Global Investor Index

Two sets of performance metrics are collected – performance reported to beneficiaries and local currency performance. Aggregate performance is calculated on investment value weighted basis and equally weighted (arithmetic average) basis. 

Data is collected by the INREV Market Information team directly using the Excel questionnaire.

The Index results are based on data that is provided to INREV directly by investors. Data collection starts immediately at year end for a period of up to 6 months after year end.

INREV does not use publicly available information, and both members and non-members can provide data for the Index.

How is data confidentiality be managed?
INREV does not disclose or share any investor performance data received or calculated. INREV only uses performance data in a composite, where the investors are not identifiable. A minimum number of 3 investors is required to display performance and the share of an individual investor cannot exceed 65% of the index.
