The private2000 Index is a global benchmark tracking the performance of 2,000 unlisted private companies across 30 key markets, designed to reflect the structure and risk-return characteristics of the private equities market. . . .
A new SIPA Deep Dive podcast from privateMetrics, discusses the challenges and conflicts of interest arising from the recent surge in GP-led secondary transactions within private equity, where General Partners (GPs) act as both sellers and buyers of assets across different funds. . . .
The 2025 PE League Tables are out: GP ranking and rating are primarily based on their ability and tendency to generate alpha i.e., to outperform the market during the 2013-2023 period. . . .
This report uses a decade of private fund performance data in combination with the privateMetrics® market indices and benchmarks to compute the market outperformance of 600 buyout funds and their managers, as well as their ability to keep generating alpha. . . .
In this latest report, we provide updated 2025 Capital Market Assumptions for private equities and infrastructure utilising the infraMetrics® and privateMetrics® indices, including the infra300® and private2000® indices. . . .
We analyse the performance of 586 buyout funds in North America (2013 to 2023 vintages) and find that the performance of the upper mid-market and large segment was the most surprising. While many champion these segments as the higher alpha potential parts of the market, our analysis finds that they underperformed the small, lower middle market and mega cap space. . . .

"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.
SIPA organises weekly "Blitizinars", open online meetings to present and discuss new research and data in 15 minutes + Q&A. Efficient and useful. We also run longer webinars and seminars that address our data and methodologies in depth and provide current and future users of privateMetrics the insights they need to navigate private market benchmarking.
