KKR and Premialab Announce $220m Strategic Investment to Support Next Stage of Global Expansion

LONDON, DUBAI and HONG KONG, 16 December 2025 – Premialab, a global provider of data, analytics and risk management solutions for quantitative investing, today announces a $220m strategic growth investment from KKR, a leading international investment firm. As part of the transaction, KKR will lead the investment alongside existing shareholder Balderton.

Established in 2016 by Adrien Géliot and Pierre Trecourt, Premialab operates a global platform serving the approximately $800bn AUM Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) market. The company enables clients to make more informed investment and risk management decisions through access to, and benchmarking of, QIS strategies, detailed performance analysis, and a comprehensive suite of risk analytics tools. Since inception, Premialab has developed a proprietary QIS database sourced directly from major global sell-side investment banks. Today, the database includes more than 7,000 QIS strategies, positioning Premialab as the market reference for QIS data, analytics and risk management worldwide.

Commenting on the investment, Adrien Géliot, CEO of Premialab said:

“Quantitative investment strategies have grown rapidly in scale and importance, yet the market has lacked a truly independent standard for data, analytics and risk. Premialab was built to fill that gap. Partnering 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.”

Commenting on the investment, Pierre Trecourt, COO of Premialab said:

“We are delighted to partner with KKR and to benefit from their deep expertise and strong global capabilities. This investment will enable us to accelerate product development, further enhance our analytics, and expand our presence among institutional clients worldwide. We are particularly excited to continue building out our infrastructure, including our execution offering with Eurex, broadening access to QIS strategies in a more transparent and scalable way.”
