FactSet and Nasdaq Private Market Partner to Bring Greater Transparency to Private Markets Data
New collaboration will bring Capitalization Table data to FactSet Workstation, strengthening and expanding its private markets offering for investment professionals
NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 20, 2026 -- FactSet, a leading global intelligence and AI solutions provider to the financial markets, has entered into a partnership with Nasdaq Private Market (NPM), a leading provider of liquidity, capital and investment solutions for private companies and investors, to integrate Capitalization (Cap) Table data into its platform. The intelligence sourced from NPM is expected to support more informed due diligence, valuation analysis, and deal sourcing - areas where reliable, structured data has historically been difficult to obtain.
The partnership comes at a particularly relevant moment. While private markets have grown significantly over the past decade, transparency, reporting standards, and data-sharing practices have struggled to keep pace. As investment professionals across all firm types are allocating more capital to private assets, the need for accurate, structured private markets data has grown sharply.
FactSet's collaboration with NPM directly addresses this need. The integrated solution will give investment professionals a deeper insight into private company ownership structures and how financing transactions, such as new funding rounds, secondary sales, and dilutive events, affect ownership stakes and capital structure over time.
Critically, the Cap Table data sourced through NPM is supported by verifiable, auditable documentation and filings, rather than relying solely on modelled ownership estimates. This will provide financial and advisory firms with a higher degree of confidence in the data underpinning their investment and dealmaking workflows.
The NPM data also complements the private-company, funding, deal, and M&A data FactSet already provides. This enables clients to develop a more complete and connected view of private-market activity, spanning a company's early funding history through to its current ownership and capital structure.
"Private markets have grown significantly, but the underlying ownership data hasn't kept pace. As a result, firms have largely relied on modelled estimates rather than source documents. As an active secondary trading venue and private company share settlement engine, Nasdaq Private Market operates differently, working directly with the legal documentation that underpins private company ownership. The unique access to high-quality source data forms the basis of our partnership. The agreement also reflects FactSet’s ongoing commitment to expanding our private markets capabilities and ensuring clients have access to comprehensive, high-quality data across both public and private markets, all within a single platform." - said Eric Weitzman, Senior Vice President, Senior Director of Data Partnerships at FactSet.
"Cap table data and in particular, share-class level information, is fundamental to how investment professionals evaluate private company investment opportunities and potential outcomes, and we are pleased to be working with FactSet to make this data more accessible to the market," - said James Brooks, Chief Strategy Officer at Nasdaq Private Market.
The partnership reflects FactSet’s continued investment in private markets data capabilities and commitment to provide a top-grade trusted financial intelligence for all firm types across public and private markets within a unified ecosystem.
