The acquisition adds BISAM’s B-One cross-asset performance measurement solution, which complements FactSet’s portfolio analytics and client reporting, as well as BISAM’s Cognity product, which builds out FactSet’s risk analyses for derivatives and quantitative portfolio construction. BISAM’s 160 employees will join FactSet.

Commenting on the acquisition, Phil Snow, CEO at FactSet, says: “As investment processes and asset types become more complex, the financial community is seeking increased insight and transparency on performance and risk. Over the past 20 years, we have continuously invested to evolve our analytics solutions through innovation, acquisition and strategic relationships. The combination of BISAM and FactSet allows us to better serve critical workflows throughout the portfolio lifecycle and fulfill our clients’ need for more consistent performance and risk data.”
