The same techniques that we’ve pioneered for understanding venture capital are also useful for measuring the true risk and return of other limited partner-type investments. 

• Buyouts   
• Secondaries
• Distressed Debt
• Oil and Gas
• Real Estate
• International Private Equity
• Hedge Funds

For all of the above assets, reported values are a mix of current and stale values.  Mixing current and stale prices smooths reported returns. Our econometric tools essentially un-smooth your returns, and recover the risk metrics (beta, alpha, sigma) particular to your investments to give you a more accurate picture of how these assets fit into your broader portfolio.

We can do the analysis for you and deliver a report, or you will soon be able to do it yourself using the Sand Hill Portfolio Analyst web tool. With this interactive tool you will be able to measure risk for your portfolio, both absolutely and relative to either the Sand Hill Index of Venture, the DJ Wilshire 5000 or the S&P 500.  You can also compare your portfolio’s performance relative to public markets to that of all venture capital, in the form of the Sand Hill Index, for any span of time, to gain a deeper understanding of how these markets relate to one another.
