LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IHS Markit (Nasdaq: INFO), a world leader in critical information, analytics and solutions, was rated the number one vendor for Alternative Data and for Regulatory Reporting in Asia Risk magazine’s 12th Annual Technology Rankings.
IHS Markit offers more than 2,500 datasets and information products and employs nearly 14,000 people, most of whom are involved with creating data or analysis, managing data or creating tools for interpreting or managing data.
“Asset managers view us as a unique source of alpha-creating datasets and expertise,” said Shane Akeroyd, president of IHS Markit Asia and global head of account management at IHS Markit. “Whether you’re looking for alternative data within capital markets such as signals from short selling or movements in CDS, or looking for fundamental metrics for the drivers of supply and demand in major industrial sectors from aviation to telecommunications, IHS Markit has unmatched ability to deliver competitive insights.”
“With the days of easy profits long gone, and the new era of onerous regulation, continuous change and challenge by fast-moving disruptors here to stay, financial institutions need insightful, agile and innovative technology partners at their side,” said Asia Risk about IHS Markit in announcing the awards.
