NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chronograph, leading global provider of portfolio monitoring, valuations, and analytics technology for private capital investors, announced a partnership with Perplexity to bring clients’ trusted Chronograph data into Perplexity’s answer engine, and its agent platform, Perplexity Computer. The integration enables private capital professionals to query their validated, auditable portfolio data in plain language within Perplexity, alongside the licensed research sources their teams already rely on.

As institutional investors increasingly adopt AI to accelerate research, valuation, and reporting, the importance of a well-governed data foundation only grows. Chronograph is now available among Perplexity’s new Licensed Finance Data Sources, bringing the most trusted private capital data to one of the most widely adopted AI research surfaces in a single workflow.

Through the connector, teams can pull validated portfolio data straight from Chronograph to drive analytics, generate reporting, and leverage advanced AI to create finished work, built against a trusted data foundation. Reported figures trace back to their source documents, so teams doing mission-critical work always know which data set produced which number.

“Private markets intelligence has traditionally been difficult to access and even harder to put to work,” said Jeff Grimes, Head of Live Events Products, Perplexity. “By bringing Chronograph’s institutional-quality data into Perplexity Finance, we’re giving investors a faster, more intuitive way to research private markets, compare opportunities, and turn complex information into decision-ready insight.”

“For 10 years we have worked to integrate trusted private capital data directly into investor workflows,” said Divya Odayappan, Product Lead, Chronograph LP. “With the launch of Perplexity Computer, it was only natural to partner to unlock Chronograph data within it. The value of Chronograph’s connector goes beyond speed and accessibility; an analyst can be confident when querying portfolio data and analyzing investments in Perplexity. This is key for an industry where trust and accuracy are everything.”

The Chronograph connector for Perplexity is now available to Chronograph clients with an eligible Perplexity Pro, Max, or Enterprise subscription. Customers authenticate their own entitlements; there is no separate data contract to negotiate. Please reach out to Chronograph at perplexity@chronograph.pe for more information.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Egan-Jones released an analysis examining how dependent the American economy has become on finance, and why that dependence leaves it exposed if the world’s financial center of gravity moves as it has before.

Finance and insurance generated 2.8 percent of US gross domestic product in 1950 and roughly 8 percent today, while the sector’s share of domestic corporate profits peaked near 38 percent in 2002. Talent followed: finance drew 21 percent of Harvard seniors entering the workforce in the Class of 2025, the largest single destination, on a 195 percent pay premium.

The vulnerability is mobility. A firm can manage a billion dollars with nearly the staff it needs for a hundred million, and assets leave as easily as they arrive, as the rapid deposit flight at Silicon Valley Bank showed.

History supplies the pattern. Amsterdam’s exchange grew out of a trading empire, London’s institutions followed naval and industrial supremacy, and New York’s rise came more than a century after America first led in farming and then manufacturing. Financial leadership arrived after real economic power in each case, and receded with it.

Trade has already moved. In 2000, 33 countries traded more with China than with the United States; today 151 do, against 57. Egan-Jones also points to the renminbi settling most of China’s cross-border transactions and to Deutsche Bank’s appointment by the People’s Bank of China as a renminbi clearing bank.

Capital has not followed. The S&P 500 has quintupled since the eve of the financial crisis while the Shanghai Composite sits below its 2007 peak, an advantage attributed to US innovation, capital depth, demographics, and dollar primacy. Taiwan is identified as the point where that balance could reprice quickly if Beijing grows impatient, with announced US Navy transits of the strait down from a trailing-twelve-month peak of 16 in 2021 to 2.

America’s position does not disappear in this account. Egan-Jones instead offers markers for institutional investors and risk managers: the renminbi’s share of trade finance, foreign participation at Treasury auctions, and alternatives to SWIFT, framed as a way to recognize a shift in financial gravity early enough to matter for raising and deploying capital.
