Nasdaq has launched the Nasdaq Private Capital Indexes, a set of benchmarks designed to provide transparency and vigor to private markets. Designed to help institutional investors and consultants benchmark performance, analyze exposures and navigate private capital markets, the indexes bring consistent measurement to segments that have historically lacked reliable, objective standards, the market technology company said.
The index suite marks the next phase for Nasdaq Private Capital Solutions, providing high-quality data and analytics for the complex private markets, Nasdaq said Tuesday. It unifies several Nasdaq products and services.
"Private markets are at a pivotal moment, growing rapidly in both importance and complexity. Yet the ecosystem remains highly fragmented, with data trapped in silos, inconsistent benchmarks, and limited interoperability," Oliver Albers, Nasdaq executive vice president and chief product officer, capital access platforms, said in a statement. "The Nasdaq Private Capital Indexes change that."
The indexes seek to provide objective rules-based benchmarks that can better inform asset allocation and comparative performance, enhance risk and return reporting capabilities, and ease data management and system integration, Nasdaq said.
"As allocations to private markets grow, institutions increasingly expect greater transparency, data, and stronger operational infrastructure to support their investment processes," Albers said. "Private Capital Solutions reflects Nasdaq's long‑term commitment to helping build that foundation, giving institutions the tools they need to make better decisions today while preparing the industry for what comes next."
