Fininfo, a leading provider of financial information in Europe, has signed an agreement to distribute the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) database on its FinWin and Finalim products.
The agreement means that Fininfo will distribute ICB information across a range of financial institutions throughout Europe.
ICB was launched in January 2005 by Dow Jones Indexes and FTSE Group, and is quickly establishing itself as a global classification standard.
ICB data will be available to financial market Front-Office operators such as managers, traders, corporate treasurers and analysts via the FinWin terminal. Back-Office specialists will also be able to access ICB data through the Finalim datafeed request system.
Arnould Moyne, marketing director of Fininfo says "ICB is a truly global standard of classification covering a broad range of securities across the world. We chose ICB as it provides the flexibility and coverage our clients require."
James Cemprola, managing director of ICB says "ICB offers comprehensive global coverage and an innovative classification structure that appeals to clients across the investment community. We are delighted that Fininfo has signed on as a key distributor to financial firms throughout Europe."
