Understanding investment metrics and how they're calculated in Visible

Written by Matt Preuss

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 investment transactions

  • 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 transactions

  • Follow-on capital deployed = Sum of amount invested 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 = Count 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

  • DPI (Distribution to Paid-in Capital) = Distributions / total capital called

  • RVPI (Residual Value to Paid in) = Unrealized FMVs at period-end + cash balance at period-end - accrued carried interest at period-end / total capital called

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

  • Gross IRR = Computed using XIRR function with the following inputs:

    • Negative cashflows: amounts invested across all companies

    • Positive cashflows: exits, unrealized company FMVs at period-end

  • Net IRR = Computed using XIRR function with the following inputs:

    • Negative cashflows: capital calls, accrued carried interest at period-end

    • Positive cashflows: distributions, unrealized company FMVs at period-end, cash balance at period-end

  • 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

  • Average Holding Period = Exit date - initial Investment Date

  • Number of Investment Rounds = Count of participating investment rounds

  • Active Quarters (Rounded to a single decimal) = Today - fund formation date

  • Fund Size = Manual input of fund size when first creating a fund

  • Total Number of Shares = Sum of shares owned by a Fund across all companies and transactions


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 investment transactions

  • 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 XIRR function with the following inputs:

    • Negative cashflows: amounts invested

    • Positive cashflows: exits, unrealized FMVs

  • Holding Period = Today - initial investment date



Company-level investment property definitions

Company-Level investment properties are shown for a single portfolio company in a specific fund.


Company-level investment properties include:

  • Entry level ownership = Ownership % at the initial investment date

  • Entry pre-money valuation = Pre-money valuation at the initial investment date

  • Total ownership = Sum of the total number of shares owned across funds / sum of total number shares outstanding from the latest round

  • Total capital raised = Sum of total round size across all rounds
