In conjunction with the Private Equity Research Consortium, the Institute for Private Capital supports access to data provided by MSCI for the purpose of academic research. Applications from full-time academic researchers and Ph.D. students are reviewed semi-annually (with deadlines of January 31 and July 31) and responses are provided within 30 days. Two distinct datasets are available, and separate applications are required for each:
