Enhancing Preqin Indices

The Preqin Index Methodology underpins Preqin Indices to ensure an accurate, complete, and timely representation of private market characteristics and performance. Our recent global market consultations have driven enhancements to Preqin Indices in three areas:

  • Index construction

  • Index calculation

  • Index governance

These enhancements will go live in January 2025 with the quarterly data update. This update will result in a one-off refresh of all historical index data points.

Net debt multiples data has been added to Preqin’s Transaction Intelligence, enabling you to easily understand the average net debt of a cohort of companies that match your preferences – whether you are valuing a private asset against that cohort, creating fund, or offering NAV financing solutions.

Net debt multiples have been added within the Valuation Overview tab for a high-level view of valuations, including this new metric at entry, entry for released deals only, and exit levels. It is also available within the Valuation Analysis tab to help you analyze this metric across the distribution, histogram, and correlation analysis charts.
