HVMI is built on a flexible open platform and can be accessed via Refinitiv Workspace for Wealth Advisors or an integrated API. Refinitiv has a rich history of servicing the Wealth Management industry from front to back office. Over the last year, the firm has invested heavily in the business and is committed to bringing the most advanced solutions to the market. The ongoing transformation includes building out the firm’s solutions through strategic acquisitions such as Scivantage and the launch of Refinitiv Digital Investor.
London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has recently completed its $27 billion acquisition of Refinitiv, which was built out of the Financial and Risk division of Thomson Reuters in 2018.
LSEG has issued Refinitv about a 37% economic interest and a 29% voting interest in the stock exchange operator. The important milestone will have new Refinitiv executives joining LSEG and brings together the two complementary businesses in their quest to provide data, trading tools, analytics, and risk management across the financial markets.
As founding CEO and Board Member of Refinitiv, David Craig will be leading the Data & Analytics division of LSEG as well as being Chief Executive of Refinitiv. Craig helped establish Refinitiv out of the Financial and Risk division of Thomson Reuters in 2018.
He also sits on the World Economic Forum’s Banking Governors Board and the Advisory Council of TheCityUK, and chair the UK Treasury’s India UK Financial Partnership. In addition, Craig is a member of the UK Government’s Trade Advisory Group for Financial Services.
The deal significantly accelerates LSEG’s existing strategy to be a leading global financial markets infrastructure provider and to markedly expand its data and analytics offering to create a global multi-asset class capital markets business. Originally, the firm planned to complete the transaction in H1 2020.
