Financial information services provider Markit has added corporate events data from Wall Street Horizon to its Markit Hub platform, according to officials at both companies.
Corporate actions included in the corporate events data that Wall Street Horizon supplies include earnings dates, IPOs, dividend dates and payments, options expiration dates, board and analyst meetings, stock splits and investor conferences.
"Corporate events can have a significant impact on investment strategy, timing and outcome," says Bruce Fador, president and chief compliance officer of Wall Street Horizon. "Markit's recognition of the value in adding our forward-looking event dates lends further credence to its importance to investors."
Markit Hub is a central interface containing sell-side and independent research, company fundamentals and filings. The platform has more than 20,000 users from over 14,000 investment firms, according to the company.
"With the addition of Wall Street Horizon's events data, customers will be finely tuned to less visible, but increasingly vital indicators," says Tom Conigliaro, managing director of trading services at Markit.
