NEW YORK, NY & DALLAS, TX - OCTOBER 19, 2022 - Canoe Intelligence ("Canoe"), the financial technology company powering alternative investment intelligence, today announced a new partnership with VRGL, a provider of institutional-grade analytics and automated data extraction to the wealth management industry. This collaboration allows wealth managers with access to relevant traditional and alternative investment data and portfolio analytics to communicate their unique value to prospective and current clients.

"Canoe is the industry-leader in automating data extraction and delivery for the alternatives space and we are thrilled to partner with them to offer our customers extended alternative data functionality that expands our native capabilities. This partnership furthers our mission to accelerate the prospect journey and expedite time to revenue for our clients by providing advisors the tools they need to evaluate and present their clients' investment data with more ease, completeness, and accuracy."

"More than half of our client base deals with the specific proposal management challenges VRGL is solving. And, we're eager to contribute to the solution," said Michael Muniz, Partner and Chief Revenue Officer at Canoe Intelligence. "We're delighted to collaborate with the VRGL team. Together, we'll continue to strengthen the technology available to the wealth management community and support all investors with higher-quality data and analytics to make more informed decisions."
