- What I think should be changed (include citations):
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, also known as Benchmark, was founded by Simon Moores in 2014.
Benchmark is an independent prices, data and market intelligence provider for the lithium ion battery to electric vehicle supply chain and wider energy transition.
Specialising in independently assessing prices and supply chain data, Benchmark is an IOSCO-assured Price Reporting Agency (PRA). In August 2019, the company was awarded the highest International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) assurance, known as Type 1 Reasonable Assurance by Ernst & Young (EY), for its lithium prices.[1]
The company set Type 2 IOSCO standards across all battery raw materials in 2023.[2]
In 2023, private equity fund Spectrum Equity purchased a 20% minority stake in the company, in a deal that assessed Benchmark as one of the world's largest sources of market information for the electric vehicle supply chain. The deal was led by London-based Cardean Bell acting as financial advisors for a deal reported by Reuters to value the company at around $500m in November 2023.[3]
- Why it should be changed:
This is an accurate description of the company and latest structure. The info on this page is very outdated.
