Data Firms Join Hands for Institutional Product

January 10, 2011 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – InvestorForce, Inc. and eVestment Alliance are expanding the data partnership they formed earlier in 2010, the two companies announced.

A news release said both are Web-based investment information providers serving institutional consultants and investment managers.

The data partnership, which initially incorporated eVestment’s U.S. manager universe data into InvestorForce’s reporting platform, has been expanded to include eVestment’s manager universes for Canada, UK, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific and Australia, as well as Emerging Markets, EAFE and Global mandates, according to the announcement.

The eVestment Global Database houses information on approximately 2,500 asset managers worldwide, representing over 17,000 investment strategies.  InvestorForce said it offers the only performance measurement and reporting solution that focuses exclusively on institutional consultants that integrate the eVestment data directly into its platform for consultants’ use.
