The focus on making risk management an easier process has been a common theme in the investment industry as of late. FactSet’s Chris Ellis, senior vice president and director of analytical products, and Ken Zockoll, senior vice president and director of content development, recently sat down with the A-Team Group to discuss a solution that brings together four key pieces of FactSet’s data offering to enable firms to track granular parent/child hierarchy data for individual securities.

As stated in the article, FactSet currently has close to 2.6 million securities linked to 181,000 issuing entities while maintaining the relationships between the entities themselves via 250,000 unique parent/child hierarchies. 

Following the signing of a joint venture with the London Stock Exchange (LSE) in February to add its entity data to the UnaVista platform, FactSet has been focused on adding another string to its entity data bow by building a single name exposure offering, which it plans to launch before the end of the year.
