If you have gone looking for Eurekahedge recently, you may have noticed: it is not really Eurekahedge anymore. The Singapore-founded hedge fund data provider was acquired by With Intelligence, which also absorbed HFM (Hedge Fund Monitor) to create a combined platform for hedge fund data, indices, investor intelligence, and editorial coverage. The Eurekahedge name still appears on indices and legacy references, but the product has evolved into something broader and, for some users, harder to pin down.
That transition has left a lot of former Eurekahedge users wondering what their options are. Some want the same kind of data in a simpler package. Others were never fully committed to the platform and are using the rebrand as an opportunity to shop around. Either way, you have good alternatives.
This guide compares the new Eurekahedge/With Intelligence platform with four other hedge fund data providers: Preqin, PitchBook, BarclayHedge, HFR, and HedgeLists.
What Is Eurekahedge / With Intelligence?
Eurekahedge launched in 2001 in Singapore as an independent hedge fund data provider. For nearly two decades it has built a solid reputation, particularly in Asia-Pacific, for hedge fund databases, indices, and due diligence services. The platform tracked over 220 data points per fund (more than most competitors at the time) and covered strategies globally, with particular strength in Asian hedge fund markets.
Then the acquisitions began. With Intelligence, a UK-based data and media company, acquired both Eurekahedge and HFM (publisher of Hedge Fund Manager Week and related titles). The result is a combined platform that brings together hedge fund data, performance indices, investor profiles, editorial journalism, and a CRM tool for asset managers. The legacy Eurekahedge indices are being transitioned into With Intelligence’s expanded index offerings.
Eurekahedge / With Intelligence Key Features
- Hedge fund database with fund profiles, performance data, and strategy classification
- Investor/allocator database with mandate and allocation information
- Indices (incorporating legacy Eurekahedge and HFM indices)
- 25,000+ editorial articles spanning 25 years of hedge fund industry coverage
- CRM tool designed specifically for asset managers.
- Conference and event intelligence
- Previously tracked 220+ data points per fund (coverage under the new platform is evolving)
Eurekahedge / With Intelligence Pricing
Neither Eurekahedge nor With Intelligence has ever published transparent pricing. Access requires a sales conversation and custom quoting. Based on the platform’s positioning (institutional data + editorial + CRM), pricing likely falls in the mid-to-upper tier of hedge fund databases, though concrete numbers are not publicly available.
Why Look for Eurekahedge Alternatives?
The Eurekahedge-to-With Intelligence transition has been a catalyst for reevaluation. Here are the reasons we hear most often:
- The platform is in transition. Merging two data sets (Eurekahedge + HFM) into a new platform means features, interfaces, and data coverage are still settling. Some users have found the experience less polished than the standalone Eurekahedge product they originally signed up for.
- Legacy indices are sunsetting. With Intelligence has announced that legacy Eurekahedge indices will be retired in favor of new expanded offerings. If your reporting or compliance workflows reference specific Eurekahedge index tickers, this transition requires attention.
- Pricing is completely opaque. With no published pricing and no free trial, evaluating the platform requires committing to a sales process before you know whether the cost is in your budget.
- The editorial bundling may not fit. With Intelligence packages hedge fund data alongside 25,000+ articles of editorial journalism. That is valuable for some users. For others, particularly those who just need data, it adds cost for content they will never read.
- Asia-Pacific strength may not matter. Eurekahedge’s historic edge was its depth in Asian hedge fund markets. If your focus is North America or Europe, other platforms may offer equal or better coverage in those regions.

The Alternatives Unpacked
1. Preqin
Pricing: ~$15,000–$50,000+/year
Website: preqin.com
Preqin is the natural first consideration for anyone leaving Eurekahedge. Both platforms serve institutional allocators, both offer investor databases, and both provide hedge fund performance data. The difference is the scale. Preqin, which is now owned by BlackRock, covers the full alternative investment spectrum with a depth that With Intelligence cannot really match across PE, VC, infrastructure, and real estate.
What you lose in the switch is: Eurekahedge’s editorial journalism. Preqin publishes research reports, but it is a data company, not a media company. If the 25,000-article archive and industry news coverage matter to your team, that is a genuine gap. What you gain is: broader asset class coverage, deeper LP data, and arguably the most comprehensive fundraising intelligence in the market.
2. PitchBook
Pricing: ~$20,000–$50,000+/year
Website: pitchbook.com
PitchBook is not a like-for-like replacement for Eurekahedge. It is a different animal entirely. Where Eurekahedge was built around hedge fund analytics and editorial, PitchBook is built around deals: who bought what, at what valuation, funded by whom. Hedge fund data exists on the platform but plays a supporting role.
The overlap shows up in one area: investor data. Both platforms track who allocates capital and what their mandates look like. PitchBook adds deal-level transaction data and company financials that Eurekahedge never touches. If your work extends beyond hedge funds into PE/VC deal flow, PitchBook covers a bit more ground. If your work is hedge-fund-only, PitchBook is somewhat of an expensive detour.
3. BarclayHedge
Pricing: $5,000/year (Pro) or $7,250/year (Enhanced)
Website: barclayhedge.com
If Eurekahedge’s data was what you valued most (and the editorial content was basically window dressing), BarclayHedge deserves a serious look. It tracks 6,000+ active hedge funds with 350+ data fields per fund, which is notably more granular than Eurekahedge’s 220+ data points. It also maintains a graveyard database of 27,000+ dead funds, publishes something like 50 indices, and offers daily data refreshes.
The catch: BarclayHedge does not have editorial journalism, investor data, or a built-in CRM. It is a pure data play. For some users that is exactly the point. Less bundling means lower prices ($5,000 to $7,250/year versus With Intelligence’s approximate rates) and a product that does one thing very well.
4. HedgeLists
Pricing: $117–$237 one-time
Website: hedgelists.com
Most Eurekahedge users will not end up at HedgeLists. The use cases barely overlap. Eurekahedge is an institutional analytics platform. HedgeLists is a downloadable contact database. They solve different problems for different people.
But here is why HedgeLists keeps showing up in these conversations: a meaningful percentage of people who search for hedge fund databases are not looking for analytics at all. They are looking for a way to reach hedge fund professionals. Maybe they sell compliance software.Or maybe they are recruiting quantitative analysts. Maybe they run a legal practice that serves fund managers. They google “hedge fund database,” land on an analytics platform, and realize it does not actually help them send an email to a portfolio manager in Greenwich.
HedgeLists was designed for that moment. It covers 10,000+ hedge funds across 30+ countries, organized by strategy and geography. Each fund listing comes with 40 verified data fields, including up to six direct email addresses, executive names, AUM, and hiring status. The entire database downloads as an Excel or CSV file that you can drop into Salesforce, HubSpot, or a mail merge in about 90 seconds.
The economics are hard to argue with:
- With Intelligence: unknown annual subscription (likely thousands per year)
- BarclayHedge Enhanced with contacts: $7,250/year
- Preqin: $15,000+ per year
- HedgeLists: $117 to $237. Once. Done.
No recurring fees, no procurement process, no training sessions. If contacts are what you need, this is the fastest and most affordable path from “I need hedge fund data” to “I have hedge fund data.”
Which Alternative Fits Your Situation?
Rather than a generic “it depends,” here are five common scenarios and the platform each one points to:
Scenario 1: “I used Eurekahedge for fund analytics and I want something similar without the media bundling.”
Go with BarclayHedge. More data fields per fund, established indices, transparent pricing. It is the closest replacement for Eurekahedge’s core data product.
Scenario 2: “I need investor mandate data alongside fund profiles.”
Look at Preqin. Its LP database is the deepest in the market, and the hedge fund data is strong. With Intelligence does offer some investor data, but Preqin’s coverage is more comprehensive.
Scenario 3: “I need regulated, IOSCO-certified hedge fund benchmarks.”
That is HFR territory. The HFRI indices are the global standard. With Intelligence’s indices (incorporating the Eurekahedge legacy) are well-known but do not carry the same regulatory certifications.
Scenario 4: “I actually just need hedge fund email addresses.”
HedgeLists. You will be up and running in two minutes for under $250. No annual subscription, no sales call, no onboarding deck.
Scenario 5: “I want everything: data, news, investor intel, CRM, indices.”
Honestly, With Intelligence might still be your best bet. No other single platform bundles editorial journalism with hedge fund data and a built-in CRM. The question is whether you value that integration enough to accept the opaque pricing and transitional growing pains.
Just Need to Reach Hedge Fund Managers?
Skip the analytics platforms and get straight to the contacts. HedgeLists provides downloadable databases of 10,000+ hedge funds with emails, executive names, AUM, strategy, and 40 fields of verified data. From $117, delivered instantly as Excel and CSV.
A Couple More Options
- HFR (Hedge Fund Research): Already covered above as a benchmarking specialist. Worth mentioning again here because Eurekahedge and HFR shared a significant overlap in index coverage. If your primary use of Eurekahedge was its indices, HFR’s HFRI family (500+ indices, IOSCO/ESMA-certified) is the most credible alternative in that specific category.
- HedgeCo.Net: The largest free hedge fund directory online. Covers hedge funds, PE, VC, crypto funds, and SPVs. Will not replace Eurekahedge’s analytics, but useful as a zero-cost supplement for basic fund lookups and industry news.
- Bloomberg Terminal: If you already have Bloomberg access (~$24,000/year per terminal), you can pull some hedge fund data without a separate platform. The coverage does not approach Eurekahedge’s specialization, but it handles occasional lookups reasonably well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Eurekahedge was acquired by With Intelligence, a UK-based data and media company that also acquired HFM (Hedge Fund Monitor). The Eurekahedge data, indices, and analytics are now part of the With Intelligence platform. The Eurekahedge brand still appears on certain indices, but legacy Eurekahedge indices are being sunsetted in favor of new With Intelligence index offerings.
Not exactly. With Intelligence is a broader platform that combines Eurekahedge’s hedge fund data with HFM’s editorial journalism, investor intelligence, and a CRM tool for asset managers. If you used Eurekahedge solely for fund analytics, you will find that functionality within With Intelligence, but wrapped in a larger product with additional features and (likely) different pricing.
Neither Eurekahedge nor With Intelligence publishes pricing. Access requires contacting their sales team for a custom quote. Pricing varies based on the products selected and your firm type. For comparison, BarclayHedge (a hedge-fund-focused competitor) publishes pricing at $5,000 to $7,250/year, and HedgeLists offers one-time purchases from $117 to $237.
For hedge fund contact data, HedgeLists is the most affordable option by a wide margin: $117 to $237 as a one-time purchase with 12 months of free updates. For performance analytics, BarclayHedge Pro at $5,000/year is the most affordable annual subscription. HedgeCo.Net offers a free directory with basic fund information, though it lacks the depth of any paid alternative.
Yes. Eurekahedge was headquartered in Singapore and built a strong reputation for Asia-Pacific hedge fund coverage. Its databases were considered among the most comprehensive for Asian hedge fund markets specifically. Whether that regional depth has been fully preserved within the With Intelligence platform is something prospective subscribers should verify directly.
The Eurekahedge indices are available through the With Intelligence platform, but With Intelligence has announced that legacy Eurekahedge indices will be sunsetted and replaced with expanded index offerings. If your reporting references specific Eurekahedge index tickers (such as EHFI400 on Bloomberg), check with With Intelligence on the transition timeline. HFR’s HFRI indices are the primary alternative for institutional-grade hedge fund benchmarks.
