New Leaf Funds
NLV-I has capital commitments of $310 million, and the Fund Managers began investing in mid-2005. The fund completed its new investment period in early 2008 with a portfolio of 22 companies. NLV-I has fully realized 13 investments, and there are nine active investments in companies and contingent value rights (CVRs) from three of the realized investments remaining in the fund. NLV-I is a relatively young fund, with the majority of the cost basis still at work, and to date has generated a gross realized IRR of 23%, and a gross total IRR of 19%. NLV-I has a net total multiple of 1.76x and a net IRR of 12.1%. NLV-I has a distributed to paid-in-capital ratio of 0.51x, and the Fund Managers believe the fund has significant future returns potential from the remaining active investments in the portfolio as well as from potential payments from CVRs on three realized investments. NLV-I is in the top quartile of funds tracked by Cambridge Associates for U.S. healthcare venture capital in the 2005 vintage year.
NLV-II has capital commitments of $450 million, and the Fund Managers began investing in 2008. The fund will complete its new investment period by mid-2014. NLV-II currently has a portfolio consisting of 35 companies. NLV-II has realized or partially realized 13 investments, and there are 22 other active investments and a small public portfolio remaining in the fund. NLV-II is still an immature fund in terms of level of realizations, and to date has generated a gross realized IRR of 34%, and a gross total IRR of 30%. NLV-II has a net total multiple of 1.44x and a net IRR of 16.4%. NLV-II has a distributed to paid-in-capital ratio of 0.50x, and the Fund Managers believe the fund has significant future returns potential from the remaining active investments in the portfolio. The Fund Managers believe that NLV-II has unusually positive liquidity characteristics for a life sciences focused venture capital fund of its age, with just over 65% of the fund’s current carrying value in the form of public securities (as of March 31, 2014). NLV-II’s current performance places the fund in the top quartile of funds tracked by Cambridge Associates for U.S. venture capital in the 2008 vintage year.
Additionally, over the investment period of NLV-I, the net annual IRR is outperforming relevant public market indices when compared on a public market equivalent basis (PME+). NLV-II’s net annual IRR shows encouraging results thus far for a relatively immature fund18. The range of outperformance for each of these portfolios versus the S&P 500, S&P Healthcare, NASDAQ Composite, and the Russell 3000 through March 31, 2014 is the following:
