Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the asset class and time horizon. In venture capital, a 3x multiplier over 5-7 years is often considered a good target. For safer investments like bonds, multipliers are lower but more predictable.
No, MOIC (Multiple on Invested Capital) does not account for the time value of money. To account for time, you should use IRR (Internal Rate of Return).
A 1x multiplier means you broke even. You got back exactly what you invested, with no profit and no loss (0% ROI).
Yes, if the multiplier is less than 1x (e.g., 0.8x), it means you lost money on the investment.
