Join us on April 3rd, 2025 at 9.30am BST for our webinar “Measuring the alpha of private fund managers – a global league table” where we will unveil our first global league table of private fund managers based on alpha performance. Using a robust data-driven methodology that isolates fund returns after accounting for risk, we provide a transparent and fair comparison of fund and manager performance.

Key highlights:

• Take a look at the methodology where we will explain how we calculate total alpha using the infra300 index to isolate a fund’s true performance after accounting for risk.
• Discover the largest alpha-generating fund in each vintage year and its manager.
• See which managers with more than three funds in their track record rank highest by median alpha.
• Find out which managers consistently generate alpha across multiple funds and vintages.
• Learn how these rankings help LPs make informed investment decisions and allow GPs to demonstrate their competitive edge.

Join us on 10 April, 2025 at 9.30am BST / 4.30pm SGT for our latest “Blitzinar” bringing you key insights in 15 minutes + 15 minutes for direct Q&A, where we will be presenting our new report entitled “Does Size Matter? A Closer Look at Alpha across Fund Size”, which analyses the performance of 586 buyout funds in North America, spanning vintages from 2013 to 2023, and finds that while many champion the upper mid-market and large segments (excluding mega funds) as the higher alpha potential parts of the market, they actually underperformed the small, lower middle market and mega cap space. Topics covered in the report include:

1. Methods and Tools
2. Prior Studies on Size and Performance
3. Alpha by Fund Size
4. Manager Incentives, Fund Size, and Deal Size
5. Do the Best Managers Graduate to Mega Funds?
6. Systematic Risk Factors Explanation

Join us on 17 April, 2025 at 9.30am BST / 4.30pm SGT 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.

Join us on 24 April, 2025 at 9.30am BST / 4.30pm SGT for our latest “Blitzinar” bringing you key insights in 15 minutes + 15 minutes for direct Q&A, where we will be presenting our recent report, “Expected Returns in Private Equities & Infrastructure: 2025 Capital Market Assumptions”, in which we provide updated 2025 Capital Market Assumptions utilising our infraMetrics® and privateMetrics® indices, including the infra300® and private2000® indices.

Key highlights of the report include:

• Private infrastructure expected returns remain higher than past periods due to elevated government bond yields and a relatively stable equity risk premium. Median expected return and volatility for the infra300 index is 11.4% and 10.3%, respectively.
• For private equities, recent returns have been anaemic (mid-single digits). Nonetheless, current expected returns reflect appropriate compensation for risk taken in the private equities market, assuming assets are marked to market. Moreover, by providing discount rates at the sector level, we enable a more granular assessment of return expectations across sectors.
• We compare the infraMetrics and privateMetrics indices expected returns and volatilities assumptions against those provided by other market participants (BlackRock, Invesco, Morgan Stanley, Amundi, BNY, Allianz, PIMCO, Northern Trust, State Street). Longer term private infrastructure expected return assumptions range from 8%-11%. Volatility assumptions were wider, ranging from 14%-21%. For private equities, expected returns from investment houses ranged from 8%-11%, with volatility estimates very wide, from 11%-32%.
