Interactive Data helped to build a comprehensive suite of financial tools, as well as provided market data and research components, for Scivantage’s financial advisory and retail investor clients. These include: a detailed market overview page, which provides the market movement of the day with mini-charts of the top indices, a market snapshot, a list of most actives, and top news headlines. Additionally, company profiles and a market movers page provide more in-depth information on individual companies and the U.S. markets at large. Sophisticated charts, portfolios, alerts and screeners round out the solution.

Each of these new portals has been configured to meet the look and feel of a customer’s corporate design, while maintaining their cohesiveness and functionality.”

“We were very happy to work with Scivantage to help enhance their suite of financial tools and market data information which we believe will be crucial to their core customers – brokers, bankers, and other investors making financial decisions,” said Luan Cox, general manager of Interactive Data Managed Solutions (Americas). “Our highly skilled team worked together with Scivantage to provide improved portfolio tracking functionality.”
