2. Nasdaq Launches Private Capital Indexes
Nasdaq rolled out its Private Capital Indexes, covering over 14,000 institutional funds with more than $11.4 trillion in global assets. These benchmarks use a rules-based methodology to offer transparent performance measurement and risk reporting for private market investors.
