Acuity Analytics integrates Preqin with Agent Fleet by Acuity Analytics to accelerate private markets research
Preqin’s Integration with Agent Fleet combines private markets data, domain expertise and agentic AI to help investment professionals move from information to insight more efficiently
Private markets investors have more data at their disposal than ever. The biggest challenge they now face is how to identify the things that really matter and doing so quickly enough to inform increasingly complex investment decisions.
Against a backdrop of expanding private capital markets, rising information volumes and growing pressure on investment teams to improve productivity, firms are looking for ways to improve research and analysis without compromising the rigor that underpins successful investment outcomes.
It is within this context that Acuity Analytics has integrated Preqin’s comprehensive private markets data with Agent Fleet, by Acuity Analytics – its agentic AI platform.
The integration brings together one of the industry’s most widely used sources of private markets intelligence with a platform designed to apply AI to specific research and analytical workflows. The aim is not to replace investment professionals completely. Moreover, it’s to help them navigate large volumes of information more efficiently and focus their expertise where it delivers the greatest value: interpretation, judgement and decision-making.
Private markets teams routinely spend significant time sourcing, organising and analysing fragmented information across markets, funds, managers and investment opportunities. By enabling Agent Fleet to access Preqin data within defined workflows, investment professionals can accelerate activities such as market screening, fund research, benchmarking, due diligence and investment analysis.
The development reflects a broader trend across financial services, where firms are moving beyond experimentation with generative AI and towards practical applications that can be embedded into day-to-day workflows. Rather than viewing AI as a standalone technology, many organisations are increasingly looking to combine trusted data sources, deep domain expertise and automation to improve how work gets done.
For Acuity Analytics, the integration aligns with a simple principle: technology creates the greatest value when it enhances existing expertise rather than attempting to replace it.
“Our approach to AI is grounded in the realities of how investment professionals work,” said Jon O’Donnell, Chief Executive Officer at Acuity Analytics. “The opportunity isn’t simply to automate tasks. It’s to help teams access relevant information faster, reduce time spent on repetitive activities and create more capacity for the analysis and judgement that ultimately drive investment decisions.”
Cameron Allan, Global Partnerships Lead at Acuity Analytics, said: “Preqin is an important source of intelligence across private markets, and connecting that data with AgentFleet creates an opportunity to build highly relevant, specialist workflows that help investment teams get to insight faster. It is a strong example of our partnership strategy: bringing together best-in-class capabilities and applying them to real client challenges.”
The partnership also reflects Acuity Analytics’ wider strategy of connecting Agent Fleet with the technology and data ecosystems already used by financial institutions. Rather than requiring firms to overhaul established processes, the platform is designed to sit alongside existing workflows and bring together the data, expertise and intelligence needed to support better decision-making.
As private markets continue to grow in scale and complexity, the ability to extract meaningful insight from increasingly large and fragmented datasets is becoming a competitive differentiator. The combination of specialist data, domain expertise and agentic AI represents a further step towards helping investment teams meet that challenge.
