问题如下:

Which of the following is true regarding private equity performance calculations?

选项:

A.The money multiple calculate relies on the amount and timing of cash flows. B.The IRR calculation involves the assumption of two rates. C.Because private equity funds have low volatility, accounting conventions allow them to use a lagged mark-to-market process.

解释:

B is correct. The determination of an IRR involves certain assumptions about a financing rate to use for outgoing cash flows (typically a weighted average cost of capital) and a reinvestment rate assumption to make on incoming cash flows (which must be assumed and may or may not actually be earned).

A is incorrect because the money multiple calculation completely ignores the timing of cash flows.

C is incorrect because it is somewhat of a reversal of cause and effect: Private equity (PE) funds can appear to have low volatility because of the lag in their mark-to-market process. It’s not that PE investments don’t actually rise and fall behind the scenes with economic influences, but accounting conventions may simply leave longer-lived investments marked at their initial cost for some time or with only modest adjustments to such carrying value until known impairments or realization events begin to transpire. Also, because PE funds are not easily marked to market, their returns can appear somewhat smoothed, making them appear more resilient and less correlated with other assets than they really are. The slowness to re-mark them can unfortunately be confused by investors as an overall lack of volatility.

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


问题中问到关于私人股权基金绩效计算的哪个选项是正确的,答案是B。


解释如下:

B是正确的。计算IRR涉及到一些假设,包括用于流出现金流的融资利率(通常采用加权平均资本成本)和用于再投资现金流的再投资利率假设(必须假设,但可能或可能不会实际获得)。

A是不正确的,因为金钱倍数计算完全忽略了现金流的时机。

C是不正确的,因为它有点颠倒了因果关系:私人股权(PE)基金的市价可以因其滞后性而显得波动较小。这并不是说PE投资实际上不会随经济影响而上涨和下跌,而是会计惯例可能只会在一段时间内按初始成本标记长期投资或仅对其账面价值进行适度调整,直到出现减值或变现事件开始发生。此外,由于PE基金不易按市场价值标记,其回报率可能显得比较平稳,使其看起来比实际情况更有弹性且与其他资产的相关性更低。不幸的是,投资者可能会将其缓慢重新标记误解为整体缺乏波动性。
