What independent research found
Researchers at the Institute for Private Capital examined 649 managers running at least $1bn. 125 of them are covered by PivotalPath and by no commercial database. Those funds generated 6.9% annualised alpha, on a seven-factor model, against 2.6% for funds visible only through commercial databases.
