Dun & Bradstreet, Singaporean Platform Tap Private Markets Trend

Wealth managers and other investors are getting keener on putting money into private markets, and that means information about non-public companies is increasingly important.

Private markets platform CapBridge has teamed up with Dun & Bradstreet, the business information group, to offer investors data about the unquoted business sector in which they are increasingly holding in their portfolios.

Together with Singapore Commercial Credit Bureau, Singapore's credit bureau for small and medium enterprises, Dun & Bradstreet will offer investors in CapBridge a suite of solutions, such as company registration details, litigation, bankruptcy, winding up and payment information, and other information.

At a time when investors, such as family offices and wealth managers, are keen on private equity and other asset classes falling outside listed markets, getting data about non-public firms has taken on a new edge.

"The nature of business intelligence is constantly evolving and there have been more use cases of how D&B's data could help enhance the due diligence and screening efforts of entities worldwide,” Audrey Chia, chief executive of Dun & Bradstreet, said.

CapBridge has a Capital Markets Services Licence and is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Singapore Exchange (SGX) is a strategic partner and shareholder.
