A fireside chat with FactSet’s David Mellars

WatersTechnology caught up with David Mellars, senior vice president and senior director of institutional buy-side product management at FactSet, to discuss the firm’s private markets data strategy, the relationship between risk and performance on the buy side, and FactSet’s fixed income track record stretching back two decades.   

• What are the challenges facing market participants when it comes to private markets data, and how can FactSet help them address those challenges through its capital markets experience?
• What are FactSet’s particular strengths on the ex-post and ex-ante risk fronts, and what differentiates the firm in what is arguably the most mature and competitive segment across the buy side?
• What is FactSet’s proposition on the risk and performance measurement/attribution front, and what are buy-side firms looking for when it comes to technology to manage those critical middle-office functions?
• What has been FactSet’s journey down the fixed-income path since its acquisition of Derivatives Solutions in August 2005?
