LONDON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - London Stock Exchange Group ( LDNXF )

said on Wednesday it was expanding its partnership with

BlackRock ( BLK ) to give its clients more private markets'

data.

Under the agreement, LSEG customers will get access to

Preqin data feeds. BlackRock ( BLK ) 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.
