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 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 012345678910 -5010080 IRR=7.87% What is distribution? What is the IRR when the Fund was 4 years old? How does the VC get paid? Multiple 1.8x What if 100 was distributed at the end of Year 5 instead of Year 7?

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

Key Ventures

14 Yale $18 billion endowment Pressures to spend money: – Declining Federal dollars. – Infrastructure. – Faculty salaries. – New Haven investment. Two bad historical bets: – Bonds in late 1930s. – Small-cap stocks in late 1960s.

15 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.

16 An Unconventional Mix

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

18 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.

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

20 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.”

21 Private Equity Fundraising

22 Private Equity Returns

23 Mixture of Funding Sources

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

25 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.

26 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.

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

28 Private Equity Fundraising Outside U.S.

29 Alternative Strategies Real estate: – Aggressive market timing. – Willingness to back new partnerships. Oil-and-gas: – Increasing reliance on public companies because too many conflicts in partnerships.

30 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?

31 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
