In a highly competitive and often fragmented market, QAI has established itself as the leading provider of multi-asset class, high-end analytics. I believe the combined capabilities of our businesses will immediately position Thomson Financial at the forefront of the solutions space for investment managers. Following the acquisition, our product suite will provide Thomson clients with one-stop access to market leading data sets, quantitative analytics and integrated delivery systems. Together, we are well positioned to penetrate new sub-segments, address expanded opportunities in new geographies and improve client performance in the $2.5 billion buy-side market.
