Private Equity
TVPI
Total Value to Paid-In. The total value a fund has created, realized plus unrealized, divided by the capital LPs have contributed.
Definition
A multiple-of-money metric that captures both distributions returned to LPs and the residual fair value of remaining portfolio holdings. TVPI is the headline number LPs use to compare funds across vintages.
