This Monday, over a year after the merger of FE, Fundinfo and F2C, UK-based FE Fundinfo has officially unveiled itself as a global fund data and technology service, which it says is “holistic” and connects fund managers, fund distributors and financial advisers across the world.
The combined entity benefits from the three companies’ investment expertise, technology, software and services. The company will now focus on further developing its products through its fundinfo.cloud information marketplace, it said.
FE Fundinfo will allow fund managers and fund distributors to connect and share information, given that information published on fundinfo.cloud will allow fund distributors, fund managers and financial advisers to research and select funds with the latest data.
Peter Little, Chairman of FE fundinfo, says: “It is an exciting time in the global investment industry. Like many others, it is undergoing some rapid and fundamental changes which present both opportunities and challenges for those working within it. As such, there is an intrinsic need for forward-thinking and innovative organisations to service the industry’s stakeholders and to help them navigate between the challenges and opportunities. FE fundinfo will play a crucial role in providing new solutions and supporting the investment industry at every stage. In an industry where success is determined by the accuracy and timeliness of its data, FE fundinfo’s commitment to trust, connectivity and innovation will ensure investment professionals have the technology, data and network they need to support their clients and drive better investment decisions.”
With roots stretching back to 1996, FE fundinfo has offices in the UK, Switzerland, Luxembourg, India, Czech Republic, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, Germany, Spain, France and Italy. With more than 650 members of staff across these offices, the organisation is truly global in outlook and capability.
The company also enjoys significant market coverage in the investment industry, working with more than 3.500 advisers, paraplanning companies and compliance consultants; 1,100 asset managers; 100 banks and brokers; 15 platforms and 70 international insurance companies across the globe.
