ProfileData, a leading South African investment data vendor, has been awarded a contract to supply research data by Sanlam's new online broking platform, iTrade, which launched today.

According to ProfileData director Nic Oldert iTrade will offer state-of-the-art research tools to investors that use the iTrade platform. "Profile has developed a powerful set of functions for the site. Users are able to click through to detailed company fact sheets, SENS announcements, dividend information, summarised financials, standardised ratios, consensus forecasts, and much more. The iTrade tools include interactive charts and technical analysis," says Oldert.

Profile's strong technical capabilities allow the company's data feeds and analysis tools to be integrated into portfolio management and trading systems offered by online stockbroking firms. "This is one of our strengths," says Oldert. "Investors enjoy the ability to move from a portfolio view to research data with a single click."

iTrade will be the seventh major online broker using ProfileData's research and investor tools, making Profile the leading player in this market segment. Profile is a JSE vendor and also an ACI-authorised statistics provider to the unit trust industry.
