Thomson Financial, an operating unit of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE:TOC;TSX:TOC) and leading provider of information and technology solutions to the worldwide financial community, today announced the launch of Thomson ONE for Investment Management, a new workflow package for portfolio managers, research analysts and economists.
Thomson ONE for Investment Management combines Thomson Datastream's encyclopedic databases with the new interactive portfolio analytics service, in addition to Thomson's global real-time market data and news, and extensive estimates, research and fundamental content.
Donal Smith, Chief Operating Officer - Europe, Thomson Financial commented: "For the first time, we have been able to integrate our market leading investment management products to deliver our clients a solution that is completely aligned to the way they work. Thomson ONE for Investment Management will help users keep abreast of the changing investment landscape, spot trends and identify opportunities, manage their research requirements with interactive tools and undertake performance attribution. Our single, customisable platform will have a tangible effect in helping to improve clients' productivity and efficiency."
Thomson ONE for Investment Management has been built around investment management workflows. The open application framework reflects and facilitates many different functions, from uncovering opportunities and evaluating market trends to understanding and communicating sources of portfolio performance. Interactive functionality gives quick and easy access to in-depth content across the available data universe, making it easy to move between key data sets and analytic or charting tools, while maintaining context on a particular company. Users can easily navigate from monitoring a ticker in real-time to viewing the company's broker estimates or charting its historical time series versus the sector or market.
The new package contains the full breadth and depth of Thomson Datastream's financial and economics databases, as well as its full set of charting and Microsoft Office interface tools. Existing Datastream users will also find new functionality, including access to real-time prices from within the MS Excel interface.
In addition, the package allows users to access industry-leading portfolio analytics. This set of highly interactive tools provides performance attribution and portfolio profiling. The intuitive, graphical format enables drill-down access to a portfolio and identifies exceptions that require further research.
The Thomson ONE open application framework enhances users' workflow, enabling portfolios to be viewed in real-time. Similarly, users can research and create their watch list of stocks in Thomson Datastream, or using Thomson Financial's estimates and fundamental content and then monitor them in real-time.
