Premialab

What Premialab does

Premialab is a cloud-based quantitative investment analytics platform that aggregates and standardizes data on over 7,000 systematic investment strategies from 18 leading global investment banks, processing more than 15 million data points daily. The platform is built around a core database that integrates Morningstar funds/ETFs, thematics, bank systematic strategies, and Premialab's proprietary Pure Factors® benchmarks, with APIs enabling integration of client-private datasets. On top of this data layer sit four modular solutions: the Premialab Platform (pre-trade diligence, asset allocation, portfolio construction, post-trade reporting), Risk & Regulatory Reporting (position-based risk monitoring with stress tests, sensitivities, and VaR across asset classes and OTC derivatives), Independent Price Verification (daily NAV reconciliation), and the Pure Factors Model (proprietary multi-asset factor benchmarks). In October 2025, Premialab extended beyond analytics into execution with the launch of the world's first QIS Index Futures in partnership with Eurex, providing centrally cleared listed contracts as an alternative to OTC swaps for accessing systematic strategies.

The company monetizes primarily through enterprise subscription contracts to its data and analytics platform, complemented by data licensing to institutional clients, with quote-based annual pricing and a sales model restricted to Professional Investors under the relevant regulatory frameworks. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, organized regionally across offices in Dubai (headquarters), Hong Kong, London, New York, Paris, and Sydney, with strategic distribution partnerships including Nasdaq eVestment. Customer segments are horizontal across institutional buy-side: asset managers, asset owners (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments), and investment consultants. Named institutional customers include Generali Investments Partners, Wilshire, Veritas Pension Insurance, Lægernes Pension, AMP Investments, Lombard Odier Investment Managers, State Super, Union Investment, AXA Investment Managers, Amundi, PSERS, Dai-ichi Life, and others managing over €500 billion in AUM each in some cases.

Premialab was founded in Hong Kong in 2016 by Adrien Géliot (CEO) and Pierre Trecourt (COO), expanded to Europe in 2018 (Paris) and North America in 2019 (New York), and relocated headquarters to Dubai (DIFC Innovation Hub). In December 2025, the company raised $220 million in strategic growth capital led by KKR (Next Generation Technology Growth Fund III) with participation from existing investor Balderton Capital — KKR's first platform investment in the Gulf region — with proceeds earmarked for global expansion, product development, and scaling of the Eurex execution offering.
