Launched in January 2022, ApeVue provides the leading daily pricing data service on private companies to support investors’ needs around risk, compliance, and trade confidence. The ApeVue datasets are backed by a consortium of private equity brokers, which are actively providing liquidity to the private market’s institutional investors. Datasets include unique company identifiers, stock pricing, inputs into implied market valuations, contribution depths, and data quality metrics.

The service provides daily prices for over 100 non-public companies, including well-known unicorns like SpaceX, Impossible Foods and Epic Games, as well as less visible, but significant companies like Addepar, Chime and Discord.

While pre-IPO markets are potentially lucrative for asset managers, many funds participate on a limited basis or not at all because of the lack of price transparency between financial disclosures or funding rounds. This creates significant hurdles for their risk and NAV reporting. Independent pricing from ApeVue provides the objective, daily inputs asset managers require for robust NAV calculation, risk reporting and other governance standards set by Pricing Committees and Fund Boards.

ApeVue will be adding their proprietary price return indices, tracking the most active50 pre-IPO private companies, to the BDP Marketplace. The dataset, called the ApeVue50, is now available through the BDP Marketplace to give visibility into the performance of the most active private companies in the institutional market.
