SOURCES
• ~50% from GPs upon request from LPs who contract our benchmarking services
• ~50% from GPs who need data for their own benchmarking and fund raising needs
• Since we get data from LPs in addition to GPs there is not a consistent or significant self reporting bias
• We calculate IRR ourselves (we do not use self-reported IRRs) based on the underlying cashflows, and we verify against general partner financial reports to LPs
• We treat confidentiality very carefully – all data reported is strictly anonymous

PRINCIPAL MEASURES• Cumulative IRR Since Inception
• Cumulative Realisation Multiples
• Time Weighted Return
• Investment Horizon Return
• Monthly Cash Flows
• Public Market Comparables – Index method

PRIVATE EQUITY AND PUBLIC MARKET COMPARATORS
*Comparators are Internal Rates of Return (IRR). IRRs for public market indices are calculated by investing the equivalent cash flows that were invested in private equity into the public market index. Then an equivalent IRR is calculated for each index.
