S&P expands research service
Chris Dalton
Standard & Poor’s has signed distribution deals with two major, specialised research houses in an effort to enhance its fund ratings and research service.
Subscribers to the S&P service will now be able to access research from superannuation research house SuperRatings and securities research house Aegis Equities Research via the S&P website for an additional fee.
S&P managing director Chris Dalton said the deals were part of the organisation’s strategy to become a “one-stop shop” for financial research.
“Providing our subscribers with access to quality, independent Australian equity research along with independent research on all major super funds helps complete our content offering.”
“… By aggressively growing our content and distribution we aim to position ourselves as the premium research provider to the Australian wealth management market.”
