Cambridge Associates will continue to provide our benchmark data directly to several key market segments: (1) our clients, (2) fund managers that contribute their data to CA’s benchmark dataset, and (3) certain industry partners such as the Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) and other industry coalitions. With exception of these market segments, IHS Markit will become the exclusive distributor of CA’s benchmark data in PDF and digital-only formats to end users, analytics platforms, and redistributors. Cambridge Associates will continue to own the private investments benchmark data and be responsible for the collection of data, production of the benchmarks, and development, security, and confidentiality of the dataset. Consistent with the long-standing confidentiality agreements CA has with fund managers that participate in our benchmarks, IHS Markit will not have access to any benchmark constituent data—they will have access only to anonymous and aggregated data.

Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions document for more details regarding this change. If you have further questions, please contact: PrivateBenchmarksChange@cambridgeassociates.com.

We hope to make this transition as simple and seamless as possible for those who have adopted our private investments benchmarks and thank you for your continued support.
