Endeavour Capital Performance Lags Peers

Endeavour Capital's recent funds (V, VI, and VII) have underperformed peers in quartile rankings and capital distribution (DPI) as of 2017-2018. The firm's returns are heavily dependent on internal valuations, with specific portfolio companies like Aladdin Bail Bonds and ZOOM+Care facing regulatory and insolvency challenges.

• Endeavour Capital's most recent funds—Fund V (2008), Fund VI (2011), and Fund VII (2014)—underperformed relative to peers, ranking in the 3rd or 4th quartiles as of the end of the fourth quarter 2017.
• As of the first quarter 2018, Funds V, VI, and VII lagged the Cambridge Associates median regarding Distributions to Paid-in Capital (DPI), indicating a slower return of capital to investors compared to peers.
• Specific portfolio companies held by Fund VI face significant risks: Aladdin Bail Bonds/Seaview Insurance saw annual premium values drop by 26% since 2017 amid a California ban on for-profit bail, and ZOOM+Care's affiliated health plan was placed into receivership in 2017 due to cash shortfalls and near-insolvency.
