We are #Refinitiv. A bold young company with deep roots in financial services and risk. We are focused on refining and deploying data to power and advance financial communities.
In a world of almost limitless information, our customers need answers and new insights, at speed, to drive performance. We offer rich data, deep expertise and powerful technology.
We became Refinitiv in October 2018 after Blackstone – along with funds from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC – acquired 55% of Thomson Reuters Financial & Risk from Thomson Reuters. Thomson Reuters retains a 45% equity stake in our new company.
The high-profile acquisition led by Blackstone and its partners gave us fresh capital and focus to accelerate investment in our future as a world-class data and technology company. Across all our growth-driven initiatives, we are firmly committed to taking big leaps forward for our diverse financial services customers. With Blackstone, we defined a new direction for the business.
We are expanding our data content and analytics, we have supercharged our Data Platform and expanded into frontier markets.
We supply data to almost every part of the financial ecosystem. We send approximately 40 billion market updates per day. We are one of the largest providers of FX venues, trading over $400 billion in FX and we are a leader in fixed income with over $500 billion traded in fixed income, including via our Tradeweb fixed income platform (in which we have an approximate 54% interest).
We also help customers fight financial crime, ensure transparency in their supply chains and meet complex compliance obligations through our Risk products.
We are growing at pace from a very strong base that is firmly built on our long-standing and enviable track record as a fintech champion – having always been at the vanguard of technological innovation.
In fact, our heritage dates back more than 165 years to when we took flight as the world’s first-ever fintech company. Paul Julius Reuter solved a key finance data challenge in 1851 when he used pigeons to carry stock market quotations between Aachen and Brussels, until a reliable telegraph link became available.
Later in that decade in 1858, the undersea cable that connected the UK with the U.S. enabled our colleagues to demonstrate their expertise in global currency exchange.
Then in the 1860s, we were at the forefront of telegraphic communications, connecting financial companies around the world with vital information and data in a matter of minutes, through our expanding international footprint in cities such as Singapore, Alexandria and what was then Bombay (now Mumbai).
Fast forward to the 1960s and we had entered a highly dynamic period where we were leading many technological advances. In 1964 our Stockmaster machines carried market prices from New York to London for delivery around Europe. We then launched Monitor Money Rates Service in 1973, creating the first electronic marketplace for FX.
We intensified our innovative approach through the decades, always focused on benefitting our customers’ rapidly evolving needs. We spearheaded automated communications between traders and back offices, advanced live-pricing offerings, and reduced latency in the distribution of complex financial services information.
As financial markets became more sophisticated and globalized, Thomson Reuters was born in 2008 following the merger of Reuters Group and The Thomson Corporation. The merger created one of the largest providers of financial information and data in the world.
We launched the next-generation desktop Eikon, providing access to trusted news, data and analytics for the financial community in 2010 – and have since followed up with various enhancements.
In 2011, the acquisition of World-Check created our Risk business, bringing data, human intelligence and advanced technology together to combat financial crime. In 2012, we acquired FXall, a leading multi-bank electronic foreign exchange platform, and in 2017, our acquisition of REDI allowed us to offer an end-to-end trading solution for the buy-side community. Just last year we rolled out our Refinitiv Data Platform, offering depth of coverage integrated with customer proprietary data and third-party sources.
While we are all proud of our rich and varied heritage, the future promises to be an awe-inspiring journey of discovery of data and technology for us and our 40,000 customers across the world.
