How are your indices different from other data providers?
Answer
Our indices offer performance estimates free from biases found in other providers such as Preqin or Cambridge Associates. Some examples of how our indices are different from those in the market:
Are frequent: We produce monthly estimates.
Not contributed data: Our indices do not rely on contributed data that teems with conflicts of interest.
Not appraised or estimated valuations: Our indices are not based on appraisal or estimated values – we shadow price companies based on factor prices obtained from actual transactions in private markets.
No lags: Our indices incorporate the latest information in private markets rather than being lagged by 2 or more quarters from other vendors.
