What is it?
A deep understanding of asset performance is essential for investors at the best of times, but it takes on even greater importance during periods of intense market disruption and volatility.
The second generation of PME methods - namely the Modified Public Market Equivalent (mPME) and the Public Market Equivalent Plus (PME+) - are the most advanced and reliable methods to benchmark private markets performance.
The second generation PME methods support:
Private-private performance comparisons
Private-public performance comparisons
Analyses of the value created by fund managers
