The PERI implements this theory through a QES<br \/>\ndeveloped systematic model which uses financial algorithms, in large part underpinned by<br \/>\nprivate equity industry data from Preqin, to allocate on a weekly basis to these \u201epublic market<br \/>\nequivalents?.<\/p>\n<p>The PERI is a daily investible, long only index that targets global private equity like returns but<br \/>\non a committed capital basis. The overall performance is intended to target both the returns of<br \/>\ncapital actually invested in the private equity buyout fund universe (\u201ecalled capital?) as well as a<br \/>\nrisk free rate of return on the proportion of capital awaiting deployment (\u201edry powder?).<\/p>\n<p>Exposure to the PERI is obtained exclusively via Nomura, which is able to offer a variety of<br \/>\nstructured products (including optionality) on the index. Matthew Peakman, Managing Director,<br \/>\nHead of Fund Derivatives Trading at Nomura said: \u201cThe PERI has been developed to address<br \/>\nsome of the limitations traditionally associated with private equity investing, including long term<br \/>\ncapital lock ups, high minimum investment sizes and infrequent reporting. With the PERI, we are<br \/>\ncapable of providing truly liquid products that target global buyout returns in a cost efficient way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PERI is the first liquid private equity returns index of its kind, and the first investible index to<br \/>\nuse data from Preqin. Mark O?Hare, CEO of Preqin, said: \u201cPreqin is the world?s leading<br \/>\ndatabase of private equity fund and deal data, covering over 6,000 funds and over 70% of all<br \/>\ncapital ever raised by the industry. The PERI is a unique index that will clearly benefit from this<br \/>\nunparalleled depth of market data\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The PERI is calculated daily by S&#038;P Opco, LLCTM and published on Bloomberg NMQPERIN<br \/>\nIndex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nomura, Asia&#8217;s global investment bank, today announced the<br \/>\nlaunch of the Nomura QES Modelled Private Equity Returns Index (Net) (the ?PERI\u201e), the first<br \/>\ndaily investible index which targets returns similar to those which may be achieved through a<br \/>\nglobal broad-based investment in private equity buyout funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":25807,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1471],"tags":[1687,1718,1671,1690,1651,1711,1437,1691,2234,2243,1720,1787,1917],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25809"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
