The strategic relationship between FactSet and ONEaccess will enable FactSet users to discover corporate access events, create a research valuation framework and carry out a quantitative broker vote within FactSet’s Research Management Solutions (RMS). To accomplish this, three new applications will be made available via subscription through the FactSet workstation and the stand-alone Code Red system: ONEaccess Forward Calendar, ONEaccess Resource Tracking and ONEaccess Broker Vote. FactSet users will have the ability to launch any of these applications to initiate corporate access event discovery and research valuation directly into their existing workflow.

FactSet’s RMS is a single source for broker and third-party research globally and provides a centralized location for research collection, sharing, annotation, and collaboration in a manner that supports today’s global regulations. This full-service solution allows firms to integrate with their own proprietary processes and maintain an audit trail that tracks the rationale behind trades to both investors and regulators alike while providing evidence of the valuable research services provided to clients.

”With new disclosure obligations as well as more stringent tracking, many research, sales, and trading teams are seeking a comprehensive solution,” explained David Hannibal, Manager of Channel Partners, FactSet. “The combination of FactSet and ONEaccess offers a seamlessly integrated solution with the scale, breadth, and depth needed to assist our clients with MiFID II compliance.”

“As investors prepare to comply with MiFID II requirements, ONEaccess offers a flexible approach for tracking, managing and valuing research, corporate access and events,” said Mike Stepanovich, CEO of ONEaccess. “From one place, FactSet users will be able to access all relevant research content and evaluate it according to their unique preferences. This is important for compliance with MiFID II regulations in Europe and is quickly becoming a best practice in the U.S.”
