Outline

The Pepperdine Private Capital Access Index (PCA) and Private

Capital Demand Index (PCD) are quarterly indicators produced by the

Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine

University, and with the support of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp.

The index is designed to measure the demand for, activity, and health

of the private capital markets. The purpose of the two indices is to

gauge the demand of small and medium-sized businesses for financing

needs, the level of accessibility of private capital, and the transparency

and efficiency of private financing markets.
