Global real estate recovery to speed up growth in MSCI’s private-market indices

[SINGAPORE] Index provider MSCI sees a recovery in global real estate fuelling faster growth in its private-market indices in the coming years, after a property downturn slowed the momentum.

Last July, the company launched MSCI Private Capital Indexes – 130 indices constructed from private-asset funds with more than US$11 trillion in capitalisation.

That follows its US$913 million purchase of private asset market data provider Burgiss in 2023, and a US$950 million acquisition of Real Capital Analytics, which specialises in private real estate, in 2021.
