J-curve

The typical pattern of a private fund's returns: negative in early years as fees and costs precede gains, then rising as investments mature and are realised.

In practice

The depth and length of the J-curve depend on fees, pacing and use of credit facilities; subscription lines can flatten it.

In FUN/D

FUN/D plots cumulative net cash flows and IRR over time per fund and investor.
