In short

Alternatives data is the fund-level information allocators need on hedge funds, private equity, private credit, real assets and liquid alternatives: Returns, NAVs, AUM, terms, exposures, documents and the statistics derived from them. AlternativeSoft's alternatives data platform reconciles that data from Bloomberg, Morningstar, Preqin, Pitchbook, HFR, eVestment, Albourne, BarclayHedge and EurekaHedge into one database of 500,000+ funds, adds your own funds and managed accounts, computes 4,000+ statistics on every record and delivers it in the platform, Excel, Power BI, the API and through MCP to AI assistants.

Why reconciled alternatives data

The vendor overlap problem

No single provider covers alternatives. HFR, EurekaHedge and BarclayHedge overlap on hedge funds with different names and histories; Preqin and Pitchbook overlap on private markets; Morningstar and Lipper overlap on liquid alternatives. An allocator subscribing to several ends up with the same fund four times and four different track records. Reconciling the providers into one record per fund, with the analytics computed on that record, is the work an alternatives data platform has to do before any analysis is trustworthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

What is alternatives data?

Fund-level data on alternative investments: Hedge fund and private markets returns, NAVs, AUM, terms, exposures, cash flows and documents, and the statistics derived from them. It differs from market data on listed securities because the funds report rather than trade.

Which providers are included?

Bloomberg, Morningstar, Lipper, Preqin, Pitchbook, HFR, eVestment, Albourne, BarclayHedge and EurekaHedge, plus managers who report directly through the marketplace, reconciled into one database.

Do I need separate subscriptions to the providers?

Access to each provider's data within AlternativeSoft depends on your licence and the provider's terms. The platform reconciles whichever sources you are entitled to with the data you hold yourself.

How is the data delivered?

In the AlternativeSoft platform, through the Excel add-in, the Power BI connector, the REST API and through MCP to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants.

Can I combine the data with my own records?

Yes. Internal funds, managed accounts, custom indices and your own capital statements are imported and treated on equal terms with the providers' data.

Can I run this from Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Yes. Through AlternativeSoft MCP, any MCP-ready assistant can request these analytics in plain language. The answer is computed on your own AlternativeSoft data and the 500,000+ funds in the database, not generated from the model's memory, and MCP is read-only.

How much does the alternatives data platform cost?

AlternativeSoft is licensed annually by users and modules, not by assets or query volume. Pricing follows a demonstration on your own funds, and a free trial is available afterwards.
