FLX Networks, innovative award-winning network that transforms how asset managers, insurance carriers, wealth management firms, and institutional investors connect and scale, has announced exclusive partnership with Blue Vault to bring comprehensive alternatives investment data and intelligence to FLX Analytics.
Blue Vault specializes in standardizing and analyzing alternative investment data, bringing structure to marketplace where information often fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to compare. Its dataset includes more than 300 alternative investment offerings, thousands of standardized data points and more than 17 years of historical performance data across areas including real estate, private credit and other alternative investment structures.
Through integration with FLX Analytics, members will be able to evaluate alternatives marketplace, filter opportunities, compare investments, support selection decisions and track performance over time.
"Alternatives have become an increasingly important part of the wealth management landscape, and asset managers need better intelligence to understand where opportunities exist and how they should allocate resources," said Brian Moran, Founder and CEO of FLX Networks. "Our objective is to help asset managers better plan their strategy, marketing and sales efforts while also making sure financial advisors and wealth management professionals can seamlessly access the data they need to evaluate this growing category. Bringing Blue Vault's alternatives intelligence together with FLX Analytics allows us to do both."
FLX Analytics historically provided investment intelligence across approximately $50 trillion of mutual fund and ETF assets. With addition of Blue Vault's alternatives dataset, FLX Analytics will provide members with more comprehensive view across both traditional and alternative investment products.
"We've always believed that the value of data increases when it is connected to the people and organizations that can actually act on it," said Stacy Chitty, CEO, Blue Vault. "FLX Networks has built a unique marketplace across asset management, insurance and wealth management, and that makes them an ideal partner for Blue Vault. Our partnership brings together Blue Vault's depth of alternatives intelligence with FLX's connectivity, technology and engagement capabilities. We believe that combination can make a meaningful difference in how firms access, understand and use alternatives data."
"FLX is not simply trying to aggregate more data or more products," Moran added. "We are focused on bringing together the information, technology and solutions that can help our members operate more efficiently and make better decisions. Blue Vault is a great example of that philosophy - taking a complex and increasingly important segment of the market and making the intelligence more accessible through a platform our members already use."
