Nasdaq eVestment Data Now on Databricks Marketplace

An institutional mandate is essentially a high-stakes job description.

When a large organization like a pension fund decides to invest a chunk of money, they don't just "buy stocks." Instead, they create a specific set of rules and goals for how that money must be managed. They then "mandate" an investment firm to follow those rules.

Asset management distribution leaders face an ever-increasing challenge: institutional mandates now open and close faster than ever, consultant influence has grown exponentially, and competition for each opportunity is stronger than ever. If a sales team cannot pitch quickly and effectively, they may lose the deal.

Most sales teams are currently slowed down because their information is scattered across too many different systems. This leads them to waste time on the wrong leads while the best opportunities go unnoticed. To make matters worse, getting fresh market data usually requires waiting weeks for technical teams to move and clean the information. By the time the data is finally ready to use, the window of opportunity to win the mandate has already passed.

Nasdaq eVestment™ data is now available through Delta Sharing on Databricks Marketplace, giving you direct access to comprehensive institutional investor data, open mandate intelligence, and performance analytics as live, query ready Delta tables. This integration streamlines your distribution workflow by eliminating data duplication, manual pipelines, and brittle integration, and simplifies opportunity identification, sales preparation, and relationship management on the unified, AI-powered Databricks platform.

Nasdaq eVestment Data Meets Databricks

Nasdaq eVestment delivers a trusted view of the institutional investment landscape, covering thousands of asset managers, plans, consultants, and open mandates. All this is delivered as governed Delta tables via Delta Sharing shared directly into your Databricks lakehouse. Because Nasdaq eVestment data is Delta Shared, it lands instantly without duplication in your lakehouse with standard identifiers intact, ready to join with your CRM data, internal performance records, and client interaction history. This data is instantly available for analytics and AI use cases.

Daily updates on new mandates, consultant sentiment, and investor activity flow into the same tables, preserving lineage, versioning, and access controls through Unity Catalog. Once Nasdaq eVestment data is joined with your CRM records, meeting notes, and product performance data, new capabilities emerge without standing up new systems or data copies:

• Automated mandate discovery with Next Best Action scoring
  Nasdaq eVestment's Next Best Action (NBA) dataset ranks open institutional mandates on a 0-5 scale based on how well each opportunity fits your firm’s strategy and historical win patterns. The participant factor model considers performance versus incumbents, consultant sentiment, viewership trends, and investor preferences.
  
  When new mandates align with what your firm does best, Databricks workflows surface those opportunities immediately across analytics, dashboards, or alerts—so teams focus on the right mandates instead of chasing low-probability leads.
  
  With Agent Bricks on Databricks, this scoring becomes continuous and actionable. Agent Bricks continuously monitors new and updated mandates, combines NBA data with CRM relationship data and internal performance metrics, and automatically triggers next steps, such as notifying the right coverage team, generating a mandate-specific briefing, or updating pipeline status—turning mandate discovery into an always-on execution flow.
  

  

• Real-time sales preparation
  Live mandate details with historical consultant preferences, your firm's competitive positioning and first party CRM data to prepare customized pitches before the first meeting.
• Dynamic pipeline management
  Nasdaq eVestment's collection of open mandates is continuously matched with CRM and relationship data using Databricks SQL and AI/BI dashboards, giving teams a real-time view of fit, priority, and coverage.
• AI-powered meeting intelligence
  Databricks Genie and AI Knowledge Assistants synthesize institutional investor preferences, mandate requirements, incumbent performance gaps, and your firm's strengths into concise briefing documents, grounded in governed, auditable data.

For example, a distribution leader can ask: "What are the best opportunities for my firm?" and receive a ranked list with context on performance versus incumbents, consultant sentiment, and next-step recommendations, all within your Databricks environment.
