Procensus extends to PE

LP opinion-sharing community Procensus has opened its market intelligence service offering to PE, VC, corporates, capital markets advisory teams and regulators.

The regulated platform aims to help investors understand market consensus on macro topics such as key ESG issues, market transactions (M&A and IPOs), stocks and stock specific events. LPs share and benchmark their opinions anonymously in real-time, and using polling technology, the platform analyses the data to produce Pro-Ratings and Pro-Signals, as a measure of investor sentiment.

“Procensus leverages a polling capability, data engine and rating system to capture and benchmark buy-side consensus, and to generate alpha, in a significantly more efficient way than the current human interface that is prevalent in the capital markets,” said Alastair Walmsley, CEO of Procensus. 

Founded in 2015, Procensus spun out of Autonomous Research. The platform counts 5,500 portfolio managers, CIOs and analysts from 1,450 institutional fund managers as users.
