Preqin’s data is collected through a variety of sources. Since 2003, we have built valued relationships with fund managers, institutional investors and other industry professionals who are happy to provide us with data on their activities. We also obtain our data via various FOIA requests, public filings, and industry-recognized news sources. During validation, we cross check data to ensure accuracy and clarify data points directly with whomever they concern. When we refer to ‘investors’ in any asset class, we mean confirmed, active allocators. We do not include investors that are no longer investing, or those that actively invest in other asset classes but not the one in question. We do not count investment consultants, fund administrators, or GPs that are committing capital to their own fund as investors.
