S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) has officially announced an expansion in their private market sector offerings.

With the global surge in interest towards private markets, S&P DJI aims to address the growing demand for effective benchmarks that represent this asset class accurately.

The Rise of Private Markets

The private equity market is seeing a transformative period, characterized by increased participation from varied investors. S&P DJI recognizes that the growing interest necessitates a shift towards providing reliable data and benchmarks.

With the introduction of the SP Private Equity 50 Indices, S&P DJI aims to provide a comprehensive representation of institutional private equity portfolios. The indices will track the performance of the largest private equity funds available, giving market participants a clearer view into some of the top funds within North America and Europe. This aligns with S&P's established reputation in developing respected benchmarks in public markets, such as the iconic S&P 500 index.

The SP Private Equity 50 Indices

The SP Private Equity 50 Indices are designed to cater to investors looking for a transparent view of the private equity landscape. The indices include:

• - SP Private Equity 50 2023 (Reserve - SP 500) Index

Edward Talmor-Gera, Founder and CEO of NewVest, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "Private markets are too important to remain opaque. We are privileged to partner with S&P DJI on this landmark project that redefines private equity as being both transparent and accountable." This partnership aims to facilitate responsible democratization of access for investors, especially as movements like the U.S. initiative for 401(k) investments gather momentum.
