“Take Your Companies Public”
So my message here to all venture capitalists, now is the time. Please take your companies public. I breathe investing.These business models these GPS are creating are some of the best high margin businesses ever created. My question to any new allocator or investor is do you think you're going to have access to top decile managers. Because at that point top decile you are achieving returns above the PME consistently but below that even top quartortile you're not. ...
Miles Dieffenbach: Inside Carnegie Mellon’s $4BN Endowment & The Math Behind DPI, TVPI, Illiquidity
Venture Capital Investment Strategies - Venture capital firms should consider taking companies public now, as current business models are creating high-margin businesses [1][19] - New allocators or investors need access to top decile managers to consistently achieve returns above the Public Market Equivalent (PME); otherwise, even top quartile performance is insufficient [1] - The venture industry is seeing a shift in partnership dynamics, with increased changes in partnerships over the past two years, driven by factors such as reduced compensation and a desire to avoid current market challenges [10] - The industry should be wary of multi-stage platforms, as the large fund sizes make it difficult to achieve the same returns as in the past [12] - The industry should be aware that thematic funds are approached agnostically, focusing on finding great partners with aligned skill sets rather than adhering to specific mandates [20] Endowment Management - Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) manages $4 billion on behalf of the university, with 85% allocated to equity and 15% to fixed income [6] - CMU targets 50% of its portfolio in privates (venture capital, private equity, real estate, natural resources, private credit) and the other 50% in hedge funds and liquids (public equities and fixed income) [6] - CMU is overweight venture by 5-10 percentage points compared to most endowments of its size and underweight hedge funds and real assets [6] - Endowments are facing headwinds, particularly those that may be subject to taxation, which could impact their draw and investment strategies [11] Venture Capital Fund Performance & Metrics - The median Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for mature venture capital funds is about 8% net, with the top quartile at 15%, and a Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC) of about 25x [6] - Top quartile Distributed to Paid-In Capital (DPI) from 15-year vintage funds (1998-2015) is 18x [6] - A key question for new allocators is whether they will have access to top decile managers, as only those consistently achieve returns above the PME [6] - The industry should be aware that a 6x gross return is needed to achieve a 4x net return, considering fees of 25% and 30% for early-stage funds and 2% and 20% for growth funds [13]
