Auquan

Auquan does not disclose its founding team or management structure on its public website. The firm operates as a technology provider rather than an investment manager, meaning investment decisions remain with the client institutions using the platform.

Auquan is a software vendor, not an asset manager. It does not manage capital or make investment decisions. Its platform automates research and reporting workflows for institutional asset managers, private equity firms, and wealth managers.

Auquan's agents draw on over 2 million sources across 76 languages, combined with clients' proprietary data. The system builds complete audit trails tracing every output back to its original source, so teams can verify methodology rather than accept black-box results.

The platform supports credit analysis (corporate credit screening, IC memos, covenant monitoring, portfolio valuation), sustainability workflows (ESG screening, controversy monitoring, regulatory compliance), and investor relations tasks (LP reporting, DDQs, side-letter compliance). It is not limited to a single asset class but does not execute or custody assets.

Auquan reports that 40% of the top 50 global firms use its platform in production, with named customer references including Federated Hermes, Amati Global Partners, and Delancey (per firm website). Users include directors of research at $1T+ asset managers and heads of sustainability at top-5 wealth managers.
