Comparison · GPX vs Preqin
Preqin gives you the database.
GPX gives you the matches.
Preqin is the institutional reference library for private-markets data, including private debt and infrastructure. But it is a database you search, not an engine that reads your deal and returns the counterparties that fit. GPX turns one document into a ranked, briefed shortlist of lenders and investors.
Preqin is excellent at telling you what exists across private markets. It does not tell you which specific lenders and investors fit this deal, why, or how to reach them. Closing that gap, from data to matched capital, is what GPX does.
The one row that decides it

Where one stops, the other starts
LP profiles, fund performance, fundraising and deal data across PE, VC, real estate, infrastructure and private debt. The gold standard for research, benchmarks and league tables.
One teaser in, a ranked shortlist of lenders and investors out, with appetite scores, named decision-makers and mapped warm paths. Built for sponsors and managers who need a specific deal placed, not a market survey.
320MW solar · Iberia · EUR 180m senior debt + equity
A real-asset brief in front of both platforms.
Lists funds and lenders that exist in infrastructure and private debt. You do the matching, the appetite read and the outreach yourself, from the database outwards.
Ranked lenders and investors briefed against the actual structure, with named credit officers, mandate fit and warm paths, ready to action.
When Preqin is the better choice
If you need broad market data, benchmarks and league tables across the whole of private markets for research, strategy or LP reporting, Preqin is the gold standard. Its breadth and depth as a reference database are hard to match.
GPX is the better tool when you need a specific deal matched to specific lenders and investors with appetite, decision-makers and warm paths. Different job, different product. Many users run both.
