MSCI: Launches Two New Indices to Expand Private Asset Solutions.

Index compilation company MSCI announced the launch of two MSCI Global Risk Venture Capital Backed Private Company Indexes to help investors gain clearer and more transparent insights into the performance of global private assets. These indexes are designed to assist investors and wealth management institutions in allocating, analyzing, and evaluating the rapidly growing venture capital asset class. Jana Haines, head of MSCI indexes, said, "As investor interest in the private market grows, high-quality data, as well as a unified and independent measurement of the performance of non-listed companies and private equity funds, are crucial to the entire investment ecosystem. The launch of the MSCI Global Risk Venture Capital Backed Private Company Index is part of MSCI's ongoing expansion of solutions, aimed at helping investors assess the performance of non-listed companies more clearly and confidently, identify investment opportunities, and integrate private equity, private debt, and physical assets into their portfolios."
