Arcesium, a prominent provider of investment lifecycle and data management technology, has unveiled Aquata® Marketplace, a first-of-its-kind interoperable data ecosystem for institutional investment firms. The platform connects users of Arcesium’s Aquata data platform with pre-configured integrations to 20 third-party partners, including data providers, fund administrators, and software vendors.

The Marketplace is designed to simplify and accelerate data workflows, giving investment firms faster access to analytics, visualization, and reporting capabilities without the time-intensive task of building individual integrations. By enabling out-of-the-box connectivity, Aquata Marketplace allows teams to launch analytics workflows in days instead of weeks, enhancing efficiency in research, portfolio management, performance analysis, and regulatory reporting.

Bryan Dougherty, CTO of Arcesium, emphasized the strategic value: “Firms must wrangle a multitude of data connectors to access the inputs needed to enable advanced analytical outputs. Aquata Marketplace bridges these critical data gaps, unlocks interoperability, and enables organizations to focus on data projects that drive a competitive edge.” He noted that the Marketplace allows firms to redeploy data engineering resources, fuel AI projects, and interact with data in more impactful ways.

The launch comes as AI adoption accelerates across asset management, hedge funds, and private markets funds. By offering rapid access to a harmonized view of public and private assets across all fund structures, Aquata Marketplace positions firms to be AI-ready while maintaining operational efficiency. The platform’s low-code interface ensures accessibility for business users, eliminating significant setup times and costs associated with connecting to market and alternative data sources, systems of record, and risk and performance platforms.

Current partners include Accelex, Confluence, ESG Book, PM Insights, and other key industry data and software providers, counterparties, and fund administrators. This growing ecosystem ensures that institutional investors can quickly harmonize their data, supporting faster insights and more intelligent decision-making.

Aquata Marketplace is now available to all Aquata platform users, extending the platform’s capabilities in data ingestion, harmonization, governance, analytics, reporting, and distribution, while fostering interoperability across the institutional investment ecosystem.
