If you work with institutional investors, staying ahead of new searches isn’t just helpful. It’s essential. It’s how you win mandates, deepen relationships, and grow your business.
But too often, these searches pop up after the deadline or after the shortlist is already set. By then it’s too late.
Knowing where capital is being allocated, and by whom, helps you tailor your outreach, align with what investors actually want, and show up early in the decision-making process.
That’s where Dakota Marketplace comes in. It gives you real-time visibility into institutional investment searches across asset classes and geographies.
In this article we’re highlighting 10 investment searches recorded so far in 2025, all found in Dakota Marketplace. While some of these searches are now closed, each one gives insight into where institutional capital is moving, and what trends may continue through the rest of the year.
