Preqin is a privately owned company headquartered in the UK, founded in 2003 with approximately 1270 employees and a main product in financial services. The company provides data, insights, and solutions for the alternative assets industry.
On April 30, 2026, a Preqin research note on mapping software exposure across BDC portfolios indicated that the disruptive influence of AI has prompted some market participants to question business models, resulting in BDC redemptions due to concerns about potential credit events. Also on April 30, the firm released trending data reports examining the concentration of BDC lending and the stability of PIK loans in private credit. This research follows Preqin data shared on April 27 with Alternative Credit Investor, which projected the business development company (BDC) market to triple to $1,373.2 billion by 2030, despite recent investor jitters regarding software exposure. The firm's data anticipates BDC assets under management (AUM) will reach $565.3 billion in 2026, up from $471.9 billion last year. Earlier in the month, on April 16, Preqin also published insights on remedial actions following key person events in investment funds.
