Description

Private Equity Proxy Index focuses on companies with market caps between 100 & 600 million, encompassing 85% of the distribution of traditional PE holding sizes. The Private Equity Proxy Index follows a simple rules based screener for potential Micro and Small cap public equities that mirror potential Private Equity investment exposures. On a rolling 3-5 year basis based on traditional PE exits, the index should outperform the Russell Microcap Index and the Russell 2000 Index. This index should be a guideline to an alterative to traditional private equity exposure, seeking fundamental value metrics of growth potential with increased liquidity.
