Turn market complexity into decision advantage
Investors are asking more sophisticated questions. What sits underneath the portfolio? How are exposures concentrated? How do valuations compare to peers? Is differentiation real or narrative?
Deal teams need market context before committing capital, risk teams need external evidence for valuation governance, and strategy teams need to see where the market is crowded and where genuine whitespace exists.
Preqin Private Credit gives fund managers a single, connected market reference point across all of these workflows.
Support portfolio differentiation
Analyze portfolio overlaps against peers using co-ownership overlap analysis so you can demonstrate low issuer overlap or explain where similar exposures are held with genuinely different positioning.
Compare sector, lien, and maturity profiles against peer cohorts to showcase how the portfolio is constructed.
Use issuer-level mark dispersion data to support valuation narratives with independent market context.
Leverage BDC Indices to assess portfolio construction and performance.
Benchmark before you deploy
Benchmark new potential lending opportunities against comparable issuers and instruments in Preqin's proprietary transaction intelligence dataset.
Track how the market is evolving and see how similar credits are structured, priced and marked across the market.
Enhance risk assessment and valuation governance
Compare your marks to peer marks on the same issuers using Issuer Deep Dive and mark dispersion views. Surface where marks diverge most materially so the risk team can investigate before they are challenged externally.
Monitor stressed and distressed buckets, maturity walls, and sector health to detect risk before it surfaces in fund-level returns.
Bring external, committee-ready evidence to valuation and risk committee discussions rather than relying solely on internal assumptions – supported by AI-powered research for rapid, structured outputs.
Map your competitive positioning
Leverage cohort-level comparisons by strategy, vehicle type, lien, and sector to benchmark your positioning against the market and identify where concentration is low and where differentiation is possible across the BDC and direct lending universe.
Track sector, lien, maturity, and pricing trends using consistent classifications and asset-level indices to inform deployment strategy and new fund positioning with a clearer view of market direction.
Position the fund or strategy relative to peers with evidence – use co-ownership overlap and peer cohort analysis to build a market-grounded differentiation narrative for fundraising and strategy reviews.
