Blue Vault, a recognized provider of alternative investment performance data and analytics, has introduced a new research portal designed to simplify how financial professionals evaluate and compare opportunities across private credit, real estate, and equity markets. The platform delivers a more intuitive, data-driven experience for investment advisors, financial services firms, and asset managers seeking clarity in the growing alternatives landscape.
The newly launched portal consolidates Blue Vault’s extensive research coverage, including publicly registered nontraded REITs, nontraded BDCs, interval funds, and tender offer funds, with DST offerings expected to be added in the near term. By providing a centralized and streamlined interface, the platform enables users to quickly access actionable insights without navigating overly complex datasets.
The release represents the first phase of Blue Vault’s broader initiative to modernize access to its proprietary market intelligence. Built on a flexible, scalable architecture, the portal serves as a primary destination for professionals looking to gain a clear, concise understanding of alternative investment performance and trends.
“We’re excited to reach this point. It’s a big deal for wealth advisors. All the things they’ve never been able to do before when researching, selecting, and tracking alts, can now be done, and the immense time they will save is truly remarkable. There’s a seismic shift taking place in the private markets arena today, and the new portal will help advisors capture the opportunity to grow with that shift,” said Stacy Chitty, Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Vault.

In addition to offering both current and historical data across its core product categories, the portal provides asset class-level performance insights supported by proprietary analysis and commentary. This approach enhances transparency and equips financial professionals with deeper visibility into the alternative investments market.
“The Blue Vault database helps us separate the facts from the marketing hype when looking at alternative investments. It also helps us stay on top of legacy alts that no longer have wholesalers to provide updates. If you are using or interested in using alternative investments, Blue Vault is a must,” said Frederick E. Hubler, Jr. MBA CWS® , CEO and Chief Wealth Strategist, Creative Capital Wealth Management Group.
Enterprise-Grade Data Infrastructure for Deeper Insights
Beyond its advisor-facing interface, the platform is underpinned by a robust data infrastructure tailored for enterprise users and asset managers. Blue Vault’s data is now hosted within Snowflake, enabling organizations such as custodians, investment platforms, and asset managers to access normalized datasets directly. This allows them to integrate Blue Vault insights into internal analytics systems, dashboards, and distribution workflows.
“While the portal is the ideal front-end for advisors, the data behind it is what really moves the needle for enterprises and asset managers,” Chitty said. “They can feed our data into their platforms, empower wholesalers with better market analytics, and build capabilities we simply couldn’t attempt on our own.”
Strategic Development and Future Enhancements
The portal was developed in collaboration with Softlab360, a specialized consulting and software engineering firm with extensive experience supporting financial services organizations. Additional advisory input was provided by The Oasis Group, led by CEO John O’Connell.
Looking ahead, Blue Vault is advancing development of a comparative analytics tool that will enable users to conduct side-by-side evaluations of investment products directly within the platform. While similar analysis is currently possible, the process remains largely manual. The upcoming enhancement aims to deliver faster, more intuitive, and scalable comparisons, further strengthening the platform’s analytical capabilities.
“Partnering on this project has been important to our team because it’s important to the industry,” said Henry Zelikovsky, Founder and CEO of Softlab360. “The new data platform delivers real-time analytics in Tableau and Power BI and supports custom interface development through its Snowflake-based API. It enables users focused on alternative assets to research, evaluate, and select covered funds, and to perform historical look-backs over chosen periods or from fund inception.”
With this launch, Blue Vault reinforces its commitment to improving transparency, efficiency, and decision-making across the alternative investments ecosystem, empowering advisors and institutions to navigate private markets with greater confidence.
