Transaction Intelligence

Confidently validate valuation assumptions

Private market deal performance and valuation multiples are elusive yet essential when valuing unlisted assets. Transaction Intelligence enables you to analyze a large set of private market deals and the operating metrics of their underlying assets using a taxonomy of over 200+ tags to support your valuation assumptions.

Improve risk monitoring

Providing transparency on what drives portfolio decisions and performance is becoming paramount, as pressure continues to grow from regulators, investors, and auditors. Transaction Intelligence helps you ensure your valuation policies are based on real market conditions. With the ability to build custom benchmarks, you can analyze subsets of deals that match your criteria using filters such as size, region, strategy, dates, performance, and asset operating metrics.

Enhance due diligence

To effectively assess market conditions, you need a whole-of-market view – including data on valuation multiples, leverage used in deals, and loss ratios across markets, sectors, and strategies. Transaction Intelligence covers $5.4tn of invested capital, representing 68,200+ private market deals from 7,000+ funds, enabling you to make informed decisions when investing in private markets.

Analyze fair value adjustments

Bring more transparency to asset pricing by better understanding fair value adjustments. Transaction Intelligence helps you understand whether adjustments made to private asset valuations are in line with the rest of the market. Benchmark fair value adjustments against a selected cohort of transactions to ensure valuations are accurate, reliable, and defensible.

Save valuable time and resources

Building and updating customized performance reports is time-consuming. Transaction Intelligence enables you to produce highly tailored portfolio reports in minutes, using powerful and standardized outputs and analytics. These reports include pre-built box plots, risk return, TVPI composition, loss ratio, multiple trends, and correlation analysis charts. You can also refresh and export these charts and their data to populate reports.
