SynopsisIn recent times, venture capital and private equity funds have become household names, but so far little has been written for the investors in such funds, the so-called limited partners. There is far more to the management of a portfolio of venture capital and private equity funds than usually perceived., BEYOND THE J CURVE Thomas Meyer & Pierre-Yves Mathonet In recent times, venture capital and private equity funds have become household names, but so far little has been written for the investors in such funds the socalled 'limited partners'. Beyond the J Curve provides an innovative toolset for such limited partners to design and manage portfolios tailored to the dynamics of this market place, going far beyond the typical and often-simplistic recipe to 'go for top quartile funds'. 'The authors of Beyond the J Curve have taken on the ambitious project of analysing the difficult and controversial area of valuing fund portfolios. Their innovative and integrated approach opens up the framework within which these valuations are practised by investors, and offers alternatives. Beyond the J Curve is a thorough and pioneering contribution to the current debate.' Javier Echarri, Secretary General, European Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (EVCA) 'In this groundbreaking book, Meyer and Mathonet provide both the theoretical underpinnings for, and practical realities of, building a successful portfolio of private equity investments. It is an invaluable resource for any institutional investor who is constructing or managing a portfolio of investments in private equity and/or venture capital.' Mark D. Wiseman, Chairman, Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) ' Beyond the J Curve is right on target, giving the private equity investment manager much-needed guidance on how to put private equity into a modern diversified investment portfolio. It provides practical, comprehensive advice on traversing the often risky waters of venture and private equity investing and provides a thorough and advanced introduction. It should become a 'musthave' reference.' Jesse E. Reyes, Managing Director, Reyes Analytics, In recent times, venture capital and private equity funds have become household names, but so far little has been written for the investors in such funds, the so-called limited partners. There is far more to the management of a portfolio of venture capital and private equity funds than usually perceived. Beyond the J Curve describes an innovative toolset for such limited partners to design and manage portfolios tailored to the dynamics of this market place, going far beyond the typical and often-simplistic recipe to 'go for top quartile funds'. Beyond the J Curve provides the answers to key questions, including: Why 'top-quartile' promises should be taken with a huge pinch of salt and what it takes to select superior fund managers? What do limited partners need to consider when designing and managing portfolios? How one can determine the funds' economic value to help addressing the questions of 'fair value' under IAS 39 and 'risk' under Basel II or Solvency II? Why is monitoring important, and how does a limited partner manage his portfolio? How the portfolio's returns can be improved through proper liquidity management and what to consider when over-committing? And, why uncertainty rather than risk is an issue and how a limited partner can address and benefit from the fast changing private equity environment? Beyond the J Curve takes the practitioner's view and offers private equity and venture capital professionals a comprehensive guide making high return targets more realistic and sustainable. This book is a must have for all parties involved in this market, as well as academic and students.
