Thomson Reuters will today unveil the biggest overhaul of its markets division since the merger that formed the financial and professional information group was completed two years ago this week.
A series of product launches starting next week and culminating in the autumn will bring together products from the former Reuters and the old Thomson Financial for the first time into two simplified platforms, one aimed at enterprises such as large banks and another aimed at individual users, such as small hedge funds.
The new web-based platforms, which replace traditional terminal commands with online search, are part of a drive to cater to “the 23-year-old at Goldman Sachs who grew up with Google”, said Devin Wenig, chief executive of Thomson Reuters Markets.
