S&P Global announced a $1.8 billion purchase of private‑market data firm With Intelligence, a move that will boost the company’s data‑analytics reach in the fast‑growing alternative‑investment sector.
The acquisition brings With Intelligence’s proprietary market‑intelligence platform into S&P Global’s suite of financial‑data services, giving the firm a richer view of private‑equity, real‑estate, and infrastructure deals worldwide. According to S&P Global, the deal will give investors and portfolio managers deeper, real‑time data on deal activity and valuations that were previously hard to access.
With Intelligence built its reputation on cutting‑edge analytics that help investors spot trends and predict outcomes before rivals do. Its platform merges crowdsourced deal flow, regulatory filings, and AI‑driven insights, creating a one‑stop resource for private‑market research. “Adding With Intelligence to our portfolio will accelerate our growth in alternative investments,” said S&P Global’s chief technology officer in a statement.
The transaction reflects growing demand for better data in private markets, where transparency has lagged behind public markets. The deal also positions S&P Global to compete more effectively with Bloomberg, FactSet and other data providers that are expanding into private‑equity analytics.
While the company has not yet disclosed how the new platform will be rolled out, analysts expect the integration to boost S&P Global’s subscription revenue and help it capture a larger share of the $500 billion private‑market data industry. Investors will likely keep a close eye on how the combined service performs in the coming quarters, as qualitative data becomes an increasingly critical component of investment decisions.
