MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Index Series

The indices include weightings of equities, bonds, real estate "cash" and “alternative” investments in proportions that reflect the longer-term objectives for each strategy. The weightings are determined by the PIMFA Private Indices Committee, which is responsible for regularly surveying PIMFA members and reflecting in each index the industry’s collective view for each strategy objective. The index weightings are updated when the Committee determines that strategy changes across the industry warrant a review.

The result is a suite of indices that can be used as benchmarks to compare the performance of portfolios that have investment objectives similar to the strategy represented in the respective index.
