Foreign exchange rates fluctuated significantly during this period, as in many emerging markets. This article investigates the currency impact on Brazilian PE/VC deal performance during this period. Our main findings are that in the long run, currency risk is irrelevant, but it is substantial at the deal level and, depending on the vintage, also at the fund level. Funds raised in the beginning of a devaluation cycle have their performances significantly deteriorated by currency movements, and the opposite is true for funds raised in the beginning of a currency appreciation cycle. Although there is diversification across deals, depending on the vintage, some funds may not be able to diversify across cycles, and foreign exchange risk may affect funds’ performance and fees and may distort general partners’ track records.p. 45-51DigitalInglêsPrivate equityemergingportfolio constructionstatistical methodsjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.3905/jpe.2017.20.3.045320
