• Nasdaq has launched three new private capital indexes designed to enhance transparency and benchmarking within the private market sector.

• The new suite includes the Nasdaq Private Capital Index, the Nasdaq Private Capital Venture Capital Index, and the Nasdaq Private Capital Buyout Index.

• These benchmarks utilize eVestment data, essentially data reported by investors in the funds and some secondary market data.

• Investors can use these indexes to compare private market returns against public equity benchmarks more effectively.

• The launch expands Nasdaq's existing suite of private capital solutions aimed at modernizing investment workflows for alternative assets.

Knote: Ultimately, we need indexes to really get the Alts2Wealth movement into high gear. We need indexes to give advisors and allocators understanding on how to use alternatives, what the risk/reward is, and how they can be mixed into a public asset portfolio. We all say that people should not invest based on past performance, but everyone still does.
