  • Favorable Conditions: Jobs Act (2012) boosts participation in private companies by increasing investor numbers.
  • Nontraditional Investors: Corporate VCs, hedge funds, and mutual funds entering the space bring more capital.

What are some of the challenges in creating indices and valuing Private Equity?

  • Data Accessibility: Difficult to access data due to lack of disclosure requirements for private companies.
