Refinitiv has
entered a new strategic agreement with FinTech Studios, an
AI-based news, market intelligence and analytics provider, to
provide industry, local and regional news, and research to wealth
management professionals across Latin America.
FinTech Studios uses artificial intelligence and machine learning
to pull out information on markets and companies around the
world.
“Our partnership with Refinitiv will provide Refinitiv clients
with access to millions of global sources of relevant news,
events and market intelligence in 48 languages,” Jim Tousignant,
CEO and founder of FinTech Studios, said. (FinTech Studios was
founded in 2014.)
Charles Smith, head of digital solutions, in the wealth business
at Refinitiv, said: “Latin America continues to be an exciting
emerging market for our Refinitiv Wealth Solutions products, and
this partnership will strengthen our ability to provide content
and services curated for financial professionals throughout the
region.”
Refinitiv said Latin America is an important market for its
business, citing figures from the International Monetary Fund
showing that the region experienced stronger-than-expected
performance in 2020 and is projected to exceed 4 per cent GDP
growth for 2021.
In March, Refinitiv launched its new digital collaboration
capability - Refinitiv Wealth Connect - which is designed to help
wealth management firms and advisors cope with the way in which
technology is transforming the industry.
