Preqin provided comprehensive natural resources performance data and customizable benchmarking tools that allowed Waterous Energy Fund to build tailored peer sets by strategy, asset preference, and vintage, while also supporting reporting, alerts, and competitor monitoring. With Preqin’s market benchmark, Waterous Energy Fund’s first fund ranked in the top quartile of the 2017 North America-focused energy benchmark as of March 31, 2019, helping the firm strengthen its fundraising story and stand out to LPs.
