Premialab

Headquartered in the UAE, Premialab raised USD 220 million in a growth investment from funds and accounts managed by KKR. The investment will be made primarily through KKR’s Next Generation Technology Growth Fund III. This represents the NGT platform’s first investment in the Gulf region.

“This strategic partnership with KKR marks an important milestone for the business and provides us with the resources and long-term support to accelerate the development of the systematic investing ecosystem. Working closely with banks and strategic partners, we will continue to scale our platform globally, enabling us to better serve clients with deeper analytics, greater transparency, and improved efficiency,” said  Adrien Geliot, CEO of Premialab. 

Risk Management

Founded in 2016 by Adrien Géliot and Pierre Trecourt, Premialab is a global provider of data, analytics, and risk management solutions for quantitative investing. It focuses on the AUM Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) market. The platform’s headquarters are in Dubai, and it operates in New York, London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

It enables its customers to make optimal investment and risk management decisions. This is achieved through accessing and benchmarking QIS strategies, analysing their performance, and providing a suite of related risk analytics.

Looking forward, the investment will support the platform’s global expansion. It also aims to support the growth and development of core operational systems. Additionally, it seeks to support the scaling of its newly launched execution product, which it codeveloped with Eurex to broaden access to QIS strategies.
