Preqin will strengthen the Privatize Private Market Institute’s offering with essential data and insights on private markets
Advisors and investors on Privatize will be enabled to navigate private equity, private debt and real assets as confidently as liquid asset classes
FRANKFURT, LONDON, 3 June 2024 – Preqin, the global leader in alternative assets data, tools, and insights, and Privatize, the B2B private markets platform for wealth advisors, discretionary wealth managers and professional investors, today announced a partnership to equip wealth advisors, fund of fund managers and professional investors with better access to educational tools covering the private markets. Now, these investment professionals can navigate the complex market landscape with confidence through access to trustworthy data and insights.
As part of the partnership, Preqin will enhance the Privatize Private Market Institute’s offering with essential data and insights on private markets. Meanwhile, by curating Preqin’s content in local language, the Institute will inform and educate their clients on product and market trends, key industry themes and developments in private equity, private debt, and real assets.
The alternative markets are historically opaque with the lack of educational offerings and the complexities arising from a high degree of intransparency across the industry commonly named as the main entry barriers. Advisors and investors are notably impacted by these concerns. This partnership aims to bridge this gap by catering to a growing need to provide better access to comprehensive education and insights on the private markets. This comes as a rising number of wealth advisors, discretionary wealth managers and professional investors recognize private market asset classes as highly attractive building blocks within their portfolios.
Christoph Knaack, Chief Executive Officer of Preqin, said, “At Preqin, we’re committed to providing private markets insights to a growing community of investors. Our new partnership with Privatize aligns perfectly with our ambition, offering new investor segments the tools to navigate private markets confidently.”
Dr. Andrea Vathje, Head of Privatize Private Markets Institute, added, “This partnership will redefine private markets accessibility for wealth advisors, discretionary wealth managers and professional investors. We are jointly enabling wealth managers, family offices, and banks to feel at home with private market investments.”
As a core pillar of the Privatize platform, the Privatize Private Markets Institute is an independent private markets education and insights resource for private banks, wealth intermediaries, family offices, discretionary wealth managers and institutional investors. It allows advisors, discretionary wealth managers and professional investors to make well-informed and confident fund selection and investment decisions by giving them access to comprehensive knowledge on private markets. The partnership enhances Privatize’s current offerings by adding a regular cadence of updates and insights, making private markets as familiar as traditional investment assets.
