British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association

The British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association is a lobbying organisation founded in 1983 for the private equity and venture capital industry in the UK. It has more than 500 firms, including over 230 private equity and venture capital houses, as well as institutional investors, professional advisers, service providers and international associations as members.

Tim Hames is the Director General.[1] Robert Lucas is chair.

It produces reports on, among other topics, the relative rate of return on UK private equity and venture capital funds[2] and organises conferences. Sandra Robertson, chief executive of the Oxford Endowment Fund, used a BCVA conference in 2012 to criticise private equity funds’ documents for containing “pages and pages of legal jargon”.[3]
