Jorge Mina, Head of Analytics, MSCI, said: "The private asset class has emerged as a critical component in the construction of long-term portfolios. Today, investors are looking at private assets differently, expanding and shifting the role the investments play within a multi-asset class portfolio. While capital inflows to private assets have increased incrementally, investor appetite and confidence has been restricted by a lack of transparency and data. At MSCI, we're committed to powering bett er investment decisions and we view this modelling service as a crucial milestone driving the next wave of
investor demand for private assets."
