In response to increasing numbers of financial advisors using a comprehensive wealth management approach to serve their clients’ needs, Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services has released MarketScope(R) 3.0 (MSA), a platform that provides financial advisors with actionable investment intelligence and tools on multiple asset classes.
Standard & Poor’s will provide expanded coverage across the entire wealth management spectrum of products and asset classes including stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, variable annuities, and fixed income. MSA will provide interactive tools including watchlists and hypothetical and model portfolios that enable advisors to stay connected to the market and their investments.
MSA also includes analytical tools that allow for combined screening of quantitative and qualitative elements that are valuable for asset selection and diversified portfolio investing. MSA, which can be customized, integrates seamlessly into the work environment, offering added benefits of portability and flexibility.
“Now, more than ever, financial advisors who are using a holistic approach to wealth management need a central source of real-time qualitative multi-asset class analysis, thematic research, strategic asset allocation, and market commentary,” says Andrea Remyn, managing director, Equity Research, Standard & Poor’s.
“With MarketScope Advisor, financial professionals can use the knowledge and insights provided by Standard & Poor’s Equity Research Services to enhance client communications and decision-making regarding investment opportunities across asset classes and around the globe.”
