Some investors are concerned that private equity valuations are too high. Some would say that private equity, with its smaller companies and higher gearing, should be more sensitive to swings in the public markets, and thus GPs are reporting inflated valuations for their portfolios. StepStone Group decided to look at the data to see whether they support this instinct about private equity valuations.

Our Mission: CAIA Association seeks to improve investment and societal outcomes of capital allocation through professional education, transparency, and thought leadership across all investor alternatives in our industry.
