The combined offering represents a material competitive enhancement for institutional investors and fund managers.

Users gain a 360° view of capital flows across the complete fund lifecycle: from capital formation and investor identification through deal sourcing, capital deployment, and ultimately exit and value realization.
Platform capabilities include identifying relevant investors based on investment intentions, manager preferences, previous investment activity, and active mandates; benchmarking fund performance against peer sets and market indices; sourcing opportunities in privately held companies and assets before competing market participants; tracking investor positioning across current and historical investments while monitoring strategy and personnel changes; and assessing market dynamics across the private markets industry. These features address core institutional buy-side functions in capital formation, investment sourcing, and performance analytics.

Contemporaneously, the firm enhanced Capital IQ Pro with generative AI-powered capabilities and added ProntoNLP analytics alongside expanded datasets in fixed income, biopharma, and energy. This multi-sector expansion reflects S&P Global's strategy to deepen data coverage and artificial intelligence integration across its Market Intelligence division, positioning Capital IQ Pro as a consolidated platform for institutional portfolio managers and alternative investors managing multi-asset class allocations.
