Edison issues research review on HarbourVest Global Private
Equity
HarbourVest Global Private Equity (HVPE) takes a fund-of-funds
approach to investing in private equity, aiming to achieve capital
growth over the long term from a diversified portfolio (almost
7,000 underlying operating companies), accessed mainly through
funds managed by HarbourVest. Since launch in 2007 it has achieved
its aim of excess annualised returns of 5% compared with the total
return on global equities (measured by the MSCI All Country World
index) and has a strong track record over the medium to long term
compared with peers that take a similar approach. Following a move
to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, HVPE is now one of
only three listed private equity funds in the FTSE 250 index.
At 8 June HVPE's shares were trading at a 22.4% discount to the
estimated sterling NAV at 30 April. This is close to the average
discount over one and three years and narrower than the five-year
average. Like most private equity funds, HVPE's discount has been
on a narrowing trend since the post-financial crisis widening, and
reached a 12-month low of 15.4% in August 2015, shortly before the
move to the main market. Index inclusion should help the discount
to continue narrowing, although a climate of risk-aversion has
caused short-term discount volatility.
