Private Markets & Alternatives

BCA Research’s Private Markets & Alternatives service provides empirical analysis and practitioner advice across the most opaque of all asset classes to improve clients’ portfolio construction and management decisions.

Our competitive advantage

  • Runs comprehensive and unbiased data analysis and establishes forward-looking expectations across the entire spectrum of private markets & alternatives — Private Equity, Private Credit, Hedge Funds and Real Estate.

  • Provides prescriptive, actionable advice from a practitioner’s perspective. “Where should the marginal dollar go?”

  • Offers outlooks and projections for each sub-asset class and asset class through the combination of top-down and bottom-up analysis.

  • Weighs opportunity costs within and across asset classes to provide a holistic assessment to portfolio managers.

“Our approach to private markets and alternatives is unbiased, comprehensive, predictive and portfolio management-focused. We understand how heterogeneous these markets are and how important it is to distill and provide analysis from a practitioner standpoint.”
