Chapter 23, Problem 4P
Suppose venture capital firm GSB partners raised $100 million of committed capital. Each year over the 10- year life of the fund, 2% of this committed capital will be used to pay GSB’s management fee. As is typical in the venture capital industry, GSB will only invest $80 million (committed capital less lifetime management fees). At the end of 10 years, the investments made by the fund are worth $400 million. GSB also charges 20% carried interest on the profits of the fund (net of management fees).
- a. Assuming the $80 million in invested capital is invested immediately and all proceeds were received at the end of 10 years, what is the
IRR of the investments GSB partners made? That is, compute IRR ignoring all management fees. - b. Of course, as an investor, or limited partner, you are more interested in your own IRR-that is, the IRR including all fees paid. Assuming that investors gave GSB partners the full $100 million up front, what is the IRR for GSB’s limited partners (that is, the IRR net of all fees paid).

Students have asked these similar questions
1) Assume a VC firm raised $6B in committed capital for a 10-year investment fund. Each year, 2% of the committed capital will go to management fees, or 20% total. The remaining 80%, or $4.8B, will be invested in start-up firms. The firm also charges 20% carried interest on the profits of the fund.
Assume the fund is worth $77.6B at the end of 10 years. What is the annual IRR based on the $6B initial investment? This is what the investors earned, after expenses. Note that you must take out the carried interest to find out the amount that goes to the investors.
2) A firm needs to raise $474.2 million in its IPO to fund its next investment project. The flotation costs (aka underwriting fees) are equal to 7%. How much does the firm need to raise so that they are left with the amount they need after flotation costs?
3)
Determine how many new shares of stock would need to be sold in an IPO with the following characteristics:
Pre-IPO valuation: $2 billion

Citadel invests $65.75 billion in each of Samsung Hedge Fund (SHF) and Apple Hedge Fund (AHF). Citadel has “1 and 20” fee structure and its management fees and incentive fees are calculated independently at the end of each year. After one year, the investment in SHF is valued at $85.45 billion and the investment in AHF is valued at $91.75 billion. The annual return to an investor in Citadel is closest to
A.
16.76%.
B.
20.15%.
C.
26.45%.
D.
31.37%.
Clear my choice
A certain company must raise SR 220 million to fund its next project. 25% of the funds will come from
a bank loan, which is charging 6.5%. 45% of the funds will come from issuing corporate bonds, at a
rate of 4.5%. The remaining funds will be raised by selling preferred stock, with a promise of dividend
payments of 7.8%.
