Note: As at 31 January 2011The diversification analysis is based on the fair value of the underlying investments. Strategy, vintage, and geography diversification are based on the net asset value of partnership investments within HVPE’s fund-of-funds and company investments within HVPE’s direct funds. Industry diversification is based on the reported value of the underlying company investments. Some of the funds held in HVPE have not been fully invested. The composition of investments by strategy, vintage, industry, and geography may change as additional investments are made and existing investments are realised. Large buyout includes funds of more than $7 billion in size, medium buyout includes those between $1 billion and $7 billion in size, and small buyout includes those less than $1 billion in size. Direct investments in operating companies are categorised by deal size.
