Case Study — 27 Sep, 2023

Powering the markets of the future with data and AI

Recent updates to S&P Capital IQ Pro are the culmination of integrating recent acquisitions, including IHS Markit, ChartIQ, and Kensho.

Not only is the platform carrying more data, but the way it displays data in charts and visualizations is new, too. All visualizations in the workstation now use technology from ChartIQ, meaning Capital IQ Pro can offer more technical studies than ever before.

"We have to keep up with the markets we serve, and we've seen an acceleration of innovation and the pace of development. It all comes back to being able to bring together all the datasets we offer and display them in the way clients want to work." said Warren Breakstone, Head of Desktop & Channels, S&P Global Market Intelligence.

The unique combination of Kensho machine-learning technology plus the vast datasets available on the S&P Capital IQ Pro desktop enables users to layer visualizations and analytics on top of data to inform more confident decisions. Some of these datasets come from the IHS Markit acquisition, including data on 115,000 loan facilities, along with liquidity scores and pricing. Additionally, the Doc Viewer tool, which has been available on the desktop for almost two years, uses Kensho technology to examine and extract data from lengthy company documents, such as earnings results, filings, or relevant broker research, and to identify and compare information.

The forthcoming ChatIQ generative AI enhancement is the first example of how Kensho will deploy LLM technologies across all of S&P Global. Doug Peterson, CEO of S&P Global, said "Kensho gives us an advantage [in AI], but it's not the only one," he said. "The datasets we have—large, proprietary, and truly differentiated—create a remarkable advantage for S&P Global as well."
