MSCI, a leading provider of market indices for investors, has launched its MSCI Private Capital indexes to help provided transparency across the global private markets landscape.
With growing investor interest in private markets, high quality data and consistent performance measurement of private capital funds and portfolios are important to providing clarity for investment decisions.
The MSCI Private Capital indexes intend to meet these investor needs, by introducing robust data and solutions across asset classes, according to a statement by the firm.
Henry Fernandez, chairman and CEO of MSCI, said: “Investors need tools that will help them cut through the complexity of private markets and take advantage of new investment opportunities. Our private capital indexes allow investors to gain clarity across their investments through high quality validated data and industry leading index construction.”
The indexes, constructed from a broad universe of private capital funds with over $11trn in capitalisation. Encompassing private equity, private credit, private real estate, private infrastructure, and private natural resources, these 130 indexes complement MSCI’s more than 250 existing real asset fund and property indexes providing investors with a view of global private markets and the full risk spectrum of private real asset investing.
Coupled with MSCI’s suite of equity and fixed-income indexes, these private capital indexes offer a multi-asset perspective for investors across their portfolios.
