LSEG and Dun & Bradstreet are expanding access to private markets data, which is said to be essential for driving impact in capital markets.
LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) and Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB), announced a collaboration in order to broaden access to private market information.
The combination of LSEG’s capital markets data, including deals, private equity, news and research, with Dun & Bradstreet’s private market data providing visibility on officers and directors, ownership insights and financial information for companies, will enable investment and capital market firms to drive “better data-driven financial assessments and decisions.”
This relationship provides the ability to enhance content discoverability of data areas, including Ownership & Shareholder Information and Officers and Directors data, as well as the opportunity “to further work together to develop new connected private market data sets to optimize capital market use cases.”
The Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S Number, a nine-digit identifier for over a half billion public and private companies, will be available to LSEG Workspace’s customer community and therefore “increase its reach into the capital markets as a new and expanding vertical.”
Using the D-U-N-S Number as the key to unlock data about a business, LSEG’s Workspace users will be able to search for private company data and download the data to “improve mapping, discoverability and interoperability of content on global public and private companies.”
The D-U-N-S Number provides linkage across business relationships, employees, and subsidiaries, enabling users of LSEG Workspace to “gain a better view of an enterprise’s corporate structure, ownership and financial health.”
As mentioned in the announcement, LSEG is working with Dun & Bradstreet to develop a new private market data feed, which is expected to “be available for customers in 2025, as the companies continue to explore additional use cases and distribution opportunities together.”
