What is Nasdaq eVestment™
Nasdaq eVestment is a financial research and analytics platform focused on institutional investment management data, including manager, product, and performance information. It is used by asset managers, consultants, and asset owners for manager research, peer comparisons, due diligence workflows, and reporting. The product is commonly positioned around a large manager database and tools for screening, analytics, and RFP/RFI-related research processes.
Institutional manager research database
The platform centers on a structured dataset of investment managers, strategies, and performance/firm attributes used in institutional manager selection. Users can screen and compare managers across multiple criteria to support shortlists and due diligence. This focus can reduce reliance on ad hoc spreadsheets and manual data gathering for manager research.
Screening and peer comparison tools
eVestment supports filtering and peer group comparisons to evaluate managers and products against relevant universes. These workflows align with common consultant and asset-owner research processes, including documenting rationale for inclusions/exclusions. The tooling is designed for repeatable research rather than one-off analysis.
Supports RFP/RFI research workflows
The product is frequently used to support RFP/RFI-style research by organizing manager information and standardizing how it is reviewed. Centralized profiles and data fields help teams collaborate and maintain consistency across evaluations. This can improve auditability compared with email- and document-driven processes.
Coverage depends on manager participation
A portion of the content relies on investment managers providing and maintaining their own data. As a result, completeness and timeliness can vary by firm, strategy, or region. Teams often need supplemental verification during due diligence.
Less suited for market trading workflows
The platform’s core value is institutional manager research rather than real-time charting, trading signals, or execution-oriented workflows. Organizations needing deep market microstructure tools or active trading interfaces may require separate systems. This can lead to a multi-tool stack for end-to-end investment workflows.
Integration and export needs
Institutional research teams commonly need to move outputs into internal BI tools, data warehouses, or reporting templates. Depending on licensing and available connectors/APIs, integration can require additional effort and governance. Heavy spreadsheet-based processes may still persist for bespoke reporting.
