Our barometer for real-time private market returns
The lag between private market returns and their public market counterparts leads to a monthslong wait for a complete picture of fund performance, but we have a solution.
PitchBook’s Private Capital Return Barometers, detailed in our Q4 2024 Allocator Solutions report, incorporate fundamental economic and market indicators and spit out a score—between 0 and 100—representing our expectation of an asset class’s returns. While this framework was used to evaluate PE funds exclusively, we’ve now expanded its scope to cover VC, private debt, infrastructure and natural resources.
