What we do - Performance
Over the past eight years, the Octopus Ventures team has invested £26m into 30 companies and generated a realised return of 3.5x cash on cash (equivalent to 49% IRR). Across the entire portfolio (including those investments not yet realised), Octopus Ventures’ IRR is 20% (IPEVCG guidelines 31st December 2008).
What does IRR mean?
The IRR is the effective compounded annual rate of return of the portfolio of investee companies. The IRR takes into account each investment made and the period of time it is held for.
For instance, if you had invested £100 on 1 January 2004 and received £300 on 31 December 2008, the IRR would be 24.54%.
