What it does
Preqin supplies research data on private-market funds, managers, investors and deals. Preqin Pro combines search and visual analysis across alternative asset classes, with separate enterprise data-delivery options. A free account provides selected reports and insights rather than full Pro access.
Define a peer group before comparing performance
Preqin covers private equity, venture capital, private credit, real estate, infrastructure and hedge funds. Pro searches can use location, activity and keywords to narrow a set of funds or managers. Match the strategy and reporting period before comparing a manager with a broad benchmark.
Visual analytics and benchmarking tools support research into fundraising and performance. Teams that need data in an existing system can also explore API and data-feed delivery, rather than relying solely on the online interface.
Free insights and professional access
Create a free account for selected industry reports, publications and statistics. Registration asks for contact and company details. Book a demo is the route to discuss Pro access, coverage and commercial terms. The free insights account should not be assumed to include the complete manager database or every benchmark.
