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

A private equity fund called 100 of committed capital, paid in 100 over time, and has made distributions of 60 while the remaining investments are valued at 90. The fund's TVPI is closest to:

TVPI is closest to 1.50. It equals distributions plus residual net asset value, 60 plus 90, divided by paid-in capital of 100. The 0.60 figure is DPI, which excludes unrealized holdings.

  1. A0.60
  2. B1.50Correct
  3. C1.60

Explanation

TVPI = (distributions + residual value) / paid-in capital = (60 + 90) / 100 = 1.50. DPI is 0.60, which ignores unrealized value; 1.60 wrongly adds the 100 differently or double counts.
