It is the first such vendor to offer in-depth Financial Express funds data as part of its market data application service.

KTS QuoteTerminal offers real-time UK stockmarket prices and news, as well as analytics and market commentary, seamlessly integrated into a single complete package.

The data includes daily prices, performance comparisons, details of the fund and fund manager and a breakdown of its most significant holdings.

The addition of Financial Express funds data adds increased value to the comprehensive KTS QuoteTerminal service and further broadens its appeal to investment professionals. Already more than 120 client organisations currently subscribe to KTS QuoteTerminal.
