 Short-term US venture capital performance showed signs of fluctuation at the close of the first quarter of 2005 with a decline in the one and five-year investment horizons and an improvement in the three-year horizon, according to Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Association.
The ten and 20-year horizon returns remained constant for venture capital for the period ending 31 March 2005 at 25.4 per cent and 15.6 per cent respectively. One-year returns were 3.6 per cent, while three and five-year returns were minus 1.4 per cent and minus 6.3 per cent respectively.
Mark Heesen, president of the National Venture Capital Association, said, 'The short-term venture capital return numbers are going to swing back and forth quarter to quarter as they can be affected positively or negatively by individual exits in a condensed time period.'
'Investors in venture capital focus on the long-term performance, which has remained steady and consistently outperforms the public markets,' Heesen continued.
One-year buy-out returns were 19.8 per cent, while ten and 20-year returns were 8.7 per cent and 13.0 per cent respectively.
