FLX Networks and Blue Vault Partner to Unlock $750 Billion in Alternative Investment Data

FLX Networks has entered an exclusive partnership with Blue Vault to integrate comprehensive alternative investment data into the FLX Analytics platform. For fintech professionals, this move signals a significant bridge between traditional asset classes and the opaque alternatives market, offering standardized intelligence on $750 billion in assets to a network already managing $50 trillion in traditional funds.

What was announced

The partnership introduces Blue Vault’s standardized alternatives data to the FLX Analytics suite, which has historically focused on approximately $50 trillion of mutual fund and ETF assets. This expansion targets asset managers, insurance carriers, and wealth management firms who require deeper visibility into private markets. The new solution provides access to more than 300 alternative investment offerings, including real estate and private credit structures.

The dataset includes thousands of standardized data points and over 17 years of historical performance metrics. Through this integration, FLX members can evaluate the alternatives marketplace, filter specific opportunities, compare investments, and track performance over time. The service is available a la carte through the FLX Solutions Exchange, allowing firms to customize their data intake as part of the broader suite of solutions available through the network.

For asset managers, the expanded FLX Analytics solution is designed to support internal market intelligence, product strategy, sales planning, and marketing initiatives. For wealth management firms and financial advisors, the integration aims to make relevant alternatives data more accessible as the use of private markets continues to expand. By bringing structure to a marketplace where information is often fragmented and difficult to compare, the collaboration helps professionals identify trends and make more informed allocation decisions.

"Alternatives have become an increasingly important part of the wealth management landscape, and asset managers need better intelligence to understand where opportunities exist and how they should allocate resources,"

Brian Moran, Founder and CEO of FLX Networks

The companies involved

FLX Networks operates as a technology-driven network designed to modernize how asset managers, insurance carriers, and wealth management firms connect and scale their operations. Led by Founder and CEO Brian Moran, the firm focuses on aggregating information, technology, and solutions into a centralized marketplace to improve operational efficiency for institutional investors. The company’s FLX Analytics arm serves as a core component of this ecosystem, providing investment intelligence across a vast landscape of traditional financial products.

Blue Vault, led by CEO Stacy Chitty, specializes in the standardization and analysis of alternative investment data. The company addresses the inherent lack of transparency in the alternatives sector by providing structured insights into non-listed REITs, Business Development Companies (BDCs), and other private investment vehicles. By offering nearly two decades of historical performance data, Blue Vault has positioned itself as a critical source of intelligence for firms navigating complex investment structures that do not follow the same reporting conventions as traditional public markets. The firm’s methodology involves bringing structure to fragmented data points to allow for direct comparison between disparate alternative offerings.

What this means

This partnership highlights the accelerating democratization of alternatives, as institutional-grade data becomes more accessible to the broader wealth management sector. As traditional portfolios face increased volatility, the demand for private credit and real estate is surging, yet the lack of standardized data remains a major hurdle for compliance and due diligence. By embedding Blue Vault’s data into a platform already used for traditional ETFs and mutual funds, FLX is pressuring legacy data providers to break down the silos between public and private market intelligence. The success of this integration will likely depend on whether the industry can truly harmonize these disparate data sets into a single, actionable workflow.
