Prime Unicorn Index
The World’s First Unicorn Tracking Index
The Prime Unicorn Index, created in August 2017, is a modified market cap price return index that measures the share price performance of U.S. private companies valued at $1 billion or more. The Prime Unicorn Index is a leading benchmark targeting and tracking U.S.-based unicorns. Company eligibility and price inputs are derived from disclosed, hard to find corporate filings and the index calculation model is based on actual or derived prices of preferred stock and common stock. The index provides empirical data for tracking today’s private capital markets.
Featuring Some of the Most Innovative Companies of the Future
Featured companies are part of the Prime Unicorn Index. The Prime Unicorn Index includes private companies incorporated in the United States, have valuations at or greater than $1 billion, file preferred price-per-share information with their respective states of incorporation and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with Regulation D. The Prime Unicorn Index rebalances these companies on a quarterly basis.
