FactSet, a leading provider of integrated financial information and
analytical applications, has been awarded the “Best Overall
Provider” of market data, research and analytics for 2016 by Inside
Market Data (IMD), an Incisive Media publication that covers the
market data sector of the financial services industry.
FactSet’s achievement was announced at the Inside Market
Data/Inside Reference Data Awards Dinner held on May 18, 2016 in
New York. FactSet was also named “Best Research Provider” and “Best
Analytics Provider” in the annual IMD awards competition.
“Being named ‘Best Overall Provider’ of market data and service
by Inside Market Data is a significant accomplishment for us and
recognizes our unwavering commitment to partnering with global
investment professionals across asset classes and at every stage of
the investment process to help them meet the challenges of rapid
change in financial markets,” says Goran Skoko, Senior Vice
President, Workstation Solutions, FactSet.
The IMD “Best Research Provider” award recognizes FactSet’s
Research Management Solutions (RMS), which help clients
institutionalize and optimize their research workflow and
centralize ideas, notes, and recommendations, ultimately making
research faster and easier to store, retrieve, track and share
across investment teams. FactSet is the largest provider of RMS
solutions in the industry and is used by firms in all asset
classes.
The IMD “Best Analytics Provider” award spotlights FactSet’s
Portfolio Analytics (PA), a multi-asset class, global solution that
helps investment professionals get from data to decision faster.
Included is FactSet’s Geographical Revenue dataset which is unique
in the industry and provides a true understanding of a portfolio’s
exposure to geopolitical, macroeconomic and market
factors.
“In awarding FactSet the award for Best Research Provider, the
judges called FactSet ‘by far the industry leader,’ while in the
Best Analytics Provider category, the judges called FactSet
Portfolio Analytics ‘a robust offering from a proven player,’ that
is ‘always a best-in-class product,’ and ‘a benchmark for analytics
in this competitive space’,” explains Max Bowie, editor of Inside
Market Data and executive editor of Inside Reference Data.
“FactSet’s triumph in the new overall Best Data Provider category
reflects these wins, as well as the breadth of its entries in other
categories where it was also a strong contender. Taking all this
into account, FactSet has shown itself able to consistently punch
above its weight, and we believe is therefore a deserving winner of
this inaugural award.”
