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 September 30, 2025. Source: CTPF Private Equity Report: Manager Detail. 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.
"Net IRR", DPI and TVPI as printed in the "Manager Detail" table of the private equity report CTPF posts on its Fund Performance page, a report from its investment consultant. The table gives capital commitments, paid-in capital, distributed capital and net asset value in thousands of dollars, shown here in whole dollars; total value = distributed capital + net asset value is computed. 21 funds have "NM" in place of an IRR, shown as blank. For 46 funds (mostly fund-of-funds vehicles) the report gives a range of vintage years instead of one year; their vintage is left blank rather than reduced to a single year. All 101 funds in the table are included, as CTPF names and groups them (many names are abbreviated): 60 under "Fund of Funds Developed Manager Program" ($1,351.7 million committed); 5 under "Direct Developed Manager Program" ($113.5 million committed); 34 under "Emerging Manager Program" ($385.0 million committed); 2 under "Direct Emerging Markets Program" ($20.0 million committed). They add up to the report's "Total Private Equity" row ($1,870.1 million committed, $1,647.4 million paid in, $1,536.0 million distributed, $1,158.6 million net asset value), and each fund's printed % paid-in, DPI, RVPI and TVPI follow from its amounts. For Hispania II the report prints an RVPI one hundredth higher than its printed net asset value gives; the printed value is kept, and the funds' net asset values add up to $53 thousand less than the report's total. The PDF CTPF posts has no ordinary text layer (it was printed to PDF with re-encoded fonts), so the importer rebuilds the character table from the page headings; the amounts are verified by the arithmetic above, but letters in fund names are not independently verifiable and were compared with the PDF by eye for the September 30, 2025 report.
