ISS Market Intelligence Launches Simfund Total Market

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.

“Simfund Total Market addresses a critical gap in asset management industry reporting by delivering access to a broader set of data across vehicles and asset classes consolidated in one platform,” said Ben Doob, Managing Director and Head of ISS MI. “We’ve invested heavily to integrate this expanded data set into Simfund’s powerful engine, which provides flexible analysis, reporting, dashboards, research insights, and unrivalled user experience.”

With the integration of institutional and retail market data, Simfund Total Market offers the most comprehensive tool to conduct industry-wide market and strategic analysis across a broad set of vehicle types, while maintaining a longstanding commitment to data quality and accuracy.

Simfund Total Market provides users the ability to:

  • Size the market and evaluate trends across vehicle types and asset classes.
  • Identify and understand competitor profiles and market share.
  • Conduct peer benchmarking for strategies across institutional and retail segments.
  • Analyze strategies across vehicle types and asset classes, including alternatives and other more opaque institutional data, using a comprehensive and consistent proprietary product category classification to find opportunities in both institutional and retail segments.

“We want to be the partner of choice for our clients, helping them answer their most critical strategic and financial questions by providing comprehensive data, expert insights, and engaging content,” said Doob. “With the launch of Simfund Total Market, we’re more uniquely positioned than ever to be that partner, and to help our clients make better decisions in their pursuit of profitable growth.”
