"The only benchmarks to compare funds with private asset markets."
SIPA market indices and benchmarks measure the risk and performance of private asset markets that are much larger than the holding of private equity and infrastructure funds. they allow for a genuine comparison of fund and manager performance against the a relevant, transparent and up-to-date benchmark.
Understand the sources of performance and alpha
When used in combination with the Direct Alpha method, the privateMetrics® benchmarks clearly discriminate between those private funds that can generate positive alpha and those that do not.
Measure the risk and the performance of private markets
privateMetrics® market indices and benchmarks are designed to capture the latest level of market prices using an advanced, AI-driven asset pricing model, providing high frequency, robust risk and performance data.
Instead of comparing funds and managers with each other in (often) weak peer groups, infraMetrics is the surest way to decide which funds and which GPs are the best at creating private asset value.
Install the privateMetrics® Add-in from Microsoft AppSource (directly from MSExcel) and access all the privateMetrics functionalities including custom benchmarks, customised comparables, fund alpha calculation, index catalogue, TICCS and PECCS taxonomies etc. Some features require a subscription.
Our Excel Add-in is a powerful way to access privateMetrics data.

Our Research
R&D of the EDHEC Infrastructure & Private Asset Research Institute
Since 2016, the EDHEC Infrastructure & Private Assets Research Institute has been producing research on private asset pricing, risk management, credit risk and climate risk measurement. While some of this research has now been industrialised and is distributed by our corporate arm, Scientific Infra & Private Assets, we continue to develop new applied research in the field of investment and private markets, with a focus on machine learning and language processing.
We regularly run webinars and seminars that address our data and methodologies in depth and provide current and future users of privateMetrics with the insights they need to navigate private market benchmarking. We also participate in leading industry conferences and events to engage with the wider private markets community.

Event Details
Scientific Infra & Private Assets (SIPA) will be participating in a panel discussion at the Forum des Investisseurs Institutionnels in Lausanne on Wednesday 6 May, 2026 (details to follow).
The Forum of Institutional Investors (FII) is a crossroads of ideas and expertise for key players in institutional asset management. This initiative was born from a collaboration among 14 experienced asset managers, in partnership with Le Temps. Its goal is to offer a unique perspective on the issues shaping the institutional asset management sector.
For this second edition, the FII is highlighting an essential theme: private markets as a tool in support of pension provision. As private markets are emerging as attractive avenues for pension funds, this forum offers a golden opportunity to explore the potential of unlisted investments and to understand their risks:
Assessing conventional strategies: what are the limits of traditional allocations?
Understanding the risks: what pitfalls do private markets present?
Defining a clear strategy: what long-term performance can be expected?
The FII is aimed exclusively at institutional investors in French-speaking Switzerland: pension funds, collective foundations, municipalities, companies, and specialized consultants.
Please note that this event is by invitation only and will be held in French.
