Morningstar PitchBook Unicorn 20 Index

What this index holds, how it is built, and what its record does not cover. Morningstar Indexes, built with PitchBook.

What it tracks

Twenty of the largest and most liquid venture-backed private companies valued at $1 billion or more. Constituents must meet the index's liquidity requirements.

Run by Morningstar Indexes, built with PitchBook. PrePost has no relationship with the provider and is not paid to list this index.

Most of the record is backfilled

The index began on 25 September 2025. Its performance record starts 19 December 2014, so roughly ten and a half years of it is backfilled rather than live. A return quoted over five or ten years is mostly a backtest.

The index was built with a firm that sells against it

Stableton's own page says Morningstar developed the predecessor index “in collaboration with Stableton” and that it backtests the history. The firm marketing a product tracking the index helped design it.

Private marks can be stale

The provider's own report notes that where transactions are infrequent, secondary-market marks can stay unchanged even as new information emerges.

It can hold listed companies

A constituent that goes public stays in the index for 180 days after listing, so an index of private companies can hold recently listed ones.

Verified means a full PrePost profile with sourced figures. Listed means the company is named here because a benchmark we track names it; PrePost has published no figure for it and does not rank it.

The provider lists “Figure” with no further identifier. At least two unicorns use the name: Figure AI, which PrePost tracks, and Figure Technologies. PrePost does not publish an inference as a fact.

Listing a vehicle is not a recommendation of it, and tracking an index is not the same as holding what the index holds.
