Nasdaq Completes Acquisition of Dasseti, Deepening Nasdaq eVestment’s AI and Private Markets Capabilities

NEW YORK, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Dasseti, an AI-powered due diligence and monitoring platform for investment consultants, institutional investors, and asset managers. Dasseti’s capabilities will be integrated into Nasdaq eVestment™, extending the platform across the full manager research, due diligence, and monitoring lifecycle. First announced on July 23, 2026, the acquisition builds on a relationship that began with an early-stage investment by Nasdaq Ventures in 2022. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Institutional teams operate across an expanding universe of managers, strategies, and asset classes, particularly in private markets, where data is less standardized and reporting requirements are more demanding. Nasdaq eVestment operates at the center of that universe, connecting roughly 4,800 contributing asset managers with more than 1,200 asset owners and intermediaries, powering more than $90 trillion in assets under management across 112,000+ products in 109 countries. Additionally, private markets coverage now includes more than 16,000 managers and 95,000 funds, all accessible via Nasdaq eVestment, global data providers, and customer relationship management platforms.

Dasseti applies AI to the due diligence questionnaires, request for proposals (RFPs), and ongoing monitoring that generate insight on how managers operate. The platform covers 17,000 asset managers and general partners (GPs) representing $34 trillion in assets under management, one of the industry’s largest due diligence and monitoring ecosystems. Integrated into Nasdaq eVestment, those capabilities are expected to accelerate response times and improve data quality – giving consultants and institutional investors a complete path from screening through selection and ongoing monitoring in a single environment, while unifying the RFP, due diligence questionnaire (DDQ), and database management experience for asset managers.

“Much of the due diligence and RFP process still happens outside core research platforms, in a patchwork of spreadsheets, PDFs, and email threads,” said Oliver Albers, Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Capital Access Platforms, Nasdaq. “With Dasseti, we’re bringing AI-powered due diligence and monitoring into Nasdaq eVestment, creating a more connected experience that helps institutional investors move from research to decision-making and ongoing oversight with greater efficiency and confidence.”
