UBS Group and MSCI have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing transparency across private markets, according to a joint statement on Friday.<\/p>\n
The partnership will combine MSCI\u2019s data, analytics and AI-powered platform with UBS Group\u2019s limited partner (LP) and wealth management insights.<\/p>\n
The companies said the platform will bring together fund discovery portfolio management, analytics and benchmarking capabilities within a single ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Sergio P. Ermotti, group chief executive officer of UBS, said: \u201cThis partnership builds on our long-standing relationship with MSCI and our shared ambition to increase transparency in private markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a leading LP, our unified global alternatives business brings extensive industry insights and a deep understanding of clients\u2019 evolving needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough our collaboration with MSCI, our goal is to help to shape the next generation of private markets portfolio management solutions and transform the decision-making process for clients across public and private markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
The companies said they aim to offer a more connected and standardised experience across the full private markets investment lifecycle, enabling investors to access insights more efficiently and evaluate opportunities with greater confidence.<\/p>\n
Investors have historically had difficulty benchmarking performance in private markets due to fragmented data and disconnected tools due to the opaqueness of the underlying assets and investment marketplace.<\/p>\n
However UBS said in a statement it will be an early adopter and collaborate with MSCI to advocate for broader market adoption and standardization across the private markets industry.<\/p>\n
Henry Fernandez, chairman and CEO of MSCI, said: \u201cMSCI has long been committed to bringing independence, transparency and innovation to global investors.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs private markets become an increasingly important part of the investment landscape, investors are looking for the insights, rigor and accessibility that they have come to expect in public markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy combining MSCI and UBS\u2019s respective strengths, we aim to help build the infrastructure that can shape the future of private markets investing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The platform will also streamline data management, bridge private and public markets, and foster a private markets ecosystem that connects general partners (GPs) with institutional and private wealth investors, the companies said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UBS Group and MSCI have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing transparency across private markets, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[129],"tags":[241,19829,30150,223],"class_list":["post-102443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ubs","tag-alternatives","tag-msci","tag-private-markets","tag-ubs"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116910497675699748","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
