  • Transparency Report 2013-14 V02.Indd
    RI TRANSPARENCY REPOR T 201 7 Motion Equity Partners An investor initiative in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and UN Global Compact About this report The PRI Reporting Framework is a key step in the journey towards building a common language and industry standard for reporting responsible investment (RI) activities. This RI Transparency Report is one of the key outputs of this Framework. Its primary objective is to enable signatory transparency on RI activities and facilitate dialogue between investors and their clients, beneficiaries and other stakeholders. A copy of this report will be publicly disclosed for all reporting signatories on the PRI website, ensuring accountability of the PRI Initiative and its signatories. This report is an export of the individual Signatory organisation’s response to the PRI during the 2017 reporting cycle. It includes their responses to mandatory indicators, as well as responses to voluntary indicators the signatory has agreed to make public. The information is presented exactly as it was reported. Where an indicator offers a response option that is multiple-choice, all options that were available to the signatory to select are presented in this report. Presenting the information exactly as reported is a result of signatory feedback which suggested the PRI not summarise the information. As a result, the reports can be extensive. However, to help easily locate information, there is a Principles index which highlights where the information can be found and summarises the indicators that signatories complete and disclose. Understanding the Principles Index The Principles Index summarises the response status for the individual indicators and modules and shows how these relate to the six Principles for Responsible Investment.

  • Annual Report and Accounts 2017 HVPE Annual Report and Accounts 2017 Accounts and Report Annual HVPE
    Annual Report and Accounts 2017 HVPE Annual Report and Accounts 2017 US Building Long-term Wealth by Investing in Private Companies Why Private Markets? Globally, the opportunity set in private companies greatly exceeds that available in the listed markets. The private equity industry has grown steadily in recent years but is still viewed by many investors as an alternative asset class. Historically, private equity has delivered strong returns, outperforming listed equity over the long-term1. Why HVPE? HarbourVest Global Private Equity (“HVPE”) is a London listed, FTSE 250 private equity investment company with assets of nearly $1.5bn. HVPE is managed by HarbourVest, an independent global private markets investment specialist with 35 years of experience2. In the five years ending 31 January 2017, HVPE has achieved a return on opening net assets of 61.7%, implying a compound annual growth rate of 10.1% in US dollar terms (equivalent to 15.2% in GBP). Why Now? A growing number of mainstream investment managers are beginning to focus on the opportunities available in private companies. Meanwhile, established specialist funds such as HVPE have been delivering strong returns for many years while the shares have been trading at a discount to the value of their assets. 1 The median US private equity fund returned 13.9% annually over the 20 years to 30 September 2016, compared to 7.9% for the S&P 500 on a total return basis. Source: Cambridge Associates through ThomsonOne. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. 2 HVPE (the “Company”) is Guernsey-incorporated and managed by HarbourVest Advisers L.P.
