The article discusses the lack of adequate benchmarks for private equity investments and the efforts by the Finance Department at the University of Basel, led by Prof. Dr. Heinz Zimmermann, to wwwelop a new index. This index aims to provide a preliminary solution for benchmarking private equity in the listed segment of private equity products. It includes the creation of stable risk and return metrics based on a database of about 300 publicly traded private equity companies, noting the significant growth of listed private equity market capitalization and its distribution across different geographies.
