It's unfortunate that in the past history of this class of investment, the investment managers all come from the mutual fund world and have no idea what the heck they're doing when they step into the private equity or venture capital world.

They are certainly spreading out the series quite a bit. 8.7% is good but it would be nice if they could compare with indexes for return and volatility. I’ve been following the Easy Chair series.
