34 Numbers for Germany, the UK and France are taken from the Yearbooks (2000 and 2002) of the European
Venture Capital Association (EVCA) and those from the US from the Yearbook (2002) of the National Venture
Capital Association (NVCA).
35 The NVCA only gives figures for the capital under management of VC funds. The capital under management is
defined as the accumulated VC managed by funds net the VC of funds, which have been liquidated or matured at
the end of their life cycle (after eight years). Capital under management therefore differs from the European
definition of the VC portfolio.
