Thomson Reuters Announces Enhanced Content and Workflow for Analysts and Portfolio Managers in its Flagship Platform Eikon
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New enhancements offer powerful analytical tools and workflow capabilities to
professionals across all segments of the buy-side on an open, customizable
platform
NEW YORK/LONDON, March 10, 2016 - Responding to the needs of analysts and
portfolio managers to have access to a comprehensive suite of data, news and
analytic solutions via a single access point, Thomson Reuters today announced
that its flagship financial desktop, Eikon, now contains all of its leading
financial content sets in one platform, with web-style search and applications
for investment idea generation, all built in.
Thomson Reuters Eikon customers can now access I/B/E/S estimates, Reuters news,
unique StarMine quant models, the widest set of environmental, social and
governance (ESG) measures in the industry, a renowned Deals database, fund
ratings from Lipper, Datastream economics and other products. This is the first
time all these content sets have been available in a single platform,
potentially enabling users to make more connections between data sets, gain
unique insights and generate new ideas.
These tools are designed to enable Eikon users to accelerate their research
process by screening companies using financial measures, quantitative models,
and non-financial metrics such as environmental, social or governance data
points. Eikon is also designed for investment professionals to more easily
value securities across all asset classes in a given portfolio, with users able
to monitor their portfolios against real-time benchmarks at the portfolio,
group, and security level.
Eikon's ESG database contains information on more than 5,000 global companies
and over 400 metrics, including all exclusion (ethical screening) criteria and
all aspects of sustainability performance, offering investors a tool for in-
depth, socially responsible investment analysis.
Through App Studio, Eikon's third party development suite, specialist
applications and content can be easily integrated within the Eikon desktop. This
open approach allows users to benefit from access to financial apps created by
third party developers globally, built directly into Eikon.
"Eikon is seeing unprecedented growth among the research, portfolio management
and wealth advisory community. The growth is driven by making the full depth and
breadth of TR content and analytics integrated into the Eikon workflow and
visual experience. The addition of ESG to Eikon is another important milestone
in Eikon's evolution for buy-side users," said Ranjit Tinaikar, managing
director, advisory and investment management, Thomson Reuters. "As the search
for alpha becomes more competitive, these enhancements further reinforce our
commitment to helping our clients find the insight to generate innovative
investment ideas."
"With Eikon, the transition from a legacy system has proved to be much smoother
than expected, eliminating the fears of a steep learning curve," said Daniel
O'Reilly, vice president, portfolio analytics, Beutel, Goodman & Company, Ltd.
"The design of the new system, with its universal search function, makes finding
information very easy. Within a day or two, the new way of doing things seems
far superior to the old menu-driven interfaces on the legacy products, and
support from Thomson Reuters has been excellent."
Added Steve Wyett, SVP and chief investment strategist, private wealth, BOK
Financial: "We chose Eikon to streamline and consolidate products from multiple
vendors to a single platform across The Private Bank Investment Management
Group, giving them a powerful set of tools with a very intuitive interface. Some
of the key benefits are real-time monitoring of client portfolios, easy access
to breaking news, comprehensive Datastream charting for client presentations and
an easy to use-Excel add-in - all in a consistent platform across the team. We
also appreciate the mobile access to Eikon from different devises so we can
access market-moving information from the road. We are happy to be aligned with
a company that has shown a willingness to continue to invest in their products
to make sure they remain at the forefront of available options."
