Macrobond Announces Partnership with FactSet

Macrobond, a platform for conducting economic and financial analysis using an extensive data library, has announced its partnership with FactSet, a US-based financial data and software company.

According to the official press release, the latest partnership aims to deliver unparalleled insight into the dynamics of global equity markets. The new dataset, which combines FactSet’s deep insights into individual stocks with Macrobond’s cutting-edge platform for top-down analysis, allows users to efficiently form an aggregate view of the market by index, sector, country and other categories. In addition, users will be able to obtain a broad range of data such as ownership and corporate governance.

“Economists, strategists and asset allocators will welcome a credible new entrant that combines traditional measures, such as PE and EPS estimates, with more topical data such as ESG and investor sentiment. The expansive library of traditional content and alternative data allows additional themes, such as the number of women holding board positions, to be researched and analysed to support investment decisions and builds on Macrobond’s market leading position as a supplier of top down ESG/SRI time-series data,” said Howard Rees, Chief Commercial Officer of Macrobond.

As Fazzaco reported earlier, FactSet has announced its appointment of Linda S. Huber​ as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective October 2021. Huber will be responsible for leading FactSet’s global finance organization as well as overseeing all financial functions, including accounting, corporate development, financial planning and analysis (FP&A), treasury, tax, and investor and media relations.
