Customised Data Solutions

ProfileData™ takes pride in being the leading South African financial data feed solutions provider. Our specialised local research teams, together with our relationships with international exchanges and data providers allow you access to a wide range of data options for both in-house needs and for on-distribution to your customer base.

Profile's specialised team takes pride in building turnkey solutions that meet your specified needs at a defined cost. Profile's infrastructure allows cost-effective hosting and solutions management, reducing the need for expensive capital cost.

Our local websites, ShareData™ and FundsData™, contain most of the data elements that can be customised to suit the South African market needs. Profile's model allows institutions the right to on-distribute the data to their users in a customised format. By using the clients own brand and look and feel in a seamless manner, we offer a unique turnkey service, saving huge development and upfront capital cost.

Data can also be shipped in a raw format allowing institutions the flexibility of building their own data models for internal and external research.

The data covers all ASISA-registered retail funds, as well as FSB offshore registered Unit Trusts in South Africa. Where necessary we also research and maintain data for non-retail (institutional funds/classes) on a case-by-case basis.

Profile IR offers a range of web-based investor relations data services designed to enhance listed company websites. These include end-of-day prices (updated daily), live prices (updated continually, 15 mins delayed), news and SENS feeds, email alert services, and interactive charting options.

A Pro-Active Service

ProfileData's research department monitors listed company activity on a real-time basis. This enables us to be pro-active rather than reactive – ie, we nag our clients if they have forgotten to update their website rather than the other way around.

Customisable

Although built on proven designs and delivery methods, ProfileData's IT team can customise the IR data services to meet each client's technical and design requirements.
