SIPA

SIPA, Part of PEI is an ESMA-recognised provider of indexes and analytics for private assets and infrastructure. Private markets are growing rapidly but still remain difficult to accurately measure. Unlike public markets, they have historically lacked transparency, making pricing and performance difficult to track. SIPA closes this gap.

Our indexes already span 150 countries and over one million companies, equipping investors with the tools to measure performance, manage risk, and make smarter allocation decisions.
