New Fund IRR calculation and prediction

  1. In the real world, how do prospective PE firms model IRR projections? For the pitch deck, is it common to sensitize and demonstrate several possible outcomes, e.g. expected, over-, and underperforming? 2. If a fund invests in different asset classes and/or different geographies (each with its own projected IRR) how do you arrive at an estimated overall IRR for the prospective fund? Do analysts weight the different IRRs and assess correlation, employing CAPM, MPT or other statistical tools?
