London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) today welcomed NewVest to its Digital Market, with NewVest becoming the first closed-ended private equity fund manager to launch on the platform.

NewVest, the private markets index manager, seeks to provide institutional and wealth investors with diversified exposure to private equity and private debt through passive and streamlined investment strategies. The firm has committed capital to funds managed by 100 of the industry’s largest and well-established general partners.

Headquartered in New York, NewVest is a pioneer of index-based investing in private markets. NewVest funds have invested globally as limited partners in private markets funds, applying index principles to an asset class historically defined by active manager selection, restricted access, and limited transparency.

The firm’s private market strategies are inspired by the principles that drove the growth of public equity index funds and ETFs, primarily lower fees, rules-based, formulaic diversification, and broad-based access to diversified portfolios.

In 2025, NewVest collaborated with S&P Dow Jones Indices to launch the S&P Private Equity 50 Index Series, bringing a benchmark-led approach to private equity performance measurement and aiming to support greater transparency and comparability across the asset class.

Edward Talmor-Gera, Founder and CEO of NewVest, said:

“Private markets are entering a new phase of growth, and we believe the shift towards an index-based approach will be one of the most important drivers of institutional and private wealth investors’ allocations to the asset class over the next decade. NewVest was created to bring some of the generally accepted benefits of index investing from public markets to private markets, including broad diversification, transparency, standardisation, scalability and lower fees.

Our collaboration with London Stock Exchange Group, building on its long-established market infrastructure and capital markets expertise, represents another important step towards more accessible private markets. We are honoured to mark this milestone with London Stock Exchange Group as NewVest opens the market.”

Matthew Chapman, Partner at NewVest, said:

“The UK has become one of NewVest’s most important markets, both from an investor and strategic perspective. We see strong demand for diversified, lower-cost, index-based access to private equity. Our new partnership with London Stock Exchange Group reflects NewVest’s long-term commitment to the UK market and to expanding access to private markets through leading infrastructure.”
