The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) has partnered with research house LPX AG, giving the trade association access to a host of data on private equity investments.
The LPX indices, which the AIC can now access at no additional charge, allow investors to measure the fundamental performance of listed private equity as an asset class, with diversification across regions, vintages, financing and investment styles.
Delivered through the Morningstar Direct terminal, it will include the latest updates on price, NAV and discount levels.
Dr Michel Degosciu, co-founder and managing director of LPX AG, said: “We are pleased to be partnering with a leading body like the AIC, providing relevant benchmarks so the performance of its private equity member companies can be accurately evaluated.
“As a result of this partnership, investors will be able to understand how their company has performed in comparison to an appropriate private equity benchmark – a positive for the association, its member companies and their shareholders.”
