I assume you meant some premium to NAV. That'sd a good question. They have a larger number of private companies in the pipeline than in the past. They have had betweeen 15 and about 20 typically, and now have 25, if I understand the CC comments correctly (this is purely second had info as reported from the CC, but can easily be verified via the web site). More importantly, they now own a share of another incubator company ICG, which can be expected to spawn other IPOS/rights. Question is in a partial interest situation like ICG or TL ventures, it's difficult to allocate ownership and value (they don't always give it). So it's a bit of a crapshoot trying to evaluate the NAV of pirvate companies -- all that on top of the typical issues of trying to value a private company anyway.
