The retrieval layer for finance agents.
One API across filings, transcripts, market data, macro, private markets, and news. Structured for how agents actually retrieve knowledge, at the rate agent loops call it.
The retrieval layer for finance agents.
Equity research is no longer one analyst with a terminal. It is a chain of retrievals across 10-Ks, transcripts, filings, and macro, synthesised by an agent. Deal diligence, IC prep, coverage monitoring, screening, thesis tracking, all decompose the same way. Every one of those decomposed steps needs to reach knowledge. Not a link. Not a summary. The specific document the workflow is asking for, returned in a shape a model can use, at the rate an agent loop calls it. Ask a general-purpose retrieval API for the MD&A section of Apple's 2022 10-K. Most cannot surface the specific section. Valyu does. Because Valyu was built for the shape and precision agent workflows require.

The Private Credit Sector: Competitive Landscape, Market Dynamics, and the Structural Shift in Alternative Finance
Private credit expanded from $250 billion in 2008 to $3.5 trillion by 2025, driven by bank regulation, institutional reallocation, and non-bank lending alternatives. [1][2]
Apollo, Blackstone, Ares, and Blue Owl now dominate the sector, controlling roughly 40% of private credit capital through scale, permanent capital, and origination reach. [2][3]
The mega-managers originated approximately $369 billion in direct lending volume across 3,533 deals in 2025, displacing traditional bank lending in the middle market. [2][3]
Defaults are accelerating, covenant protection has eroded, spreads have compressed, and $20.8 billion in Q1 2026 redemption requests marks the first real stress test. [4]
