LPX is a research house specialising in listed alternatives and it sponsors the representative benchmarks for the Private Equity, Infrastructure and Private Debt asset classes.

The LPX indices will capture companies globally which are active within PE, with the headline and sub-sector indices allowing investors to measure the fundamental performance of listed PE as an asset class.

A spokesperson for the AIC told Investment Week this is the first time it has made listed PE benchmarks available on its website.

He added: "As a result of this partnership, investors will be able to understand how their company has performed in comparison to an appropriate private equity benchmark - a positive for the association, its member companies and their shareholders."
