Capital deployed

How it is calculated

Deployment rate = capital deployed ÷ investable capital

Use investable capital rather than headline fund size when fees and expenses are excluded from the investment budget.

What this tells you

Read the result in context

Deployment rate shows how much of the investable pool has been committed to portfolio companies. It does not by itself show deployment speed, investment quality or follow-on obligations.

Frequently asked questions

Why use investable capital instead of fund size?

Fund size can include capital expected to pay fees and expenses, which may not be available for investments.

Can deployed capital exceed investable capital?

Not in this simple model. If recycling or leverage changes available capital, adjust the investable-capital denominator.

Does this include committed but unfunded deals?

Only if you include them in the deployed-capital input; use one definition consistently.
