About the Index Family

The Evergreen Private Markets Index family provides transparent, position-level benchmarks for the portfolio holdings of SEC-registered evergreen vehicles: business development companies (BDCs), interval funds, and tender offer funds. These are the registered, wealth-accessible vehicles that have opened private credit and equity markets to a broader investor base.

The index currently tracks 163 reporting entities (113 BDCs, 32 interval funds, 18 tender offer funds) representing $362.4B in private markets fair value.

Why Evergreen Vehicles?

Evergreen private market funds have grown from a niche to a core allocation for wealth channel investors. Yet performance measurement has lagged.

Existing benchmarks rely on voluntary manager surveys or track only a subset of the market. By constructing indices from the mandatory portfolio disclosures of every registered vehicle, the Evergreen Private Markets Index provides complete, unbiased coverage of this rapidly growing market segment, at the individual position level, mirroring the granularity of public credit benchmarks like the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index.

Index Construction

The indices are constructed through a rigorous, rules-based process that transforms mandatory SEC filings into position-level benchmarks. The methodology is fully systematic with no discretionary overrides.

Update Frequency

Indices are updated quarterly following SEC filing deadlines, with a one-quarter observation lag. The current dataset covers 2019 Q4 through Q4 2025. BDC portfolio coverage begins around 2022 when the SEC phased in structured tagging requirements. Fund portfolio data (N-PORT) extends back to late 2019.
