2008 Investment Benchmarks Reports: Buyouts and Other Private Equity

BOPE Cover This definitive report contains statistics for over 672 buyout and mezzanine partnerships formed between 1976 and 2007 and includes:

  • Aggregate performance statistics provided by vintage year, by composite portfolio and by time horizons - analyzed by stage, fund size and sequence
  • A comprehensive analysis of correlation statistics representing $US561.7 billion in capitalisation
  • More than 260 tables, charts and graphs to complement the analysis

The Buyouts and Other Private Equity Report contains five chapters and four appendices.

  • Chapter I: Introduction & Executive Summary.
  • Chapter II: User’s Guide & Methodology.
  • Chapter III: Vintage Year Analysis - statistics by “vintage year” or cohort group.
  • Chapter IV: Composite Analysis - analysis of the performance of groups of funds formed over a period of years rather than being limited to a single vintage year. This allows investors to compare performance of their portfolios with performance of a composite cohort group of funds formed over the same time period.
  • Chapter V: Asset Class Comparison & Correlation Analysis - analysis of correlation statistics and performance information key to performing asset allocation and portfolio optimization modelling. It also discusses problems in applying traditional optimization techniques to private equity.
  • Appendices - include IRR calculations, a Glossary of Terms, US private equity statistics, and Thomson Reuters data collection processes and policies.
