Content and Analytics are the backbone of the information services ecosystem. The most lucid Agentic AI, the best decision support software, predictive analytics with perfect foresight, the best valuation model, none of these things have any value without the underlying financial data. In cycles going back 30 years, the fastest path to wealth has been to create a content franchise, from IBES to IHS Markit and today, from With Intelligence to Preqin.
Every content set has its own unique aspects, that determine the best path to market (and delivery channel).
- Asset class and market microstructure
- Customer type (firm type)
- Use cases (orthogonal alpha, fraud detection, default probability, macro surprises, etc.)
- Signal volatility, strength and decay
- Breadth of market insight (does it help with 50 stocks, 50,000 stocks, one economy or global, etc.)
CCAS has worked with content businesses, with all the LSEG content sets as well as with hundreds of partner firms. Whether you are at the start of your journey or an established vendor, we can help you with all aspects of product strategy, from the product itself, through to your distribution options and platforms, as well as pricing and go-to-market.
Content strategy in Financial Services
In addition to supporting vendors, CCAS also supports financial services firms as they look at their own internal content inventory. Every major bank has huge proprietary datasets that can be anonymized, aggregated and transformed into content sets of value to their customers (and often their own product and sales teams).
We can help you assess those opportunities, looking at your strategic options as well as the planning and execution elements.
