由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Sensitivity analysis is a powerful tool for evaluating the impact of different scenarios on the performance and value of a venture capital (VC) portfolio. It can help you identify the key drivers, risks, and opportunities of your investments, as well as communicate your assumptions and expectations to your stakeholders. In this article, we will explain what sensitivity analysis is, how to perform it, and how to present it to your VC partners, investors, and entrepreneurs.

1 What is sensitivity analysis?

Sensitivity analysis is a method of testing how sensitive the outcome of a model or a calculation is to changes in the input variables or parameters. For example, you can use sensitivity analysis to estimate how much the return on investment (ROI) of a VC portfolio would change if the revenue growth, profit margin, or exit valuation of one or more portfolio companies vary. Sensitivity analysis can help you assess the robustness, reliability, and uncertainty of your results, as well as identify the most critical factors that affect your portfolio performance.

2 How to perform sensitivity analysis?

There are different ways to perform sensitivity analysis, depending on the complexity and purpose of your model. One common approach is to use a spreadsheet software, such as Excel, to create a base case scenario that reflects your best estimate of the input variables and the outcome. Then, you can create alternative scenarios by changing one or more input variables, either by a fixed amount or by a percentage, and compare the resulting outcomes with the base case. You can also use formulas, functions, or tools, such as data tables, scenarios, or goal seek, to automate the process and generate multiple scenarios quickly and easily.

1. In the case of Silicon Valley Bank, input variables could include loan portfolio performance, interest rates, economic indicators that affect the bank's financial health. 2. Determine how loan portfolio performance could vary depending on different levels of default rates or changes in the overall economy. 3. Run the model to see how the outcomes change in response to different buyout scenarios. 4. The significant increase in default rates would have a major impact on the bank's profitability, while a slight increase in interest rates would have a relatively small effect. 5. Develop a plan that will involve FDIC adjusting lending policies, reevaluating risk management strategies to improve the bank's overall stability.

3 How to present sensitivity analysis?

Presenting sensitivity analysis results depends on the audience and the objective. It is important to emphasize the main findings, insights, and implications of the analysis, as well as explain the assumptions and limitations of the model. Visualizing and communicating results can be done using charts, tables, graphs, or dashboards. For example, one-way sensitivity analysis can be displayed with a line chart or bar chart to show how the outcome changes when one input variable changes while holding others constant. Two-way sensitivity analysis can use a data table or heat map to illustrate the combination of input variables and outcomes. Additionally, scenario analysis reveals how the outcome changes when several input variables change together based on predefined scenarios such as best case, worst case, or base case by using a scenario summary or scenario pivot table.

Sensitivity analysis is a useful tool for VC professionals seeking to assess and communicate portfolio performance and risk management to stakeholders such as partners, investors, and entrepreneurs. To tailor the message and presentation to their needs, you should understand your audience, use clear and concise language, be honest and transparent about assumptions and limitations, use visuals and stories to engage your audience, and invite feedback.

Sensitivity analysis is like a stress test and showcases performance in light of risks taken against a economic backdrop and should be interpreted as such and not a dooms day stress test
