Our take

Preqin is a London-based investment data company empowering the alternative asset market with essential data and insights. Supporting customers throughout the entire investment lifecycle, Preqin provides critical information leading to analytical solutions. Its customers use Preqin's vast database for due diligence, benchmark performance, market research and investment opportunity analysis.

Private markets are the fastest-growing sector in asset management, and by 2030, alternative assets are predicted to reach a valuation of nearly $30 trillion. Preqin has produced advanced methods of collecting private data for 20 years. Its products allow a customer base of over 200,000 professionals to streamline how they raise capital, source deals and investments, understand performance, and stay informed.

Recognising its value, BlackRock acquired Preqin in 2025, empowering both to strengthen access to the private markets. Preqin is working with software providers, world-renowned institutions, and industry associations around the globe to build innovative products, tools, and research that help connect data to critical decisions. It's had a successful history and, now partnered with BlackRock, will look to continue on a strong growth path ahead.
