NEW YORK (December 5, 2022) – ISS Market Intelligence (ISS MI), a unit of Institutional Shareholder Services and leading global provider of data, analytics, insights, media, and events solutions to the global financial services industry, today announced the launch of Simfund Total Market, a significant enhancement to ISS MI’s Simfund Platform which provides a consolidated view of institutional and retail assets. The Simfund Platform, which enables asset managers, investment banks, private equity, and other firms to find growth opportunities through market sizing and customized analyses, now covers over 120,000 financial products and more than $100 trillion in AUM, nearly doubling the coverage compared to retail products alone.

- Size the market and evaluate trends across vehicle types and asset classes.
