S&P Capital IQ secures Regal mandate



Standard & Poor’s has moved to cement its place in the market following its withdrawal from conventional funds ratings, announcing this week that S&P Capital IQ had been chosen to provide analytical tools and market data and proprietary content to Regal Funds Management.
Announcing the arrangement, S&P Capital IQ said the combined solution would provide Regal Funds with a robust research capability to support the firm’s continued performance in a challenging market, both domestically in Australia and globally.
The mandate had been won following a competitive review process.
