Use Alerts in Preqin Pro to customize your news, fundraising and deals notifications and have the latest and most accurate updates sent straight to your inbox.
Investor News
While custom target lists are beneficial to keep track of the dealings of your competition, we can also help you be the first to hear about news that may affect your business decisions.
With 'News Alerts', you can set up a daily or weekly custom newsletter tailored to your needs. You can be alerted whenever a new investor news story appears on the database based on categories of your choosing, getting up to date information straight to your inbox.
Alerts can be set up in the 'My Alerts' section that you can navigate to from the 'My Shortcuts' menu on Preqin Pro’s dashboard or the via the 'My Preqin' drop-down.
If you have existing alerts set up, you can use the pencil icon to change the name, click the settings wheel to turn notifications on or off, change any criteria, or frequency, or use the trash can icon to delete an alert.
By clicking on the 'Create a New Notification' button in the top right of the table, this modal will appear:
In here you can create a new alert by entering the name, choose the asset classes you want to follow, the frequency of the alert and the selection criteria (news type, investor type, and location). Click 'Create Alert' when complete, and we will regularly send through new articles we have gathered or created - direct to your mailbox.
Fundraising Alerts
With 'Fundraising Alerts' you can be alerted whenever a new fund is announced or expected, launches to the market or reaches a close, with information from our database straight to your inbox.
The process for setting up 'Fundraising Alerts' is comparable to setting up 'News Alerts' explained previously. Instead of investor criteria you need to select the fund criteria you want to include in your alert:
After selecting the asset class you are interested in, the fund type, industry focus, and geographic focus, click on Create Alert and we will send you through alerts updating you on the current state of the fundraising market.
Deals Alerts
The last type of alert you can set up are Deals Alerts that alert you whenever a new deal or exit occurs.
You can use the same steps as setting up 'News Alerts' or 'Fundraising Alerts':
When creating the alert, simply select the deal type you are interested in, industry focus, and geographic focus and we will send you through alerts updating you on the current state of the deals market.

Fundraising Alerts by Fund Status
Preqin Pro users can now customize fundraising alerts by 'Fund Status', giving you the opportunity to see newly announced and launched funds quickly without having to sift through other information. This helps to prioritize your due diligence and fund screening efforts and enables you to focus on the right opportunities at the right time.
To use this new feature, simply go to create a fundraising alert and apply the status option located in 'Fund Criteria'.
