Auquan

Auquan is an AI innovator in the financial services sector that has developed the Auquan Intelligence Engine, a SaaS-based product powered by retrieval augmented generation (RAG) AI. The technology combines information retrieval systems with GenAI capabilities to provide insights from unstructured data. The Intelligence Engine streamlines processes that require swift collection and processing of vast volumes of text, such as company reports, regulatory documents, broker research, legal filings, and news coverage, to drive decision-making.

Auquan's RAG AI technique addresses common pitfalls of GenAI in the enterprise, ensuring real-time access to accurate information and generating responses solely from credible sources. The company offers in-depth insights into over 500,000 global public and private companies, equities, infrastructure projects, and other entities.

Key use cases for Auquan's Intelligence Engine include private company pre-screening and due diligence, know your customer (KYC) and background checks, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainability research and monitoring. In January 2024, Auquan introduced the Auquan Data Catalog to cater to customers' diverse ESG and risk data needs, offering data feeds on ESG controversies, compliance screening, business involvement screening, sustainable impact, and impact metrics.

Key customers and partnerships

As of October 2023, Auquan’s customer base included asset managers, investment banks, and private equity funds spanning the US and Europe. Notable customers include UBS and Federated Hermes.
