  • Venture Capital Limited Partnership Agreements: Understanding Compensation Arrangements Kate Litvak†
    File: 07 Litvak Final Created on: 4/2/2009 2:10:00 PM Last Printed: 4/2/2009 2:13:00 PM Venture Capital Limited Partnership Agreements: Understanding Compensation Arrangements Kate Litvak† This Article uses a hand-collected dataset of venture capital partnership agreements to study venture capitalist (VC) compensation. Several new findings emerge. First, VC compen- sation consists of three elements, not two (management fee and carried interest), as common- ly believed. The third element is the value-of-distribution rules that specify when during the fund’s life VCs receive distributions. These rules often generate an interest-free loan to VCs from limited partners. A shift from the most popular distribution rule to the second-most popular rule can affect VC compensation as much as or more than common variations in management fee (from 2 percent to 2.5 percent of committed capital) or carried interest (from 20 percent to 25 percent of fund profit). Second, VC compensation is often more com- plex and manipulable than it could have been. However, more complex management-fee provisions predict lower total compensation; thus, complexity is not used to camouflage high pay. Third, common proxies for VC quality predict higher levels of the more transparent forms of VC compensation (carried interest and management fee) but do not predict the levels of opaque compensation (interest-free loan, as determined by distribution rules). Fourth, long-term VC performance predicts fund size (which in turn predicts VC pay, con- trolling for fund size), but recent performance does not predict changes in fund size. Finally, VC compensation is less performance-based than commonly believed: for vintage years between 1986 and 1997 (most recent years for fully liquidated funds), about half of total VC compensation comes from the nonrisky management fee.

Abstract Venture Capital Communities While it is well-known that syndication is extensively used in venture capital (VC) financing, less is known about the composition of VC syndicates. We present new evidence on this issue. While VC firms have a large pool of syndicate partners to choose from, they tend to draw from smaller groups of partners that we call VC \communities." We implement new techniques to uncover these groups and use them to understand preferences driving syndicate partner selection. We find a complex pattern in which preferences for dissimilar partners to extend influence coexist with preferences for similarity in terms of functional style on dimensions of industry, stage, and geographic specialization.

  • The Political and Economic Implications of Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment Decisions
    Chazen Society Fellow Interest Paper The Political and Economic Implications of Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment Decisions JEREMY BROWN MBA ’09 Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) have been thrown into the media spotlight recently, with calls for the nationally controlled investment vehicles to accept or adopt some level of regulation to govern their actions and investment decisions. This paper attempts to apply general ideas from the world of asset management to demonstrate a model in which SWFs can generate excess economic returns while minimizing the political risk that is inherent in a nation-state controlling and managing an investment fund. History and Background of SWFs The difficulty in analyzing SWFs in any coherent review begins with the difficulty of determining a simple definition of a SWF. A February 2008 study conducted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lists eight separate definitions, which are further distinguished by five different objectives. For the purposes of this review, however, the focus is on two definitions that are broader than those in the IMF report. These come from the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute and the United States Department of the Treasury. The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, an impartial organization established to study fund effects on global economics, defines a sovereign wealth fund as follows: A Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) is a state-owned investment fund composed of financial assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or other financial instruments funded by foreign exchange assets. SWFs can be structured as a fund or as a reserve investment corporation. Some funds also invest indirectly in domestic state owned enterprises.1 1 Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute, “About Sovereign Wealth Funds,” Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute Inc., http://www.swfinstitute.org/swf.php.
