Definition of 'Funds Under Management'
The BVCA's view is that for private equity and venture capital firms 'Funds Under Management' should be calculated by reference to the total value of investor commitments plus any undrawn committed capital (capital would include both capital and loans). It includes capital drawn down to be used for management fees/costs. It does not include capital contributed by the firm and amounts which were drawn-down and subsequently returned to investors.
