Private equity has always felt out of reach for many investors — strong returns, limited access, long lockups and little transparency. But what if data and design could bridge that divide? 

We explore how innovation and collaboration turned that idea into reality in the form of a new index that seeks to capture the return drivers of private equity — and an ETF that delivers them in a liquid, transparent way.
