Winners Rationale

“FactSet is recognised as Best Market Data Solution for its evolution from a traditional data provider into a critical data and analytics backbone for private banks and wealth managers in APAC. Its offering goes beyond delivering market data feeds, providing a unified, normalised data architecture that supports the full investment lifecycle — from portfolio construction and analytics to reporting, compliance and client engagement,” said Audrey Raj, editor of Asian Private Banker.

“A key strength lies in its ability to integrate high-quality, multi-asset datasets directly into advisor desktops, client portals and internal systems. By embedding real-time pricing, fundamentals, ESG and alternative data within existing workflows, FactSet enables more informed, timely decision-making while reducing operational friction. This approach also addresses a major industry pain point in APAC — data fragmentation — by ensuring consistency across front, middle and back-office functions.

“FactSet’s open and modular architecture further differentiates its solution. Through APIs, cloud distribution and flexible integration capabilities, firms can consolidate disparate data sources, reduce vendor complexity and modernise legacy infrastructure without large-scale system overhauls.

“With continued investment in AI-driven data validation, cross-dataset intelligence and expanded regional coverage, FactSet is well positioned to support the growing demand for scalable, insight-led and highly personalised wealth management services across Asia.”
