Markit Launches News and Data Portal
DATA DISPLAY & ANALYTICS
UK-based credit data provider Markit last week launched Markit Portal, a Web-based news and data platform. The product combines Markit's proprietary pricing across credit default swaps, bonds, loans and indices with third-party equity information, business news and research.
The global equity data is supplied by Interactive Data Corp., while news is sourced from Dow Jones Treasury News and Moreover, a real-time news technology company that aggregates news from more than 500 Web sites.
"Links from our data connect seamlessly to relevant news stories on the Web," says Markit CEO Lance Uggla, adding that the portal receives around 5,000 news stories a day. The service also shows which companies are most widely-covered in current news stories via icons on the main screen.
The portal links to independent research provided by CreditSights, KDP Investment Advisors and Standard & Poor's, although users will need their own subscriptions to each vendor's research in order to access the reports. Uggla says research from additional providers will be added.
Other upcoming additions include the ability to export data, such as graphs outlining historical price movements. Version 2 of the portal is slated for release later this year.
The portal costs $250 per user per month, although banks will need to also have a full data license to Markit's existing data service, Uggla says. Users who do not have true credit exposure, such as analysts, will not need a full data licence to access Markit Portal.
