The Database

What is the Dakota UK and European Investment Holdings database?

It is a record of which investment managers and funds UK and European institutional allocators have invested with. It covers pension funds, charities and other institutions across the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Sweden and Norway. Every holding sits on the allocator's profile in Dakota Marketplace, next to its decision-maker contacts, so fundraising teams can go from "who invests in this" to "who do I call" in one place.

The European Challenge

Europe is an enormous opportunity. Knowing where to start is the hard part.

Identifying which allocators invest in your asset class, understanding their existing manager relationships and finding the right people to contact has meant weeks of research across dozens of markets. Dakota Marketplace is changing that.

Which allocators invest in your strategy?

Disclosures sit in annual reports, committee papers and registers, in different languages and formats in every country.

Who have they already hired?

Existing manager relationships are the best signal of what an allocator will buy next, and the hardest to see.

Who should you call?

An investment record is only useful once it leads to a person. Most holdings data stops before that point.

More than holdings

You already know who the European allocators are. Now discover who they're investing with.

Knowing an allocator invests in private equity, private credit, hedge funds, real estate or infrastructure is useful. Knowing exactly which investment firms it has backed, and having the relevant contacts in front of you, is far more powerful.
