FE fundinfo, a new global fund data and technology leader has formally launched today, following a merger last year between FE, fundinfo and F2C.

The re-branded company will facilitate more efficient investing across the globe by connecting fund managers and fund distributors and enabling them to share and act on trusted, insightful information. It will bring together all of FE’s, fundinfo’s and F2C’s many years of investment expertise, technology, software and services into a combined and holistic fund data and technology provider.

With roots stretching back to 1996, FE fundinfo has offices in the UK, Switzerland, Luxembourg, India, Czech Republic, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, Germany, Spain, France and Italy. With more than 650 members of staff across these offices, the organisation is truly global in outlook and capability.

The company also enjoys significant market coverage in the investment industry, working with more than 3.500 advisers, paraplanning companies and compliance consultants; 1,100 asset managers; 100 banks and brokers; 15 platforms and 70 international insurance companies across the globe.

Having worked on integrating FE, fundinfo and F2C over the past year, the company will now focus on further developing and upscaling its market-leading products and services, through its unique fundinfo.cloud information marketplace. With an ambition to become the largest information marketplace in the world for investment funds, information published on fundinfo.cloud will be used by fund distributors, fund managers and financial advisers to research and select funds, with the very latest and most accurate data.

Peter Little, Chairman of FE fundinfo, said: “It is an exciting time in the global investment industry. Like many others, it is undergoing some rapid and fundamental changes which present both opportunities and challenges for those working within it. As such, there is an intrinsic need for forward-thinking and innovative organisations to service the industry’s stakeholders and to help them navigate between the challenges and opportunities. FE fundinfo will play a crucial role in providing new solutions and supporting the investment industry at every stage.

“In an industry where success is determined by the accuracy and timeliness of its data, FE fundinfo’s commitment to trust, connectivity and innovation will ensure investment professionals have the technology, data and network they need to support their clients and drive better investment decisions.”
