Nasdaq (NDAQ) Launches New Private Capital Indexes to Standardize Benchmarking for Private Markets

Nasdaq Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) is one of the best fintech stocks to invest in. On February 10, Nasdaq launched the Nasdaq Private Capital Indexes, which is a new suite of rules-based benchmarks designed to bring transparency and standardization to the historically fragmented private markets. This suite covers various strategies, including private equity, venture capital, private debt, and real estate.

By establishing objective performance standards, Nasdaq Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) aims to help institutional investors and consultants benchmark performance and analyze market exposures with the same rigor found in public markets. The indexes are built upon a massive dataset from Nasdaq eVestment, encompassing over 14,000 institutional private market funds representing more than $11.4 trillion in global assets under management.

Using a documented, rules-based methodology (including Modified Dietz quarterly performance measurement and NAV-weighted aggregation), the indexes provide a comprehensive view of private markets based on actual LP-reported fund performance. This launch represents an expansion of the Nasdaq Private Capital Solutions platform, which integrates these new indexes with existing tools like TopQ+ Analytics and eVestment fund benchmarking.

Nasdaq Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) operates as a technology company that serves capital markets and other industries in the US and internationally. It operates through three segments: Capital Access Platforms, Financial Technology, and Market Services.
