An LP is calculating the Kaplan-Schoar Public Market Equivalent (PME) for a fund. The sum of discounted distributions is 1,200M and the sum of discounted contributions is 1,000M (all discounted by the public index returns).

What does the resulting PME of 1.20 indicate?

  1. The fund returned 20% of paid-in capital
  2. The PE fund outperformed the public index by 20%
  3. The fund achieved a 1.20x MoIC on total invested capital
  4. The fund's net IRR to limited partners equals roughly 12%
