MSCI acquires PM Insights to expand private markets data

MSCI says it has acquired PM Insights, a private-markets data and analytics firm, as it continues expanding its private-asset information business.

In an April 7 announcement, MSCI said PM Insights provides daily secondary-market reference data for private company securities, including pricing, valuation, transaction and liquidity data. The company said the acquisition will deepen its private-markets transparency and analytics offering.

MSCI said PM Insights’ data supports portfolio management, performance measurement and index creation. It also said the business will be reported within MSCI’s Index segment.

The company said transaction terms were not disclosed and that the acquisition is not expected to be material to MSCI’s financial results.

MSCI said PM Insights’ coverage spans private companies representing more than $5.5 trillion in equity market value as of April 2026.

The deal is another step in MSCI’s push into private-markets infrastructure, where demand has been growing for better pricing, liquidity and valuation data.

Syndicated market coverage the same day matched the company’s announcement, but the main details came from MSCI’s own release.
