The internal rate of return (IRR) has two major flaws, says Massimiliano Saccone, CFA: It doesn't tell when the average return starts to be earned or for how long. So what's the solution? @mxsk1 @XTALStrategies @Enterprising archives #privateequity https://t.co/eUgTf3LlRk

Thanks @preston_mcswain for drawing attention to the #DARC. Not simpler. But accurate, useful, unbiased, comparable. This is what @XTALStrategies has been aiming at. Performance #transparency creates trust advantages for the #privatemarkets industry.
