The Problem

Why Generic Databases Fail for RIA Acquisition Sourcing

Preqin, PitchBook, and generic CRMs were built for fund performance tracking and LP intelligence — not for identifying tuck-in targets or scoring roll-up candidates. Acquirers need a different data set and a different workflow.

Wrong Data Model
📊

Built for Fund Performance, Not Firm Screening

PitchBook and Preqin track fund returns and LP commitments. They don't surface the SEC Form ADV fields that matter for acquisition screening — regulatory AUM, client demographics, fee schedules, custodian relationships, and firm structure.

No Scoring Layer
🎯

Lists Without Prioritization

Generic databases give you a flat export. You get 500 firms in a CSV and your team spends weeks manually researching each one. There's no fit score, no growth signal detection, and no way to rank which firms to approach first.

CRM Disconnect
🔌

Export → Import → Stale in 30 Days

You download a list, import it into Salesforce, and within a month the data is outdated. No ongoing sync. No enrichment. No tracking of which targets your team has already contacted versus which are untouched.

SEC Form ADV: The Deal Sourcing Advantage

Every record in AllocatorBase is verified against SEC Form ADV filings — not scraped from LinkedIn or compiled from self-reported surveys. You get regulatory AUM, not marketing AUM. Actual client counts, not estimates. Real fee schedules, not ranges. This is the data acquirers need to make screening decisions with confidence.
