure to date of $3.7tn
as of 31 December 2013. Preqin calculates
AUM by adding the uncalled capital
commitments (dry powder) to the unrealized
value of portfolio assets, as displayed in Fig.
1.1, which illustrates the steady incremental
increases in unrealized portfolio value each
year, and the record amount of private
equity dry powder available as of December
2013.

2001
In last year’s Preqin Private Equity
Performance Monitor, we acknowledged
the economic turmoil that was endured by
the industry following the crash of 2008,
the onset of the European sovereign debt
crisis, and the fluctuations around these
events. All-in-all, the progress of the private
equity market since the downturn six years
ago has been encouraging, reflected in the
ever increasing amounts of capital investors
around the world commit to the asset class.
Furthermore, and perhaps most notably
for investors, performance data shows that
distributions have increased considerably
over the past year, from $381bn in 2012 to
$568bn in 2013, making it the highest level
of capital LPs have ever received back from
their private equity investments in a year.
Fig. 1.2 displays the new peak, and more
trends in private equity dry powder and
AUM are discussed in Chapter 11.

Preqin’s tables of consistent performing
managers, featured in the 2014 Preqin
Private Equity Performance Monitor, can
help with this task. Each fund that Preqin
has performance data for is assigned a
quartile ranking using Preqin’s Performance
Analyst online service, which contains
performance data for over 7,000 private
equity funds worldwide. These rankings are
based upon the peer group of each vehicle
and take into account vintage year, strategy
and geographic focus. Both the multiple and
IRR are used as key indicators and equal
emphasis is placed on both metrics.

2013 saw an uptick in venture capital
performance as a whole. Fig. 1.4 depicts
the rolling one-year horizon IRRs for the
whole private equity industry, as well as
buyout and venture capital. Venture capital
outperforms its buyout counterparts and the
whole private equity asset class with a return
of 19.7% in one year to December 2013.
The importance of finding consistent
performing fund managers is crucial for any
investor that wants maximum reassurance
that their fund commitment will be in safe
hands. Though past performance is no
guarantee of future returns, data such
as the performance metrics available on
Preqin’s Performance Analyst are highly
valuable tools to help benchmark funds and
inform LP decisions.

On the other side of the spectrum, we find
early stage funds with a much less attractive
risk-return profile. However, the high
standard deviation in the chart highlights
the wide range of net IRRs that can be
attained, and therefore suggests that early
stage funds still offer the potential of hitting
a lucrative ‘home run’ investment.

market has gone from strength to strength,
breaking records for fundraising and
transaction volume year on year. The
growth and maturation of the secondary
market has been tracked by Preqin over
time, as has the increasing number of
investors that have expressed an interest
in buying or selling fund stakes in order to
reap a range of benefits. For sellers, this
includes meeting liquidity requirements,
portfolio rebalancing, and the opportunity
to exit poor performing funds. For buyers,
secondary market purchases will help
mitigate the J-curve effect inherent in private
equity commitments, and provide access to
top performing managers and chances to
acquire fund stakes at a good discount to
NAV.

data and has assigned a quartile ranking.
Additionally, 2012, 2013 and 2014 vintage
funds have been excluded as these funds
are too early in their fund lives to generate
meaningful IRRs. The list only includes fund
managers that have raised at least three
funds of a similar strategy.
Four buyout fund managers, Rhone
Capital, Altor, Wynnchurch Capital Partners
and Trilantic Capital Partners have all
of their funds ranked in the top quartile,
and therefore have achieved the best
possible average quartile rank of 1.00.
Morgan Stanley Global Private Equity and
Waterland follow, each with a score of 1.20.
Extended lists of consistent performing fund
managers, broken out into various fund
types, are available in Chapter 3 of the
Performance Monitor.
The 2014 Preqin Private Equity
Performance Monitor
We are proud to be launching the eleventh
edition of the Performance Monitor,
celebrating over a decade of providing
net-to-LP returns data to the private equity
community. This edition contains key metrics
for over 7,000 funds, representing 70% of
the total capital raised by the industry.
Additionally, multiple sources are used to
ensure accuracy. We hope that you find this
year’s edition of the Performance Monitor to
be a useful and effective tool and, as ever,
welcome any feedback that you may have.
This edition of the Performance Monitor
features the PrEQIn Private Equity
Quarterly Index, regional performance of
private equity funds, and 10-year horizon
IRRs, as well as analysis of private equity
performance by fund type, size and region.
In addition, the Monitor explores the effects
of past performance on private equity
fundraising, performance benchmarks for
the different fund types, regions and vintage
years, as well as an analysis of listed private
equity performance, synthetic IRRs for
private equity funds of funds, dry powder
and assets under management, and more.
Preqin gathers its performance information
directly from both fund managers and
investors, ensuring that the full spectrum
of private equity fund performance is
observed, be it positive or negative.

2. Methodology
The content of the 2014 Preqin Private
Equity Performance Monitor is focused on
the performance of private equity funds
available to institutional investors, and as
a result, excludes direct investments in
unlisted corporate securities.
The fund-level performance data and all
related analysis herewith is taken from
Performance Analyst, our online service and
the world’s most extensive and transparent
source of private equity performance.
Launched in 2003, Performance Analyst
initially held data for 1,086 funds. This
figure has since grown substantially, and at
present, Performance Analyst holds fundlevel data for over 7,000 funds, representing
a 7.2% increase from the previous year. In
terms of total capital raised, Performance
Analyst contains data for over 70% of all
funds raised historically. Subscribers to
Performance Analyst will be able to view
all of the data contained within the Monitor
online, in addition to obtaining fund level
performance data updated on a regular
basis. Further information can be found at:
www.preqin.com/pa.
Preqin reports fund-level performance data
which is representative of the investor’s
experience. Therefore, all the figures
presented within the Monitor show the
net position to the investor, and all returns
7
information is based on the institutional
investor’s position before tax, but after the
GP’s managed and carried fees have been
deducted.
Performance figures held by Preqin are
obtained from various sources and via
varying means. The majority of performance
figures are attributed to institutional
investors and are obtained via Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) requests; these
requests include CalPERS, Washington
State Investment Board, and Florida State
Board of Administration among many others
both in the US and the UK. We currently have
approximately 350 (active and web-based)
public pension funds and endowments that
are contributing performance figures to
Preqin.
In addition to obtaining performance
figures via FOIA requests, Preqin also
receives performance data directly from
GPs themselves. As a significant proportion
of our online subscribers consist of
prospective investors viewing performance
figures on a fund level, GPs inevitably
recognize the importance of providing the
most accurate and the most recent data,
consistent with our net-to-LP performance
metrics definitions, to ensure the funds are
represented both accurately and in line with
our methodologies.
Our wide range of data sources and our
extensive research program allows us
to verify data for funds on an individual
basis, ensuring a high level of confidence
in the accuracy of the data held. Preqin
greatly appreciates GPs contributing fund
performance data: therefore we are happy
to offer those GPs complimentary access
to our Performance Benchmark module
within Performance Analyst, in addition
to discounted access to the full version of
Performance Analyst. Should you require
further information, or wish to contribute
performance data, please contact us at
[email protected] or visit our website
at www.preqin.com/pa.
Preqin acknowledges the importance of GP
feedback on each fund. Hence, prior to the
release of the Monitor, GPs were invited
to comment and amend their individual
fund performance, ensuring that the data
included within this publication is accurate
and up to date. This process took place
during June 2014, though we are still happy
to receive any additional feedback, and this
will be incorporated onto our database once
received.
The dates to which the performance figures
relate are provided in the fund listings
and are an important consideration for
the readers to ensure the data is correctly
interpreted. The Monitor shows the most
up-to-date information at the time of going
to press in July 2014. The majority of the
data presented in this book is as of the
fourth quarter of 2013 or the first quarter of
2014. On occasion, data that is older than
this will be included and will mostly relate to
funds with more mature vintages that have
already distributed the majority of the capital
back to investors and hence the data is not
expected to change significantly.
In order to ensure the most appropriate
fund-level comparisons are conducted,
percentages have been used to represent
all performance metrics. The following chart
gives a representation of performance
metrics displayed in the fund listings section
of the Monitor. ‘Called percentage’ refers
to the ratio of capital called at the specified
date against the total amount committed
to the fund. ‘Distributed to paid-in capital
(DPI)’ refers to the amount received by the
investors as a percentage of the paid-in
capital to date. The ‘residual value to paidin capital (RVPI)’ percentage measures the
remaining value of the portfolio expressed
as a percentage of paid-in capital to date.
The multiple is the sum of the distribution
and the remaining value figures, expressed
as a times factor of the total capital called to
date. Finally, Preqin defines the vintage year
as the year in which the first investment was
© 2014 Preqin Ltd
Methodology - Sample Pages
made from the fund using LP capital (i.e.
the year of the first capital call to LPs for
investment).
Preqin generates benchmarks for all the
main performance metrics - called, DPI,
RVPI, multiple and IRR - using the median,
average, pooled or money-weighted value.
However, due to the space limitation within
the Monitor, the Monitor only displays
the median IRR benchmark figures. All
benchmark figures generated by Preqin
are available to subscribers of Performance
Analyst, in addition to the feature of creating
custom benchmarks from their individual
user-defined
fund
universe.

terminologies and methodologies can be

website at www.preqin.com, and should
readers of the Monitor have any further
questions, they are most welcome to

Preqin Ltd.

Additionally, Preqin generates quartile
rankings for individual funds. Each fund
universe constitutes funds with similar
fund types, geographies and vintage
years, enabling the quartile rankings to
be assigned using a combination of both
the IRR and multiple rankings of each
constituent fund, with equal weights being
placed on each the IRR and multiple. In
instances where the sample size is small,
the funds are assigned quartile rankings
which are generated against the private
equity industry in its entirety.
The 2014 Preqin Private Equity Performance
Monitor aims to conduct analysis and
provide insight into all private equity types
from many different geographic regions.
Preqin uses the term “private equity” to
denote a variety of fund types: buyout,
venture capital, mezzanine, distressed

PrEQIn - Private Equity Quarterly Index - Sample Pages
The PrEQIn Private Equity Quarterly Index
draws on information taken from Preqin’s
Performance Analyst. It is a moneyweighted index that uses fund-level cash
flow transactions and net asset values
for over 7,500 individual private equity
partnerships - these funds have raised over
$4.1tn in aggregate capital.
The Index is created using the following
calculation:
Percentage change in quarter = [(NAV
at end of quarter + distributions during
quarter)/(NAV at start of quarter + call-ups
during quarter)] – 1.
These returns are then combined to form
an index with the starting value of 100 as of
31 December 2000. In addition to an overall
private equity index, we have calculated

PrEQIn Private Equity Quarterly Index:
All Strategies
Fig. 5.1 shows the PrEQIn All Private Equity,
Buyout, Venture Capital, Real Estate, Fund
of Funds and Distressed Private Equity
Indices together with the S&P 500 rebased
to 100 as of 31 December 2000. Examining
these indices provides an insight into the
performance of the main private equity
fund types in comparison to each other, the
industry as a whole, and public markets.
The PrEQIn All Private Equity Index shows
an initial decline following the dot-com
crash in the early 2000s. The performance
of the industry subsequently improved
until December 2007, when the industry
experienced a decrease in performance that
continued through subsequent quarters.
This resulted from the financial crisis as
well as the introduction of mark-to-market
valuations during this time. After Q1 2009,

venture capital by investment stage and
private equity by performance quartile
ranking, allowing investors to analyze and
compare different parts of their private
equity portfolios. At this time, the figures for
Q2 2013 are finalized; however, Q3 2013
and Q4 2013 figures are preliminary and
subject to change.

Assessing the performance of an investment
portfolio is an important and challenging
task for an investor, and many different
metrics are required when constructing
and maintaining an effective private equity
program. The PrEQIn Private Equity
Quarterly Index is the first index covering
the whole private equity industry, enabling
investors to compare the returns from their
private equity portfolios to those of other
asset classes.
