All numbers as of March 31st, 2022. Disclosure: Past performance does not guarantee future performance. Private investments are high risk investments that may result in loss of principal.
IRR: The net IRR is the annualized return of Fund II applying a 2% management fee rate and 20% carried interest and net of actual fund expenses.
MoIC = (Unrealized Position Value + Realized Position Value) / Invested Capital
Disclaimer: These positions are fairly valued by the Investment Manager and have the discretion to determine the values. EQUIAM uses timely market data to value its portfolio. When valuing a particular portfolio position, we use the most recent: (1) closed secondary transaction, (2) preferred share price of a verified venture financing round, or (3) a recent publicly available mutual fund mark. If excessive time has passed (i.e., >12 months) since a market event has occurred, we will turn to traditional valuation techniques such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis or public company valuation.

Leadership Spotlight
EQUIAM was founded on the belief that a broader group of investors should be able to access the growth super-cycle brought about by converging and mutually amplifying technologies. Humans are re-engineering the world with disruptive innovation, yet traditional venture capital investing methodology hasn’t evolved in 70 years.
