Thomson ONE, the innovative trading and market data platform offered by Thomson Financial, has now added TSX/CP Equities News, the most comprehensive, bilingual, real-time news service of Canadian corporate news. Targeted at the financial professional community, TSX-CP Equities News combines the market data knowledge and experience of the TSX Group’s exchanges (Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange) and the newsgathering expertise of The Canadian Press.
TSX/CP Equities News provides a unique window on the Canadian equity market that is crucial for financial professionals interested in news from Canadian companies. TSX/CP Equities News provides news from Canadian companies, both public and private, across a broad spectrum. The news service also provides alerts, economic and fiscal coverage and all related political and regulatory news from Ottawa and all provincial capitals.
TSX Datalinx, which spearheaded this initiative, believes there is a market for this type of news product among traders, private client advisors, discount brokers and other market participants. Eric Sinclair, Senior Vice-President, TSX Datalinx, said “there are 14 Canadian Press news bureaus and offices (13 across Canada and Washington, D.C.) staffed with 250 journalists. CP's bilingual news service has the resources to focus on the more than 3,000 listed issuers on the TSX Group's exchanges. By combining the capital markets expertise of TSX and business journalist expertise of CP, we are providing a comprehensive Canadian capital markets news service for all investors.”
Matthew Burkley, senior vice president of news and strategy, Thomson Financial, added, “Our global news strategy is to deliver tailored market-specific information to clients in the business and financial communities. We are excited that our relationship with TSX/CP Equities News will provide financial professionals in Canada a targeted financial news service tailored to their needs and integrated with our market-leading proprietary content and applications.”
“The Canadian Press is a dynamic, agile, bilingual news agency, driven by leadingedge technology and the proven ability to serve multimedia news to multiple platforms. Above and beyond all, CP continues to be an organization driven by a quest for firstrate journalism and is committed to being the leader in providing the Canadian capital markets with the most in depth business coverage,” said Eric Morrison, President, The Canadian Press. “We are proud to partner with two other great Canadian companies, TSX and Thomson Financial.”
Thomson Financial has seen a greater presence at the centre of Canada’s business community as a content provider and a sponsor of market data to the TSX Broadcast Centre. As well, all market data workstations within the TSX organization utilize Thomson ONE for streaming quotes and index information, together with other key investment content including institutional ownership data, charting capabilities, trades and quotes, broker summaries, total return information, price history, short interest reports, corporate actions and analyst mean earnings estimates. Thomson Financial and TSX partnered earlier this year to deliver TSXconnect -- a customized version of Thomson ONE that provides a single, integrated platform for financial data. TSX is the exclusive provider of this product in Canada.
