Auto-calculated fund and company investment metric definitions

Understanding investment metrics and how they're calculated in Visible

Fund-level investment metric definitions

Fund-level investment metrics are calculated across all portfolio companies in a specific fund.

Auto-calculated fund-level investment metrics include: 

  • Total invested = Sum of amount invested across all rounds
  • Total number of investments = Sum of unique portfolio companies where there is at least one investment
  • Average investment amount = Total invested / total number of investments
  • Capital remaining = Fund size - total invested - management fees - expenses
  • New capital deployed = Sum of amount invested for initial investment rounds

  • Follow on capital deployed = Sum of round sizes after initial investment

  • Follow on capital raised = Sum of round sizes after initial investment
  • Total portfolio company capital raised = Sum of round sizes
  • Total number of exits = Sum of unique portfolio companies where there is at least one exit
  • Multiple = FMV / total invested
  • FMV (Fair Market Value)= Sum of most recent FMV values 
  • Realized FMV = Sum of amount exited
  • Unrealized FMV = FMV - realized FMV
  • Gross DPI (Distribution to Paid-in Capital) = Realized FMV / total capital called 

  • Gross RVPI (Residual Value to Paid in)  = Unrealized FMV / total capital called

  • Gross TVPI (Total Value to Paid in) = DPI + RVPI

  • Gross IRR = computed using sum of amount invested across all companies (outflows),  sum of exits and unrealized company FMVs across all companies (inflows) 
  • Net IRR = computed using Capital Calls, Management Fees, Fund Expenses, Carried Interest (outflows), distributions and unrealized company FMVs (inflows)
  • Total capital called = Sum of capital called 

  • Uncalled capital = Fund size - total capital called 

  • % of Fund Deployed = Total invested / total fund size
  • % of Fund Called = Total capital called / total fund size

Company-level investment metric definitions

Company-level investment metric definitions are calculated for a single portfolio company in a specific fund

Auto-calculated company-level investment metrics include: 

  • Total capital raised = Sum of round sizes 
  • Follow on capital raised = Sum of round sizes after initial investment date 
  • Total invested = Sum of amount invested across all rounds 
  • FMV = Sum of most recent FMV values  
  • Realized FMV = Sum of amount exited 
  • Unrealized FMV = FMV - realized FMV 
  • Ownership % = Sum of shares purchased / total shares outstanding from latest round 
  • Total gain/loss = Realized gain/loss + unrealized gain/loss
  • Realized gain/loss = Realized FMV - total amount invested in investments exited
  • Unrealized gain/loss = Unrealized FMV - total amount invested in investments not exited
  • IRR = computed using total amount invested (outflows), exits and unrealized FMVs (inflows)
