Join us on 17 April, 2025 at 1.00pm BST / 8.00am EST for our latest “Blitzinar” bringing you key insights in 15 minutes + 15 minutes for direct Q&A, where we will be presenting our “2025 Private Market Alpha Report”, the first ever private market analysis of its kind, which delivers independent alpha-based ratings of 600 funds and over 150 fund managers across global markets.
Using private equities market indices to build Private Market Equivalents (PtME), the report zeroes in on alpha – the pure measure of manager skill – to identify the true outperformers in the private market landscape.
Each fund and manager are given a five star-ranking and a style rating according to the risk and return of funds and the fund managers’ level of skill and outperformance, showing which funds are “Leaders”, “Value Creators” or “Laggards” and which managers are “Sharks” or “Fishes” (or just lucky).
Every rating is grounded in rigorous methodology, drawing on deep historical performance data, strategy-specific metrics, and proprietary analytical models. Fund-by-fund and manager-by-manager breakdowns reveal who is truly adding value – and who is riding beta.
