Red Rocks Global Listed Private Equity (GLPE) Index Gains 14.59% in Q1-2019 as Private Company Growth Outpaces Public Markets
Red Rocks Capital announced today that its Global Listed Private Equity (GLPE) Index advanced during Q1-2019, up 14.59%. The gain was driven by strong private company growth along with attractive listed private equity (LPE) public valuations.
During the 10 years since the Great Financial Crisis, the GLPE Index has outperformed global all-cap and small-mid cap public equities, global REITs, and global hedge funds, with annualized returns of 17.22%.
"Unlike indices that attempt to replicate the performance of private equity, the GLPE index is comprised of global listed private equity companies that each manage a portfolio of private companies, enhancing them over time, and eventually selling them or taking them public after 7-10 years," said Richard Baker, Red Rocks GLPE Index Product Manager. "The GLPE Index provides access to a different source of returns from public equities ? access to fast growing small- and mid-sized private companies, backed by the balance sheets and know-how of global listed private equity firms."
