Summary
Arcesium's Aquata Marketplace grew to 55 data listings after adding 30 new sources in H1 2026, spanning categories like ESG, benchmarks, fixed income, credit ratings, and custody data, with a target of 100+ listings by year end. These sources power applications like NAV Oversight and ESG reporting, and combined with Arcesium Intelligence's AI capabilities, help clients onboard data and build tools in days instead of months.
The Aquata Data Platform transforms fragmented investment data into accessible, actionable, AI-ready assets. Last October, when we launched the Aquata® Marketplace to further that goal, we made a commitment to build the investment industry's most comprehensive, pre-configured data ecosystem. The goal was to eliminate the costly, time-intensive work of sourcing and integrating third-party data, and replace it with instant, standardized connectivity [i]. Six months into that journey, we are proud to share a meaningful milestone.
In the first half of 2026, we deployed connectivity to 30 new data listings across the Aquata Marketplace, bringing our total catalog to 55 listings. We are targeting more than 100 by year end.
Every listing is a data source Aquata clients can now access in a standardized, governed manner within their existing environment. This eliminates custom integration projects, procurement delays and the operational burden of maintaining bespoke pipelines. For investment firms navigating an increasingly data-intensive landscape, velocity matters [ii].
30 new listings span seven categories, each addressing distinct and pressing needs for investment firms.
With these new sources, existing Aquata applications are being enhanced, and new applications are being developed. Two examples include:
When paired with our recently announced in-app AI, Arcesium Intelligence, clients can expedite time to value. With Arcesium Intelligence, Aquata users can get answers, build custom applications and build AI agents with plain language prompts. As a result, the new data sets in Aquata are immediately poised to power insights, applications and decisions that move our customers forward.
The growth of Aquata Marketplace reflects a broader thesis: data connectivity should be a solved problem for investment firms, not an ongoing capital project. Today, firms expend resources building and maintaining point-to-point integrations with data vendors, counterparties, and service providers. Every new data source requires negotiation, technical build-out, testing, and ongoing maintenance. The cumulative cost, in both dollars and organizational attention, is substantial.
Aquata Marketplace empowers clients to onboard new data source connectivity in days not months [v].
Reaching 55 listings is a milestone. We have significant momentum and are committed to hitting our target of more than 100 listings by year-end.
If your firm currently uses any of the 30 newly added sources, we can bring that data into your Aquata environment in a standardized manner today. We encourage clients to explore the full Marketplace catalog within the Aquata data platform, and to reach out to your Arcesium relationship team to discuss how these new integrations can be activated for your environment.
