FTSE Russell, LSEG’s global index provider, and LPX AG (“LPX”), a specialist research and index provider in listed alternative investments, today announced an expansion of their existing infrastructure partnership. The collaboration aims to further develop and expand a comprehensive range of listed private equity, private credit and broader listed alternatives indices.
Under the partnership, FTSE Russell will manage the calculation, administration and global distribution of LPX’s established suite of listed alternative indices, whilst existing clients will remain contracted with LPX. These established indices will be co-branded, combining LPX’s long-standing research expertise in listed alternatives, with FTSE Russell’s robust index governance and extensive distribution capabilities.
The partnership provides the framework for FTSE Russell and LPX to collaborate on the development of new indices and data services responding to growing investor demand for transparent, rules-based benchmarks across listed private markets and alternative asset classes.
Gerald Toledano, Group Head of Equity and Multi Assets at FTSE Russell, commented:
“As total portfolio approaches accelerate and investors increasingly allocate across listed and private assets, liquidity profiles and instruments, our partnership with LPX reinforces FTSE Russell’s position as the index provider of choice across the full investable universe.”
Michel Degosciu and Robin Jakob, Managing Partners at LPX, said:
“LPX has built deep expertise in listed private markets, underpinned by long-standing research, benchmark development and proprietary data. Through our partnership with FTSE Russell, we can scale this expertise globally while maintaining the independence and methodological rigour our clients rely on. Combining LPX’s data with FTSE Russell’s global distribution creates a strong platform for the next generation of listed private markets indices - expanding access to transparent, consistent and trusted benchmarks as the market continues to evolve.”
The collaboration follows FTSE Russell’s previously announced partnership with StepStone on daily private market indexing empowered by actual fund-level data.
