"Taking into account the strength of our institutional data and our commitment to supporting all aspects of the new issue workflow, integrating the certificate database is a logical extension of what we do."
As a result of this acquisition, Ipreo is launching a new offering called iCompliance. Ipreo's iCompliance consists of a comprehensive online library of US compliance-related certificates, including QIB, FINRA 5130, and Regulation S Certificates. The library covers both equity- and debt-related certificates for both primary issuance and secondary trading.
The iCompliance library will be seamlessly integrated into Ipreo's sell-side solutions, including the Equity and Fixed-Income Bookbuild applications, as well as BD Advanced and BD Vision (prospecting and CRM applications that house Ipreo's industry-leading Bigdough institutional database). iCompliance is also available as a standalone product that provides access to the certificate library through an intuitive and secure interface. Clients may also choose to take the certificate data directly through a data feed.
"Clients are increasingly concerned with compliance requirements," said Bill Sherman, EVP and MD of Global Data Strategy & Analytics at Ipreo. "Taking into account the strength of our institutional data and our commitment to supporting all aspects of the new issue workflow, integrating the certificate database is a logical extension of what we do."
