HarbourVest Global Private Equity Limited ("HVPE" or the "Company"), a
closed-end investment company, today announces its estimated Net Asset
Value ("NAV") at 31 December 2015.
HVPE provides a complete private equity solution for public investors,
managing the portfolio through four phases of the private equity cycle
to create value: Commitments, Investment, Growth, and Realisation.
Commitments
During December, HVPE committed an additional $132.0 million to U.S.
fund-of-funds HarbourVest X Buyout, bringing the total commitment to
$232.0 million. HVPE's existing HarbourVest fund commitments continued
to make new investments.
At 31 December 2015, the Investment Pipeline of future commitments was
$1.06 billion, a $102.2 million increase from 30 November 2015 based on
the new HarbourVest fund commitment, capital funded, and foreign
currency movement.
Investment
During December, HVPE invested $31.7 million in HarbourVest
fund-of-funds, direct co-investment funds, and a secondary fund.
Growth
At 31 December 2015, HVPE's estimated Net Asset Value (NAV) per share is
$16.93, a $0.13 per share increase from the 30 November 2015 estimate of
$16.80. This change was primarily driven by valuation uplifts and
positive foreign currency movement. Consistent with prior December month
ends, the entire portfolio reflects the investment manager's preliminary
estimate of year-end 2015 valuation changes. These were partially offset
by operating expenses.
Realisation
HVPE received $66.9 million in realisations from HarbourVest funds
during December (compared to $31.2 million in November). This was the
highest monthly total during the financial year. The largest sources of
realisations included direct co-investment fund HarbourVest 2007 Direct,
global secondary fund Dover VIII, and U.S. fund-of-funds HarbourVest VII
Venture. During the month, there were a total of 47 liquidity events
across HVPE's underlying portfolio, including 43 M&A transactions and
four IPOs.
Balance Sheet and Credit Facility
HVPE has no drawings on its credit facility. At 31 December 2015, HVPE's
cash ($219.1 million) and available credit ($500.0 million) total $719.1
million.
Inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index
On 21 December 2015, HVPE announced its inclusion as a constituent of
the FTSE 250 Index. The Company is now eligible for trading by
index-tracker funds which is likely to further boost its liquidity.
