Meet Fundsqore, bringing fund and market intelligence to private markets

The problem

Private markets are growing, but the information professionals rely on remains fragmented, difficult to compare and often time-consuming to analyse. Fund managers, investors and service providers work with vast amounts of data, yet gaining a clear picture of fund performance, liquidity, governance and market developments remains a challenge.

What Fundsqore does

Fundsqore is changing that by building a comprehensive fund and market intelligence platform that brings together data, analytics, benchmarking and analytical tools in one place. Rather than simply providing access to information, Fundsqore helps professionals put that intelligence to work, improving decision-making, increasing efficiency and creating tangible value for their businesses, investors and clients.

From fund analytics and benchmarking to secondary market intelligence and investor reporting, Fundsqore brings together capabilities that have traditionally required multiple data sources, systems and manual processes. Fundsqore's ambition is to become an integral part of how private market professionals analyse investments, manage funds, serve clients and grow their businesses.

Built with AI

Built with AI at its core, Fundsqore automates time-consuming data collection, processing and analysis while maintaining transparent methodologies and appropriate human oversight. This allows professionals to spend less time preparing information and more time applying their expertise, exercising professional judgement and making informed decisions.

For fund managers

For fund managers, Fundsqore goes beyond performance analysis. The platform helps them understand and demonstrate fund performance, assess liquidity, strengthen governance and provide greater transparency to their investors. By delivering clearer insights and more informative reporting, managers can strengthen relationships with existing LPs, demonstrate their value to prospective investors, support their own fundraising and investor marketing, and differentiate their funds in an increasingly competitive market. This allows managers to deliver greater value to their LPs while strengthening their own commercial position.

For institutional investors

For institutional investors, Fundsqore provides a clearer basis for evaluating investment opportunities, comparing funds, understanding portfolio exposures and monitoring existing investments. Access to more consistent and comparable intelligence helps investors conduct due diligence more efficiently, assess risks and make better-informed capital allocation and portfolio management decisions.

For the wider ecosystem

The commercial opportunities extend across the wider private markets ecosystem. Law firms, investment advisers, fund administrators, consultants and other service providers can use Fundsqore's intelligence to enhance their client offerings, improve operational efficiency and identify new business opportunities. Whether supporting transaction analysis, informing client discussions or developing new services, Fundsqore enables these organisations to deliver greater value to their clients, strengthen relationships and create additional revenue opportunities.

Coverage

With a particular focus on real estate and infrastructure, and coverage extending to private debt, secondaries and natural resources funds, Fundsqore has the potential to serve a broad range of professionals across international markets, creating opportunities for long-term growth and expansion.

The ambition

Ultimately, their ambition is not simply to make private market information more accessible, but to transform how it is used to create financial, operational and strategic value across the industry.

How it started

After years of working closely with fund managers, investors and other financial institutions, we saw how much time and effort went into finding, validating and analysing information that should be readily accessible.

Whether comparing fund performance, assessing liquidity, preparing investor reports or understanding market developments, professionals were often working with fragmented data, disconnected tools and manual processes.

We also recognised a broader commercial challenge. Valuable information was not being used to its full potential. Fund managers needed better ways to demonstrate their performance and value to investors, institutional investors needed more reliable intelligence to inform decisions, and advisers and service providers needed more effective ways to strengthen their offerings and support their clients.

We founded Fundsqore because we believed there had to be a better way. Our vision is to bring the information, analytical capabilities and market intelligence professionals need into one accessible platform, helping organisations make better decisions, work more efficiently and create greater value for their investors, clients and businesses.
