"GL TRADE is continually extending the scale and depth of essential market data. The partnership with JCF enables end users to take positions based upon the analysts recommendations. " said Nicolas Levy, Marketing and Communications Director at GL TRADE.

" The JCF Group is pleased to make its data available to a new range of end users since historically JCF provided its data to fund managers . . In just one single click, GL WIN users can access analyst forecasts or recommendations which are updated daily " said Colin Rogers, Managing Director of the JCF Group.

The consensus can be accessed through the Profiles and Estimates function, the new financial content option of " Equities Scope ", now available on GL WIN work stations.
