HarbourVest Global Private Equity Limited ("HVPE" or the "Company"), a
closed-end investment company, today announces its estimated Net Asset
Value ("NAV") at 31 October 2016.
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 October, HVPE committed an additional $50.0 million to
HarbourVest 2016 Global Fund, increasing the commitment to $100.0
million. The Company's existing HarbourVest fund commitments continued
to make new investments.
HVPE's Investment Pipeline (unfunded commitments) of $1.21 billion
increased on a net basis by $30.3 million during October as a result of
the new HarbourVest fund commitment, capital funded, and foreign
currency movements.
Investment
During October, HVPE invested $17.4 million, primarily in one of
HarbourVest's global co-investment funds (to fund new investments and
follow-ons), but also across its international fund-of-funds and global
multi-strategy funds.
Growth
At 31 October 2016, HVPE's estimated NAV per share is $17.50 (GBP14.30),
a $0.20 decrease and GBP0.66 increase from the 30 September 2016
estimate of $17.70 (GBP13.64). This 1.1% decrease in US dollar terms
compares to the MSCI All Country World Index (USD) decrease of 1.8%
during October. The change resulted mainly from negative foreign
currency movement, decreasing valuations for publicly-traded holdings,
pending sales of certain underlying investments, and ongoing operating
expenses. The GBP/USD rate as of 31 October 2016 was 1.2242, while the
rate as of 30 September 2016 was 1.2972.
Realisation
HVPE received $12.0 million in realisations from HarbourVest funds
during October. The largest source of realisations was international
fund-of-funds HIPEP VI Partnership (sale of shares in Just-Eat (JE)).
During the month, there were a total of 36 liquidity events across
HVPE's underlying portfolio.
Balance Sheet and Credit Facility
HVPE has no drawings on its credit facility. At 31 October 2016, HVPE's
cash ($178.7 million) and available credit ($500.0 million) total $678.7
million.
