Rocks Global Listed Private Equity (GLPE) Index Gains 5.97% in Q2-2019

Advances on Growth of Small Private Companies

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Red Rocks Capital announced today that its Global Listed Private Equity (GLPE) Index advanced 5.97% during Q2-2019, outpacing global all-cap and small/mid-cap public equities, global REITs, and global hedge funds as low interest rates, attractive valuations, and a healthy exit environment provided favorable conditions for private equity investing.

“Despite zero exposure to FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google) and related stocks, which have been key drivers of equity returns for the past several years, the GLPE Index has provided compelling risk-adjusted returns from an investment model of active ownership, performance improvements, and strategic exits,” said Richard Baker, Red Rocks GLPE Index Product Manager. “The growth of the GLPE Index is driven primarily by the growth and performance of small private companies, which are distinct from traditional public equity return characteristics.”

Year-to-date, the GLPE Index is up 21.43% as listed private equity companies continued their advance from the Q4-2018 drawdown.
