About this data
Holdings as this LP reports them, fund by fund. Amounts are its commitment to each fund. Fund performance it reports is on each firm’s page. As of December 31, 2025. Source: Colorado PERA Private Equity Holdings. Funds are linked to a manager by name; a match can be wrong, and the original filing is the record. How Hottub reads its sources.
The IRR is the column PERA heads "Colorado PERA's Since Inception IRR"; PERA does not label it net or gross. PERA states that the limited partnership recordkeeping, including the IRR, is maintained internally by PERA for each limited partnership, that its IRR calculation method may differ from the methods used by the general partners or other limited partners, and that none of the information has been reviewed or approved by the general partners. 5 partnerships are marked "NM" (not meaningful) and have no IRR. PERA lists each partnership's vintage year, capital committed ("original primary commitments"), capital contributed and capital distributed in whole dollars, and no fair value or multiple, so total value and TVPI are blank (PERA says disclosure for this asset class is limited to this information, as required by Colorado Revised Statute § 24-51-213(3)); DPI = capital distributed / capital contributed is computed, and is blank for the 5 partnerships whose capital distributed is printed as a negative amount. 41 partnerships carry PERA's footnote "Assets transferred subsequent to 2010 merger of Denver Public Schools Retirement System" and are listed under vintage year 2010, the year of the merger; their vintage is left blank. All 425 rows of PERA's Private Equity list are included, liquidated partnerships among them, as PERA classifies them (buyout, growth, venture, secondaries, co-investments and some credit, mezzanine and energy partnerships); its separate Alternatives, Hedge Funds and Real Estate lists are not imported.
