Risk‐Adjusting the Returns to Venture Capital

Abstract: This appendix presents a number of supporting results, extensions, and robustness checks to supplement the analysis in the main paper. Section A provides a detailed derivation of the results for the log-normal model referred to in the introduction of the main paper. Section B discusses the relationship between our method and tests with linearized versions of SDFs that are common in the literature. Section C conducts Monte Carlo experiments to study the size of the tests we use to evaluate VC fund and start-up … Show more

“…The primary contribution of this paper is the introduction of a methodology based on Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to estimate a time series of PE returns using cash flows accruing to limited partners and factor returns from public capital markets. The identification strategy of this methodology is similar to that of Cochrane (2005), Korteweg and Sorensen (2010), Driessen, Lin, and Phalippou (2012), Franzoni, Nowak, and Phalippou (2012), and Korteweg and Nagel (2016). Our contribution with respect to prior research is that, in addition to estimating factor loadings and αs, we are able to construct a quarterly time series of returns that is useful for understanding the intertemporal behavior of the asset class.…”

“…Recent work byKorteweg and Nagel (2016) explores the relation between PMEs and discount rates. The problem of correlated forward-looking discount rates and cash flows is also considered byBrennan (1997) andAng and Liu (2004).…”

“…Of such models, a popular single‐factor model is the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) ( e.g ., see Sharpe, ) and, among the multifactor models, there are three‐factor models ( e.g ., see Fama and French, ) as well as models that include a fourth factor: “momentum” ( e.g ., see Carhart, ) or liquidity ( e.g ., Pástor and Stambaugh, ). Moreover, because the evaluation of venture capital‐like payoffs is particularly challenging ( e.g ., infrequent and skewed payoffs covering varying time horizons), some form of a stochastic discount factor may be utilized; for example, see Korteweg and Nagel ().…”

“…This confidence interval for the small business equity beta is comparable to the range of market betas for publicly traded NYSE, Amex, or NASDAQ firms (see, e.g., Fama and French (1997)). In contrast, Korteweg and Nagel (2016) report that estimates of venture capital market betas in the literature are consistently above one (see their footnote 4). Furthermore, Korteweg (2019) provides an extensive list of private equity and venture capital market beta estimates reported in that literature.…”
