84、 private capital as a measurement for how FoFs have been doing provides a loose approximation,but as explained in Numbers Mean Nothing Without Benchmarking,it is important to compare investment returns to appropriate metrics.When looking at VC FoFs versus primary VC funds,we find that going back to
85、2009,the FoFs have outperformed their primary fund counterparts in 36 of 62 one-year periods.The returns of both are net of fees,so this 58%success rate speaks well to the skill and/or access that the VC FoFs can Funds of funds rolling one-year horizon IRRs by type-20%0%20%40%60%80%100%Q1Q3Q1Q3Q1Q3Q

88、nd some managers will have done better.Manager selection is important in the private markets,as the return experience for an LP can vary widely depending on the funds selected.For the 2013 vintage,the top decile in the FoF universe has thus far returned 22.5%,17.7%above that of the bottom decile.Whi

91、 may also be funds that took more risk and the risks manifested negatively.Essentially,in looking at how FoFs have performed,caution must be taken to avoid misinterpreting the data,as FoFs are an access point rather than a strategy,and the products housed in the grouping may not be appropriately com

93、lobal As of June 30,2024Hilary Wiek,CFA,CAIA Senior Strategist Like FoFs,secondaries are an access point to a wide variety of private market strategies rather than a discrete asset class.These funds do share a similar objective by seeking to purchase fund interests at a discount and holding them for
94、 a short period to increase the odds of attractive IRRs.Each fund,however,may have different objectives about what they are planning to purchasethey may focus on assets such as VC fund interests,they may shop across fund strategies for any LP interests that are priced attractively,or they may specia
95、lize in GP-led secondaries only.All this is to say that while secondaries may under-or outperform private capital overall,the comparability of the figures may be inexact.In the absence of another benchmark,however,we can say that secondaries have been tracking closely to private capital returns for
96、six quarters nowtrading the lead back and forth each quarter during this time.This followed six quarters when secondaries funds were able to capitalize on buying at a discount and immediately marking up their holdings to the GP-determined NAVs that were at high levels despite declines in the public
97、equity markets.As returns came back to earth,the immediate markup advantage faded,and now these secondaries funds will have to depend on old-fashioned distributions to provide cash returns to investors.2020 saw a record when it came to fundraising for secondaries funds,and we expect 2024 to beat tha
98、t level,as the funds from that vintage have returned to market with continued optimism about the prospect for secondaries.Anticipated disruption from the pandemic inspired the established secondaries firms to raise larger funds and also attracted new players to the space.It remains to be seen how th
99、ose funds will do when all is said and done,as discounts paid on high valuations may not have been enough to counter the write-downs that have happened since.18Q2 2024 GLOBAL FUND PERFORMANCE REPORTSECONDARIESSecondaries funds IRR dispersion by vintage0%5%10%15%20%25%30%35%40%45%20102011201220132014
