Forge Global Holdings, Inc. announced the launch of the Forge Private Market Index, the benchmark for actively traded private companies. This first index represents the continued expansion of Forge's private market data products and solutions – particularly for institutional asset managers – to drive increased adoption of the asset class. The Forge Private Market Index marks a new milestone for Forge and the private market more broadly, as Forge leverages its 13 years of private market trading data and experience to enable investors to better measure their investment returns and gain insights on late-stage, venture-backed companies.

The index includes U.S. domiciled companies that have raised at least one round of primary funding and have higher relative secondary liquidity in the past 12 months, thereby reflecting the actively traded segment of the private market rather than overemphasizing primary valuations, which bring less continuous pricing and liquidity information. Made possible by the Forge Data platform, the Forge Private Market Index leverages the breadth and depth of Forge's trading data and can be used by investors, shareholders, employees, and industry analysts to: Benchmark actively traded private companies with secondary liquidity. Measure the performance of venture backed, late-state companies relative to other asset classes.
