FactSet Partners with Valutico to Integrate Private-Markets Valuation into Cobalt

FactSet has announced a partnership with Vienna-based valuation software provider Valutico to deliver an integrated valuation workflow for private capital markets, anchored within FactSet’s Cobalt portfolio monitoring platform.

Under the partnership, portfolio company financials collected in Cobalt flow directly into Valutico’s valuation environment, where analysts can run income-, market- and asset-based methodologies including discounted cash flow (DCF), trading multiples, transaction multiples, venture capital methods and leveraged buyout (LBO) models. Outputs – including enterprise value, equity value and waterfall calculations – flow back into Cobalt and are tracked alongside portfolio performance and reporting. Valutico’s platform draws on FactSet market data, including public company financials, estimates, comps and M&A transaction multiples.

The partnership comes amid a broader push by major data and analytics vendors – including BlackRock with its Aladdin/Preqin integration and JP Morgan with Private Market Data Solutions – to centralise private-markets workflows around a single system of record.

FactSet Integrates Private Markets Valuation Workflow with Valutico

FactSet has created an integrated valuation workflow for private capital markets in collaboration with valuation technology provider Valutico.

The tie-up connects portfolio data, valuation modelling and reporting into a single system to replace manual spreadsheet tasks.

Financial data from Cobalt, FactSet’s monitoring tool, flows into the Valutico platform where analysts can apply income, market and asset-based methodologies.

Finalised enterprise and equity values return to the Cobalt system to be tracked alongside performance metrics. Analysts can access FactSet market data and transaction multiples within the workflow, which expands on the company’s existing portfolio monitoring and investor reporting tools.

“The methodology, breadth, auditability and consistency required across a growing portfolio of companies demands a purpose-built platform,” said Emily Monaghan, Factset senior vice president and senior director of private capital. “Valutico brings that, and with FactSet’s market data – public company financials, estimates, comps, and transaction multiples – natively integrated into the workflow, our clients get a complete solution that is unique in the market.”

Regnology Finalizes Moody’s Acquisition as Reporting and Balance-Sheet Controls Converge

Regnology has completed its acquisition of Moody’s Regulatory Reporting & Asset and Liability Management Solutions business, adding another major transaction to a strategy that is taking the firm deeper into the intersection of regulatory reporting, risk, finance and balance-sheet management.

The deal adds Moody’s capabilities across Basel III compliance, IFRS 9 impairment, large-bank asset and liability management, Solvency II insurance reporting, and prudential and statistical regulatory reporting. The strategic value appears to lie in broadening Regnology’s coverage around a common operating problem: how institutions govern, control and explain regulatory data across risk, finance and reporting processes.

The transaction follows Regnology’s completion of the Wolters Kluwer Finance, Risk & Regulatory Reporting acquisition in December 2025. Together, the two deals reinforce Regnology’s expansion from core regulatory reporting into a broader platform model spanning balance-sheet risk, asset-liability management (ALM), capital, liquidity and supervisory reporting..

Regnology is framing the Moody’s acquisition around its Straight-Through Reporting (STR) vision, with the acquired solutions expected to strengthen Regnology Reporting Hub, Regnology Risk Hub and Regnology Finance Hub. The company says these solution lines will be progressively onboarded onto Ascend, its modular cloud-native platform, where shared services, scale and operational resilience can be applied while preserving domain-specific strengths. The company is also positioning RGI, its governed intelligence layer, as part of the architecture for reducing fragmentation and manual intervention across the regulatory lifecycle.

Rob Mackay, Chief Executive Officer of Regnology, said: “The completion of this transaction is a powerful catalyst for advancing our ambition to build the compliance operating system of the future and to break down traditional silos between Chief Risk Officers and Chief Financial Officers. By combining expanded functional coverage with deep regulatory expertise and modern, governed technology, we are uniquely positioned to help institutions strengthen control frameworks, increase transparency, and turn compliance into a source of insight and confidence.”

For Moody’s clients moving across to Regnology, the immediate emphasis is continuity. Regnology says the transition will be supported by a global team of more than 2,500 professionals, including more than 1,000 regulatory, risk and service specialists.

The acquisition comes as firms face heavier demands around governance, auditability and the management of complex regulatory data. That context gives the transaction broader significance: Regnology is building out a platform and operating model designed to support reporting, risk and finance teams within a more integrated data, workflow and control environment.

SAP Buys Dremio Data Lakehouse to Support AI, Data Integration

SAP has acquired data lakehouse platform Dremio, enabling the enterprise applications provider to integrate its own and third-party data in its SAP Business Data Cloud and to support analytical and agentic artificial intelligence workloads.
The deal, which remains subject to regulatory approval, would help eliminate bottlenecks to take customers from fragmented data to governed intelligence on a single open platform, the companies said.

“Enterprise AI doesn’t stall because the models aren’t good enough; it stalls because the data isn’t ready for AI agents,” said Philipp Herzig, SAP chief technology officer. “We can now take customers from raw, fragmented data to governed, AI-ready intelligence on a single open platform.”

The platform will use Apache Iceberg as a native foundation to unify data sources without requiring format conversion.

The agreement follows SAP investments in open-source projects and is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.

TS Imagine Integrates OpenYield to Enhance Fixed Income Trading Efficiency

TS Imagine has announced the integration of OpenYield, an SEC-registered alternative trading system (ATS), into its TradeSmart platform. This partnership provides TradeSmart users with direct access to OpenYield’s all-to-all marketplace, facilitating automated liquidity for municipal, corporate, and government bonds.
