Dealogic has completed the acquisition of Junction RDS (JRDS).
Founded in 2005, JRDS provides ownership analysis of UK listed companies and combines specialist research by skilled staff with proprietary analytical software.
The JRDS acquisition further enhances the Dealogic product set by providing clients with greater transparency into ownership of UK equities.
Greg Young, co-head of institutional client management at Dealogic, says: "Combining JRDS’ unique content with our already extensive coverage of global investor holdings, contacts and profiles will provide our clients with an even greater level of insight into investor behaviour globally and is a valuable addition to our Platform."
Dealogic’s global investor information is researched from offices around the world and made available to clients through the Dealogic Platform including EventManager, ConferenceManager, DealManager, Institutional Analytics and ECM Manager.
"The acquisition of JRDS is part of our strategy to deliver a platform comprised of unique and innovative technologies and content created by highly skilled people," says Tom Fleming, Dealogic chief executive. "It is an important step forward for us to enable our clients to align their efforts and resources across their various departments including capital markets, sales, research, trading, investment banking and compliance. Greater transparency of share ownership around the world is an important component of strategizing, originating and executing capital markets transactions."
