CFA Level I · CFA Level I Exam · Alternative Investment Performance and Returns

A fund reports paid-in capital of $50 million, cumulative distributions of $20 million and a residual value of $45 million. The fund's TVPI is closest to:

TVPI is the sum of DPI and RVPI, or total distributions plus residual value divided by paid-in capital. Here (20 + 45) / 50 equals 1.30, so the fund has created total value of 1.30 times the capital that investors paid in.

  1. A0.90
  2. B1.30Correct
  3. C1.60

Explanation

TVPI = DPI + RVPI = 20/50 + 45/50 = 0.40 + 0.90 = 1.30. The 0.90 figure is RVPI alone, and 1.60 results from wrongly using distributions plus residual over distributions-based capital of about 40.
