Thomson Financial has enhanced its French equity-research capabilities with the addition of CAI Cheuvreux, a company that has been top-ranked by Reuters, Institutional Investor, and Agefi as the best provider of French company research, according to the announcement. Another organization, BCSH Bolsa SV SA, will provide coverage of Spanish companies and industries, including telecommunications, energy, and banking.
“As globalization has become widespread, it’s more important than ever to have access to the best global company and investment research,” said Jim Bode, senior vice president for content development at Thomson Financial. “With the recent addition of firms like CAI Cheuvreux and others, the Investext database stays in step with the dizzying pace of global business, helping users gain a competitive edge.”
