This year’s report offers a data-backed counter narrative to several commonly held misconceptions about the private markets asset class.

Mario Giannini, Executive Co-Chairman and author of the Market Overview, commented: “As new investors enter the asset class and we continue to navigate a broadly challenging economic climate in 2024, the need for data-oriented analysis becomes even more important.

In our view, investors must get comfortable making hard decisions, and must be able to separate fact from fiction. That matters today more than ever.”

Definitions
- Internal Rate of Return (IRR) – IRR is the annual rate of growth that an investment is expected to generate. Mathematically, the interest rate that sets the net present value of all cash flows to zero.
- Time-weighted Return (TWR) – Time-weighted return is a measure of compound rate of growth in a portfolio
- TVPI – Multiple to measure cumulative returns, both realized and unrealized. TVPI is the ratio of current value of remaining investments of the fund plus total value of all distributions to date, relative to total amount of capital paid to date.
- MOIC (Multiple on Invested Capital) – The same mathematical definition as TVPI, except is typically a multiple of the investment commitment itself rather than what was paid in by the investor.
