What Preqin is
Preqin provides financial data and information for the alternative-assets industry, supporting due diligence, performance benchmarking, market research, and investment opportunity identification. Its Preqin Pro platform combines private capital and hedge fund datasets with tools for decisions across the investment lifecycle. Users can search tens of millions of lines of financial data by keyword, location, activity, and other criteria, and use interactive visual analytics to examine private-markets history, current conditions, future outlook, and peer positioning. Coverage includes private equity, venture capital, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure, natural resources, and secondaries. Preqin Pro also offers access to a curated network of a quarter of a million alternative-assets professionals. Enterprise Data Solutions provide Feeds APIs for bulk structured data and Operational APIs for targeted access. Data is also available through Snowflake Marketplace and AWS Data Exchange.
