The acquisition will create a premium offering of fundamental investment research capabilities on S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Capital IQ Pro research and analysis platform.

It enhances the investment research process by extracting meaningful value from sell-side data and analytics, including full working models from partnerships with about two hundred of the world’s premier investment research organisations.

The company was founded in 2015 and is backed by a group of investment banks that expect to continue contributing data following the acquisition.

Adam Kansler, president of S&P Global Market Intelligence, says: “Visible Alpha has built an incredible reputation in the market and will further strengthen the quality of our offering. We have followed the company’s growth and have been impressed with its pace of innovation and the valuable insights it provides to its customers.”
