The Profile Group, South Africa's leading independent investment research and data aggregator, has concluded a deal to supply the Independent Media Group with the full range of investment data for distribution to its client base via their online portals:

• Personal Finance magazine (www.iol.co.za/personal-finance).

The investment data covering both JSE listed securities and collective investment schemes is provided to the Independent Media Group from Profile’s ShareData™ and FundsData™ services:

• ShareData™ (www.sharedata.co.za) provides a single source of comprehensive listed company information. The Profile research team strives to capture all pieces of relevant information for every listed company ranging from address details to comprehensive financial data. ShareData™ also includes market indices, currency, commodity and other financial data.
• FundsData™ (www.fundsdata.co.za) provides a one-stop data solution covering every aspect of the collective investment schemes industry, including unit trust fact sheets and fund performance data.

“Up-to-date, reliable and accurate investment data is the key to successful investing,” says Profile's chairman, Ernie Alexander. “IOL Business online users and its traditional readership base are now able to access JSE securities, currencies, commodities and global market indicators, as well as all the domestic collective investment schemes (unit trusts) at the click of a button. We have worked long and hard building up our database of aggregated investment and financial information. With the right data, investors can stay informed, and make better and wiser investment decisions. That's our business," says Alexander.
