Fund performance analytics

Providing insights into performance, risk and strategy using smart data to enhance fundraising and fund selection effectiveness.

MJ Hudson Fund Performance Analytics helps managers and investors go beyond IRR. Through data analytics,
we deconstruct value creation, to identify the true drivers of GP's track record, including demonstrating:

SKILL-DRIVEN RETURNS
independent of other performance factors like sector or geographic focus, economic cycles, size, and allowing them to quantify the genuine alpha;

STRATEGIC DISTINCTIVENESS
by measuring the extent of specialist versus mainstream exposure, help determine what is “unique” with empirically validated data that can be tracked over time;

PEER DIFFERENTIATION
isolating the core characteristics that define a GP’s deal DNA to identify and score relative performance against a truly relevant competitor set; and

TRACK RECORD REPEATABILITY
providing an objective indicator of the likelihood that past performance really could be an indicator of future results.

Helping investors achieve a better understanding of the value drivers behind their private equity investments and, subsequently, to make better investment decisions.

Access to a library of c.500 Private Equity GP profiles where MJ Hudson using publicly available data runs the PERACS analysis, which are updated on a quarterly basis. The GP profiles help investors evaluate and better understand the risk and return profiles of their existing private equity portfolio and optimise their due diligence process with use of our quantitative analysis and ability to compare metrics and run competitive positioning analysis.

Alongside this MJ Hudson has developed a new tool for Limited Partners that can be used on their own internal systems, to calculate two key MJ Hudson PERACS metrics: performance measurement and the risk profile.
The key metrics included in the MJ Hudson PERACS Calculator for Limited Partners includes performance measurement and the risk profile:

• performance (MJ Hudson PERACS Alpha and MJ Hudson PERACS rate of return)
  • Public-Market Equivalent (PME) benchmarking perspective
  • enhanced performance measurement, avoiding issues with IRR methodology
  • comparison to benchmarks
• risk profile (MJ Hudson PERACS risk curve)
  • assessment of portfolio risk based on historical return distribution across the portfolio
  • graphical representation based on intuitive curve inspired by “Lorenz Curve”
  • comparison to benchmarks
