Preqin’s private equity data will now be available via FactSet, a provider of integrated financial information and analytical applications. Subscribers will be able to access the data via the FactSet workstation, allowing users to integrate private market data into their workflows.
Clients will be able to see an integrated live feed of Preqin data on private equity fund managers, investors and performance alongside FactSet’s own datasets. This will enable users to conduct in-depth analysis of private equity performance, powered by both Preqin and FactSet data, all in one platform.
Preqin’s Global Head of Partnerships, Ayo Akindele, says: “We are very pleased to announce this forthcoming collaboration with FactSet, which makes two best-in-class financial information resources available side-by-side. This evolution further reflects our ongoing commitment to our Preqin Anywhere program. Allocators will now be able to get unparalleled analysis that spans every asset class, while deal makers will have access to a wealth of added insights on potential buyers and sellers to optimise their deal sourcing.”
“Investments in private equity are growing and clients require corresponding data to manage these investments effectively,” says Justin Strand, Senior Vice President and Chief Content Officer, FactSet. “They need the ability to integrate alternative asset information seamlessly into workflows, and we are excited they can now utilise Preqin’s content within the FactSet workstation.”
Subscribers to both Preqin and FactSet will be able to request Preqin data in their FactSet platform from 15 July. FactSet subscribers who are not also Preqin subscribers will be able to obtain Preqin subscriptions through FactSet directly.
