The New Era of Private Markets Benchmarks
July 22, 2026

What we will cover:

Expectations are rising around transparency, consistency, and how benchmarking fits into real workflows and decision-making. That is where data and technology are reshaping the market.

As private markets become more accessible and increasingly diverse in structure, firms are asking more of their benchmark frameworks – and more demanding questions of the data, methodology, and comparability behind them. From closed-end funds to evergreen vehicles and BDC loan indices, the market needs more practical ways to assess performance across different structures, strategies, and investment workflows

Join Preqin for a thought-leadership discussion on the forces reshaping private markets benchmarking, what current market dynamics are signaling, and what stronger benchmarking can unlock across reporting, analysis, and strategic decision-making.

What we will explore:

  • Why the benchmark question is becoming more important

  • Where fragmented tools, inconsistent methodologies, and limited comparability are creating friction

  • How advances in data and technology underpin greater precision and robustness in benchmarking and analysis

  • How newer private markets structures are reshaping the need for practical, comparable benchmark frameworks

  • What stronger benchmarking can unlock for performance insight, strategic allocation, and decision-making
