RCA Funds draws on commercial real estate profiles of over 1,600 GPs and 800 LPs, and includes data on more than 8,000 real estate funds. This solution aims to help GPs by providing insights into LP investment criteria and supports fundraising and investor relations with transparent fund performance data for better reporting.
According to MSCI’s latest General Partner Survey, more than half of respondents report difficulties finding attractive deals, and one third identify fundraising and capital flows as their main challenges. These new products are designed to address gaps in data transparency and benchmarking for GPs.
“GPs are operating under increasing pressure in what continues to be a challenging market environment, facing heightened competition for capital and deal-making as well as growing scrutiny from investors and regulators,” says Luke Flemmer, head of private assets at MSCI. “Our goal is to deliver solutions that empower general partners to more clearly articulate their value, operate with greater efficiency and clarity and strengthen investor engagement.”
The new launches add to MSCI’s existing products for GPs, including Private Capital Intel and its recent partnership with Intapp for expanded market intelligence.
