PitchBook Rolls Out Q2 2026 Private Capital Indexes

PitchBook has published its Q2 2026 Private Capital Indexes, the quarterly data series the firm uses to benchmark valuations and performance across private capital's main asset classes.

The release carries no editorial commentary in the feed announcement itself — it's a data drop, not a narrative report. That's standard for this product line. PitchBook publishes the indexes every quarter, and institutional investors, LPs and fund managers use them to track how private markets are pricing assets between fundraising cycles.

What are the Private Capital Indexes?

The series is PitchBook's benchmarking toolkit for private markets. It spans the major private capital categories the firm tracks — private equity, venture capital, private debt and related strategies — and updates each quarter.

The indexes matter because private assets don't reprice daily the way public equities do. Quarterly index data is one of the few consistent reference points for:

• Valuation levels across private equity portfolios
• Venture capital markups and markdowns
• Private debt performance
• Trend comparisons quarter over quarter

Who uses this data?

The audience is institutional. Limited partners writing checks into funds, fund managers setting expectations, and advisors constructing private-market allocations all lean on PitchBook's index methodology as a common yardstick.

The Q2 2026 edition arrives as investors continue pressing for clearer pricing signals in private markets, where reported values often lag real-time conditions by design.

The full dataset is available through PitchBook directly.
