Our Methodology

Extended Investment makes a single promise about the numbers we publish: every figure is sourced and verifiable. To keep that promise, we cite market data only from published market research, official government statistics, or named partners. We do not publish a market size, growth rate or sector statistic that we cannot trace back to a credible, third-party origin.

Market sizes and growth rates are forecasts, and forecasts vary by provider — two reputable research firms can value the same market quite differently depending on scope and methodology. Where that happens, we choose one representative source, keep a single consistent headline figure across the site, and cite the closest credible source for it rather than switching numbers from page to page. The table below lists, for each headline figure, where it appears and the source it follows.

Firm-level metrics are different in kind. Assets under advisory, client and allocator counts, and named mandates are reported internally by Extended Investment or presented as illustrative case studies. They are not drawn from third-party research and should not be read as independently audited or externally sourced. All figures — market and firm — are reviewed periodically and updated as newer data is published.
