June 2005 Valuation Guidelines Survey Results

In June 2005 the Center completed a survey of private equity general partners throughout the US regarding the adoption and implementation of valuation guidelines. Respondents to the Tuck survey represented a broad cross section of GPs with diversity in investment style, fund size, and number of funds under management. Of the 102 respondents nearly 70% were VCs and 25% were buyout funds. This survey followed up on a similar survey by the Center in 2003.

The Hanover Inn

Set among the rolling hills of a classic New England college town, the Hanover Inn's hospitality has been a tradition for more than two centuries. Each guest room is individually decorated in a Colonial motif, with a private bath, cable TV, and air conditioning-and-special touches to help you feel pampered. The scenic countryside surrounding Hanover provides a wealth of recreational opportunities, whatever the season. Championship golf courses, major ski areas, an abundance of tennis courts, clear rivers and lakes-all only minutes away from the Hanover Inn. Hanover Inn guests enjoy the use of many of Dartmouth College's athletic facilities.
