It compares effectiveness across different providers, bringing various forms of research into a single platform for enhanced visibility.
 
Vishnu Thurpati, CEO of Invisage, says: “As a leading technology solutions provider for global investment firms, Linedata is a great partner to help Invisage reach a comprehensive level of hedge funds and asset managers. We believe Invisage complements Linedata’s existing offers and will deliver cost-savings and enhanced portfolio performance for their clients.”
 
Ed Gouldstone, Global Head of R&D for Asset Management at Linedata, says: “In a post-MiFID II environment, fund managers are under increased pressure to streamline research budgets while continuing to deliver returns for clients. Offering access to Invisage’s cutting-edge solution not only helps our clients navigate these pressures but represents the next step in our mission to enhance operational efficiency and provide access to the best quality data.”
