Markit has integrated its suite of exchange-traded fund products into a new web platform that delivers capabilities required for navigating the ETF business.
Mark Schaedel, managing director and global head of equity and index data services at Markit, said: “Until now, ETF investors looking for global exposure have had blind spots due to a lack of cost effective exposure to previously inaccessible asset classes.”
“The integration of our analytics into the new ETF platform helps customers navigate this fragmented market that spans over 5000 global ETFs, issued by more than 200 providers and which trade across 60 exchanges using a single view with a powerful analytics toolset layered on top.”
Markit customers can use the platform to gain greater transparency across the global ETF market. It combines the complete referential dataset spanning 5100 ETFs, full daily portfolio holdings data, announced and forecasted dividends, and more than 1300 analytical daily and historical calculations addressing the performance, liquidity, risk and benchmark tracking metrics from the launch date of each ETF.
The integrated suite enables customers to screen the global ETF marketplace and perform detailed comparative analysis at the constituent level.
