Short-term venture capital investments improved, while longer-term investments continued to suffer for the period ending Dec. 31, according to new figures from Cambridge Associates and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).
The quarterly and one-year returns of 3.3 and 3.0 percent were higher than returns from both the previous quarter and from one year ago as the venture-backed exit market began to shows signs of improvement at the end of 2009. Five and 10-year returns deteriorated with the 10 year horizon falling into negative territory. The longer term horizons of 15 and 20 years showed mild improvement and continued to outperform public market indices.
