FTSE Russell strengthens position in alternative asset indexing with expanded LPX partnership and co branded index suite

(IN BRIEF) FTSE Russell has expanded its partnership with LPX AG to strengthen its offering of listed alternatives indices, covering asset classes such as private equity and private credit. Under the agreement, FTSE Russell will handle index calculation, administration, and global distribution, while LPX will continue managing client relationships and contributing its research expertise. The indices will be co-branded, combining LPX’s deep knowledge of listed private markets with FTSE Russell’s governance and global reach. The collaboration also enables the development of new indices and data services to meet increasing investor demand for transparent, rules-based benchmarks across alternative asset classes. This initiative aligns with broader market trends, including the adoption of total portfolio strategies and the growing importance of private market investments, and builds on FTSE Russell’s earlier efforts to expand into private market indexing.

(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 28-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — FTSE Russell, part of London Stock Exchange Group, has broadened its collaboration with LPX AG to enhance its offering of indices focused on listed alternative investments.

The expanded partnership will see FTSE Russell take responsibility for the calculation, administration, and global distribution of LPX’s established index suite, which covers listed private equity, private credit, and other alternative asset classes. While operational responsibilities will shift, LPX will continue to maintain direct relationships with its existing clients, preserving continuity and service quality.

As part of the collaboration, the indices will be co-branded, combining LPX’s specialised expertise in listed private markets with FTSE Russell’s established capabilities in index governance and global reach. This integration is designed to deliver more robust, transparent, and widely accessible benchmarks for investors navigating increasingly complex portfolios.

The partnership also sets the stage for the joint development of new indices and data services aimed at addressing growing investor demand for rules-based benchmarks across private and alternative markets. As institutional investors continue to adopt total portfolio approaches that span both public and private assets, the need for consistent and transparent measurement tools has become more pronounced.

By combining LPX’s proprietary data and long-standing research with FTSE Russell’s distribution network, the collaboration aims to scale access to listed alternatives indices globally. The initiative supports the broader evolution of financial markets, where investors are seeking clearer insights into liquidity, valuation, and performance across diverse asset classes.

This move builds on FTSE Russell’s ongoing efforts to expand its presence in private market indexing, including its earlier collaboration with StepStone, which focuses on delivering daily private market indices based on fund-level data. Together, these initiatives reflect a strategic push to provide comprehensive benchmarking solutions across the full investable universe.
