Private Markets have outgrown the infrastructure built to support them. Practices designed for a smaller, institutionally held asset class now struggle under the volume, complexity, and participant diversity of a market that has become systemic infrastructure. As capital inflows continue to accelerate, what is needed to ensure these markets operate with the data quality, transparency, and safeguards their scale now demands?
Join the Data Foundation for a webinar examining the data infrastructure gaps putting Private Markets, and the millions of Americans now invested in them, at risk. Once limited to sophisticated institutional investors, the market now draws in 401(k) plans, public and private pensions, and retail investors accessing private credit and equity through interval funds and similar structures. Most of these investors have limited ability to assess what they hold, while the market continues to rely on custom documentation, inconsistent reporting, and no common identifiers, infrastructure that was built for a far smaller market.
This session will explore findings from The Impact of Data Quality, Data Standards, and Fraud Mitigants in Private Markets, a new report prepared for the Data Foundation by DIACSUS Advisory and Consulting. The report finds that incomplete data, delayed reporting, and a lack of shared standards are creating systemic risk, and that AI tools used for reporting, compliance, and fraud detection only make it worse when the data behind them is inconsistent or unverified. Pointing to the pre-2008 OTC Derivatives market as a precedent, our panelists will discuss why standardization has to come before safe automation, and what steps Congress and the Executive Branch can take to bring Private Markets oversight in line with the market's growing importance.
Hear directly from the report's authors and leading practitioners on what it will take to bring stronger data standards, transparency, and safeguards to one of the fastest-growing segments of the financial system.
