Input is sought from anyone involved in the funding of private businesses for the annual cost of capital survey that is part of the research at the Pepperdine Private Capital Markets Project. Funding providers, recipients, investors, intermediaries, or advisors are encouraged to participate. The information you provide is confidential and is used to produce Pepperdine’s annual “Private Capital Markets Report” (all past reports are available for free). This report gives insight into expected rates of return by investors, lenders, and business owners with respect to private companies. If you have easy access to your transaction data from last year, the survey takes about 25 minutes or less.
