Premialab has secured a $220 million growth investment led by KKR, with continued support from existing investor Balderton. Headquartered in the UAE, Premialab delivers data, analytics, and risk management solutions for quantitative investing. The funding marks a major milestone for the company as demand for systematic investment strategies continues to rise across global markets.
Serving a Rapidly Growing QIS Market
Premialab operates at the core of the quantitative investment strategies market. This segment now represents nearly $800 billion in assets under management. Institutional investors rely on accurate data, clear benchmarks, and robust risk tools. Premialab built its platform to meet this exact need.
The platform helps clients:
- Access thousands of QIS strategies
- Benchmark performance across banks
- Analyze risk with precision
- Improve investment decisions
Since its founding in 2016 by Adrien Géliot and Pierre Trecourt, Premialab has focused on independence and transparency. This focus has helped it become a global reference point for QIS data.
A Proprietary Data Advantage
Premialab has built a proprietary database sourced directly from major global investment banks. The platform now covers more than 7,000 QIS strategies. This depth gives clients a clear view of performance, structure, and risk across the market.
Key strengths of the platform include:
- Direct data collection from sell side banks
- Standardized analytics across strategies
- Consistent risk measurement tools
- Institutional grade reliability
This approach positions Premialab as a neutral and trusted standard in a complex market.
How the New Capital Will Drive Growth
The $220 million investment will fuel global expansion and product development. Premialab plans to strengthen its core systems while scaling its execution offering. The execution product was co developed with Eurex and expands access to QIS strategies.
The funding will support:
- Expansion across global financial hubs
- Continued product innovation
- Deeper analytics and transparency
- Growth of the execution platform
Premialab already operates in Dubai, New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Sydney. The new capital will extend this global footprint.
Strategic Value of the KKR Partnership
KKR brings long term capital and deep technology growth expertise. Through its Technology Growth Equity platform, KKR has invested around $24 billion in tech focused companies since 2016. The Premialab deal marks KKR’s first investment in the Gulf region under its Next Generation Technology Growth Fund III.
KKR adds value through:
- Global institutional relationships
- Operational scaling experience
- Technology focused growth support
Balderton will remain a key partner as Premialab enters its next phase.
