DPI
Distributions to Paid In. Total cash actually distributed to investors divided by the total capital they paid in. It is the measure of realized, in hand money and the most trusted return metric, because it reflects cash you can actually spend.
Example
A 1.2x DPI means investors have received back 1.2 times the capital they contributed.
