A PE fund manager executes a 'dividend recapitalization' by adding $100M of debt to a portfolio company and using the proceeds to pay a dividend.

What is the primary impact on the fund's performance multiples?

  1. The RVPI increases because the residual value is enhanced by the additional leverage sitting on the balance sheet.
  2. The IRR decreases because the added interest expense permanently reduces the company's reported net income.
  3. The TVPI multiple increases because the new debt is recorded as an asset on the fund's own books.
  4. The DPI multiple increases immediately while the IRR benefits from the accelerated timing of the cash flow.
