CPPIB U.S.A. general partner Q1 2009 performance numbers
One of the key beneficiaries of a more stable economy may well be the buyout funds and their limited partners (that’s you and me in the case of the CPPIB). The lag in reporting means we are still looking at numbers that were produced during the trough (what we hope was the trough anyway). This review covers the high profile U.S. GPs that count the CPP Investment Board as a direct limited partner (as at March 2009).
Some of the more notable large moves between Q2 2008 and Q1 2009 are below (vintage year of the fund is in brackets). That’s barely 9 months of time, but the moves are noteworthy:
– Apollo Inv. Fund V (2002) reported a return drop from 252% to 97%
– Apollo VI (2005), with 105% drawn, saw it’s 26.4% positive return turn into a negative 36%
-Blackstone IV (2002)’s return fell from 171.6% to 95%; 104% drawn
-Blackstone V (2005)’s return fell from 7.7% to a loss of 28%; 81% drawn
– First Reserve XII has already put out 29% of their 2008-vintage year fund, and the carrying value is down 21% so far
– KKR Millenium Fund (2002)’s return dropped from 63.3% to 15%
– KKR 2006 is 73% drawn, and a positive 5% return is now showing up as a negative 27%
– MidOcean Partners’ #II (2005) fund has still not closed a single deal since they raised their capital 4 years ago, and they’ve only drawn the smallest amount of mgmt. fees
– Providence’s VI (2006) fund is now 51% drawn, but went from being flat to down 28%
– TPG Partners IV (2003)’s return dropped from +80.8% to +18.7%; 106% drawn
– TPG Partners V (2006) remains drawn at 82% of CPPIB’s US$500 million, and they went from being down 5.6% to down 35%; this fund is the one with the bad investment experience in WaMu
The figures that follow cover four categories: CPPIB’s commitment, paid-in-capital (which tells you how much of the fund is invested in deals and/or drawn to pay management fees), reported value, and reported value + distributions (which tells you what the notional simple return of the fund is against the paid-in-capital figure). That figure is based in large part on what the manager believes the portfolio is worth as at March 31, 2009, subject to GAAP fair value accounting. The year in the brackets reflects the year that the investment commitment was made by CPPIB. MM equals millions:

The better question to ask CPPIB is what the cumulative IRR on their private equity and other programs is? Is the allocation to this asset class actally generating long term profits, as its goal must surely be? How is does in any quarter or year is interesting, but we are losing site of the long term. If they are IRR negative, which woudln’t surprise me based on the timeframe where they massively scaled up the program, its not necessarily an unrecoverable problem, as the portfolio will need some further years to show its true complexion. But it would no doubt add fuel to the fire of what people have been paid, verses what has been achieved to date.
CPPIB should disclose asset class IRR on all of its illiquid investments. Lumping with the public markets completely eliminates the transparency of a strategic choice to devote large amounts of capital to private markets. All "equities" are not the same.
