PE Fund Perfоrmаnce Metrics (16 pоints) AlkenOx Cаpitаl Fund II is a sectоr-focused private equity fund investing exclusively in specialty industrial chemicals. The following information is provided about the fund’s terms and its four portfolio investments: Fund terms: Committed capital: $500 million Fund life: 7 years (vintage year 1; final liquidation at the end of year 7) Management fee: 2.0% of committed capital per year, charged at the beginning of each of years 1–7 (funded by a separate capital call when no distribution is available that period; otherwise netted off the gross distribution and not called separately) Carried interest: 80% to LPs / 20% to GPs, with a capital-first pooled waterfall (i.e., GPs receive carry only after LPs have received their full paid-in capital back) Distributions occur at the end of each year Portfolio: The fund makes four equity investments, one at the beginning of each of years 1–4. Equity check sizes vary by deal (see the per-company table below) and total $400 million of equity across the four investments; the rest of each deal’s capital structure is debt-financed. Each investment is held for 4 years and exits at the end of years 4, 5, 6, and 7 respectively. Crucially: each portfolio company sweeps all of its free cash flow into debt repayment during the holding period. There are no interim cash distributions back to the fund – the only cash inflow from each company is the equity proceeds at exit. The GP marks the equity stake in each company at the end of every year. The projected mark-to-market path for each portfolio company is shown below, in millions of USD. Each company’s entry mark (in bold) sits in the column corresponding to its investment date, recalling that end of year t = beginning of year t+1 (e.g., Co. B is invested at beg Y2 = end Y1). Subsequent values are end-of-year NAVs; the bold exit value is the cash equity proceeds. Investment beg Y1 end Y1 / beg Y2 end Y2 / beg Y3 end Y3 / beg Y4 end Y4 end Y5 end Y6 end y7 Co.

Make sure to provide a full audit trail (including intermediate tables and formulas). If you think that the input data is incomplete, make an assumption about the missing data based on your experience and clearly mark that in your solutions. Part (a) – Cash-flow timeline and waterfall (5 points) Construct the fund’s annual cash-flow timeline (capital calls and gross distributions). Then run the distribution waterfall to determine, for each year: (i) the LP’s share of the distribution; (ii) the GP’s carry; (iii) cumulative paid-in capital; and (iv) the LPs’ remaining capital balance at year-end. Part (b) – Fund IRRs (3 points) Compute: (i) the gross fund IRR; and (ii) the net LP IRR. Part (c) – PME vs. the S&P 500 (2 points) Compute the PME of the fund versus the S&P 500. Part (d) – PME vs. the Specialty Industrial Chemicals Index (2 points) Compute the PME of the fund versus the Specialty Industrial Chemicals Index. Part (e) – Interpretation (4 points) Based on your calculations, interpret the fund’s performance (based on IRRs, multiples, and the two PMEs). What do the investment metrics reveal about the GP’s skill vs. luck (overall market conditions)? Was this a good investment for the LPs?
