RSRCHXchange has added market data analytics provider OTAS Technologies to its RSRCHX online marketplace platform for institutional research.
The platform, built to help improve the research selection and purchasing process for asset management institutions, aims to make the experience more efficient, while also helping asset managers to be prepared for the transparency requirements of Market in Financial Infrastructure Directive (MiFID) II.
It also offers a distribution tool intended to reduce administration in research, and makes payments terms simpler and faster.
OTAS provides information to help portfolio managers make investment decisions using market intelligence with pre-trade and trade analytics products, as well as big-data analysis and artificial intelligence.
Through RSRCHX, it will expand its reach to a wider range of asset managers, and provide access to relevant signals and risk forecasts, while identifying investment of trading opportunities, and anticipating changes to the risk landscape.
Tom Doris, CEO of OTAS, said: “As a firm, we are always looking to improve our reach into the asset management community, to offer access to analysis necessary to make better investment decisions.”
“RSRCHXchange not only helps us market our insights better, but the onboarding process ensures that the necessary compliance checks are carried out up-front, making our content instantly accessible on the RSRCHX platform once onboarded.”
Vicky Sanders, co-CEO of RSRCHXchange, added: “The incoming regulatory changes around unbundling bring great opportunities for asset managers to access a wider range of research, and we are thrilled to make our partners’ unique insights available to a wider audience via our platform.”
