NEW YORK -- MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) and Intapp, Inc. (NASDAQ: INTA) have entered into a memorandum of understanding to form a strategic collaboration that will streamline how private market professionals can discover, analyze and act on opportunities.

This partnership will make MSCI’s wide-ranging suite of private assets information - including private equity, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure benchmarks, fund, asset and deal performance metrics, and market research - available directly within the Intapp DealCloud deal and relationship management platform.

Streamlined access to critical market intelligence within DealCloud will enable greater transparency, availability of sourcing and origination-related data, and analytical rigor of investment decisions for alternative asset firms. With native access, DealCloud users will be able to interact directly with MSCI’s private assets data through intuitive dashboards and customizable reporting. They can also mine MSCI’s real assets data, including property-level data, as they identify and research potential investment opportunities.

Luke Flemmer, Head of Private Assets at MSCI, commented: “By integrating our insights into a platform trusted by over 1,000 general partners, we’re enabling faster, more informed decision-making across private markets. This collaboration with DealCloud embeds MSCI’s private asset datasets directly into the daily workflows of investment professionals, enhancing both efficiency and transparency. MSCI is committed to advancing clarity in private markets through robust, independent data and analytics, and this partnership very much supports that goal.”

Ben Harrison, President of Industries at Intapp, added: “We remain committed to delivering our clients third-party market data that is fully integrated into our platform without the need for manual data entry. This enhances our users’ experience and provides mutual clients with the right information at the right time, enabling them to source and execute the best opportunities. Our new partnership with MSCI expands access to robust private markets datasets directly inside DealCloud - helping investors and advisors in private capital and real assets better navigate large datasets, thoughtfully evaluate complex markets, and close more deals.”

MSCI and Intapp are negotiating a final agreement after which MSCI’s datasets will become available on the DealCloud platform in the coming months.
