Merrill Lynch HSBC Canada is to complement its research offering with online access to market data and analysis from Morningstar Canada and Briefing.com.
Morningstar Canada provides investors with investment data, research, analysis and editorial commentary for Canadian mutual funds. The company's Portfolio X-ray Tool will allow MLHSBC clients to determine a portfolio's asset allocation, analyse holdings or quote list for total exposure to each stock sector, and verify exposure to different world regions.
Briefing.com provides live analysis of US stock and US fixed income markets. Clients can track stock movers throughout the day; receive live updates on ratings changes direct from brokerage firms and analysis of earnings reports; and access market news, daily analysis of technology stocks, calendars of corporate actions, and ratings on 26 market sectors.
Peter Hickman, president and CEO of Merrill Lynch HSBC Canada, says: "What's unique about our enhanced research service is that both Morningstar Canada and Briefing.com are integrated seamlessly into our client Web site - invest.mlhsbc.ca."
