A Preqin Alternative, Built for Luxury Alternative Assets
Preqin is the reference source for financial alternatives such as private equity and hedge funds. When alternative assets means watches, art and classic cars rather than funds and deals, ALT/FNDATA is the equivalent source of truth.
Preqin and ALT/FNDATA, side by side
Preqin is the reference data platform for financial alternatives, serving private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt. ALT/FNDATA brings the same depth of data and monitoring to luxury watches, fine art, classic cars, jewelry and gems, designer handbags, wine and spirits, motorcycles, and aircraft. The two cover different worlds; this is how they compare.
