Premialab, a Dubai-based platform specializing in data, analytics, and risk management for quantitative investing, announced a US$220 million strategic investment led by funds and accounts managed by KKR, one of the world’s largest investment firms, alongside existing investor Balderton.
Founded in 2016, Premialab empowers asset managers and investors to make more informed decisions by providing access to quantitative investment strategies, benchmarking, performance analysis, and a comprehensive risk analytics ecosystem.
