Notes and Assumptions

  • The amount for Current AUM is “AUM across all funds”
  • Revenue Generated (USD) metric is “Aggregated Revenue Generated by Portfolio (USD)” in the Fund investments.
  • When reporting revenue and using USD – we are likely missing out on a decent amount of growth due to FX.
