ChatGPT names FEV Analytics in 5 of 60 buyer answers.
All 5 come from answers with web search on. From memory alone, ChatGPT thinks FEV Analytics is part of FEV Group, the German automotive engineering firm. Ask it who can price private assets every day for a 401(k) fund, and it sends buyers to S&P Global, Kroll and the fund administrators.

01 / Brand baseline
From memory, ChatGPT confuses you with a car engineering firm. With search, it finds you.
With search off, the answer shows what the model already believes. With search on, it shows what it can find. Search off, every run describes FEV Group's automotive analytics. Search on, every run gets the company right, but none names Alts-Align, and all of them rank 401(k) plans third among your buyers.

02 / How the benchmark works
We asked the way a buyer asks, then counted who got named.
Ask like a buyer
10 questions written from the buyer's side, with a real constraint in each. FEV Analytics' name never appears in them.
Two modes
Each question ran with web search off, from memory, and on, where ChatGPT reads the web first.
Three fresh runs
Every question ran three times in a clean temporary chat on a paid test account with memory off, so one lucky answer can't skew it.
Count who's named
We pulled every company each answer recommends, in order, and tallied them across all runs.
10 + 2 questions×2 modes×3 runs=72 answers
Visibility
Share of the 60 buyer answers that name you.
Consistency
How many of the 3 runs name you for the same question.
Recognition
Whether the brand questions describe you correctly.
03 / The questions
12 questions across the buying journey.
Brand
Names FEV Analytics. Scored for recognition, kept out of the visibility count.
- B1Who is FEV Analytics?
- B2Who is FEV Analytics' ideal customer?
Awareness

- Q01Which companies provide daily NAV valuations for private equity and private credit held in 401(k) target-date funds?
- Q02independent private asset valuation provider for a daily priced collective investment trust
- Q10private equity index and benchmark data provider for manager evaluation
Consideration
The buyer is comparing specialists, options and alternatives.
- Q03We're a recordkeeper adding a private markets sleeve to our managed accounts, and our system needs a price for every holding every day. Who can value the private equity, private credit and real estate pieces daily?
- Q04alternatives to Kroll and Houlihan Lokey for daily private equity valuation
- Q05We're a university endowment with about $20 billion across private equity, real estate and infrastructure. GP NAVs arrive a quarter late. Who can give us holdings-level estimates of current value between quarterly reports?
- Q06holdings level proxy valuation for private equity funds between quarterly gp nav reports
- Q09We're a $3 billion asset manager launching our first interval fund with private credit. We only need monthly marks now but want daily pricing later. Who should we talk to?
Decision
The buyer is checking cost and how to choose.
- Q07how much does daily valuation of private assets cost for a 401(k) fund
- Q08What should a plan fiduciary look for when choosing an independent valuation provider for private assets in a 401(k)?
04 / Who ChatGPT recommends
Valuation advisors and data giants own the shortlist. You show up only when search is on.
S&P Global Market Intelligence is named for 9 of 10 questions, and MSCI, Kroll and Houlihan Lokey fill most of the rest. The nearest miss is Q05. An endowment asking for holdings-level values between GP NAV reports is your UC Investments case, and ChatGPT named MSCI, Kroll and Houlihan Lokey in all 6 answers.

05 / Why competitors are winning
The firms ChatGPT names publish proof at scale. FEV Analytics publishes almost none.
Kroll has 129 case studies and 4,336 posts, and ChatGPT names it in 29 answers. FEV Analytics' sitemap lists 3 posts and no case studies, the site has no LinkedIn link, and ChatGPT names it in 5. FEV sits below the peer median on all four signals below.

Footprint vs. answers
A bigger footprint helps, but it doesn't decide the shortlist. 73 Strings, the closest platform rival, scores 52 and gets named in 2. FEV Analytics scores 20 and still gets named in 5, because one trade press article and a site built around 401(k) pricing matched the questions.
The outlier
73 Strings has 39K LinkedIn followers and 73 posts, and ChatGPT names it 2 times.
ChatGPT names it only for Q04, the alternatives question: once as a tool for scaling in-house PE valuation, and once with a note to verify that it delivers daily values. A big footprint without a page about daily pricing for retirement funds doesn't get a firm onto this shortlist. FEV Analytics has the right story for this buyer. What it lacks is the proof and the pages to carry it.

- Domain Rating, referring domains, organic visits and ranking keywords from Ahrefs, November 11, 2026, all locations. Posts and case studies counted from each site's XML sitemaps on November 11, English pages only. LinkedIn followers as shown on each company page, rounded.
- S&P Global Market Intelligence and MSCI are measured on their parent domains in Ahrefs, which also carry ratings, indexes and ESG. Their posts and pages count Market Intelligence URLs only for S&P, and the whole site for MSCI. MSCI now owns Burgiss.
- Houlihan Lokey is measured on hl.com. Valuation Research Corporation shows about 16 case studies on one page without their own URLs, counted as 1. Only 1 of MSCI's 7 case-study URLs is a client story.
- FEV Analytics' 863 referring domains send about one link each, and Ahrefs finds no ranking keywords. Its site has no LinkedIn link, so the follower count comes from the company page ChatGPT cited. The UC Investments case study is gated, so it has no page of its own.
- 73 Strings, Kroll and MSCI are our picks as your closest competitors. S&P Global Market Intelligence, Houlihan Lokey, Lincoln International, Chronograph and Valuation Research Corporation are firms ChatGPT names for your buyer questions.
