(1)The aggregate performance of the AV venture funds is not necessarily representative of the performance of any particular AV venture fund or the experiences of any individual AV investor. All investment involves risk, including risk of loss. Not all venture capital investments will be successful. Past performance is not necessarily reflective of future results, and achievement of investment objectives, including preservation of principal, cannot be guaranteed. (2) IRR for AV Funds includes Uninvested Cash, Unrealized Investments, and Amounts Distributed to Investors. IRR for AV Funds is net of all management fees and incentive allocations payable to AV, including incentive allocations accrued due to unrealized gains on investments held by AV Funds.  Incentive allocations actually paid from unrealized gains may differ in the future due to possible changes in valuation prior to liquidation.  For additional information, please see here. The IRR shown for Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 indices are gross of fees because indices are not managed investments. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
