pitchbook.com PME BENCHMARKS METHODOLOGY PitchBook’s newly developed PME Index and Benchmarks provide GPs and LPs with an effective way to compare returns from alternative investment funds with public equities. Indices produced by Russell Investments have been used to construct the PME vehicles used in computing the benchmarks. The PME equation can be customized using various indices from Russell Investments to create targeted peer groups (i.e. small-cap stocks, growth stocks, value stocks, etc.). As there are multiple ways to calculate a PME, PitchBook has employed both the PME+ and the Kaplan-Schoar PME methods. For more information on the PME calculations, please download the white paper at

pitchbook.com PE KAPLAN-SCHOAR PME BENCHMARK BY VINTAGE YEAR » PE funds consistently outperform the public markets, except for young funds that are still in the J-curve Source: PitchBook When using the KS PME, a value greater than 1.0 indicates outperformance of the public index (net of all fees); a value less than 1.0 indicates underperformance. For example, the 1.51 value for 2000 vintage funds means investors in a typical vehicle from that year are 51% better off investing in PE than if they invested in public equities over the same period.
