S&P Global, Cambridge Associates, Mercer Private Markets Performance Analytics datasets

While institutional investors are allocating more capital to private markets than ever before, the data infrastructure supporting rapidly expanding asset classes has failed to keep pace.  

In collaboration with S&P Global and Cambridge Associates, we’re helping to close the data gap through a new set of standardized private markets performance analytics datasets, starting with private credit and real assets.

Actionable intelligence for private markets portfolios

S&P Global, Cambridge Associates, Mercer Private Markets Performance Analytics datasets deliver institutional-grade insights across thousands of funds and their underlying assets and deals.

Powered by S&P Global’s iLEVEL platform and a proprietary, investor-informed taxonomy, the datasets standardize, aggregate and anonymize data across private markets – aiming to enable more consistent comparisons, stronger risk assessment and faster, more confident decision-making. 

Starting with private credit and real assets, these datasets unlock new visibility across traditionally opaque markets for both limited and general partners (LPs/GPs). Coverage of private equity will follow later this year. 

Bringing together Mercer’s investment expertise, S&P Global’s data and analytics capabilities, and Cambridge Associates’ private markets knowledge, this collaboration marks a step change in how private markets data is sourced, structured and applied.

We believe better data leads to better decisions, and we are committed to bringing high quality data to all of the portfolios we advise and manage. With institutional-grade insights at their fingertips, our clients can identify more efficiently potential alpha opportunities and deploy capital with conviction.
