Full Analysis
MSCI has launched new daily Net Asset Value (NAV) indices for private credit and private equity, aiming to bring real-time transparency to asset classes historically defined by opacity. These 'Nowcasting' estimates combine historical cash flow data, proprietary indices, public market proxies adjusted for geography and sector, and the latest valuations reported by General Partners. The initiative seeks to fill the informational gap in private markets, which are often viewed as stable but opaque during economic stress. By aligning private assets with liquid market mechanics, MSCI enables their continuous integration into multi-asset risk models, addressing the need for investors to gauge actual risks behind the curtain of non-public listings. The MSCI All Country Private Equity Index utilizes data from nearly 10,000 funds and is up 1.21% in 2026 with a 12.1% gain over one year. Meanwhile, the MSCI All Country Private Credit Index relies on correlations between benchmarks and reported fund data, showing a 1.16% gain in 2026 and an 8.34% increase over the past year.
