LSEG expands BlackRock partnership for private markets data

LONDON (Reuters) -London Stock Exchange Group said on Wednesday it was expanding its partnership with BlackRock to give its clients more private markets' data.    Under the agreement, LSEG customers will get access to Preqin data feeds. BlackRock bought private markets data company Preqin last year.     LSEG CEO David Schwimmer has played down the threat of AI to LSEG's businesses, and at its quarterly results last week suggested the company could push deeper into private markets in future.
