How does FinTech Studios augment S&P Capital IQ?
S&P Capital IQ is a research platform built for fundamentals, analyst estimates, private markets data, and financial modeling workflows. It is essential infrastructure for equity research and corporate finance.
FinTech Studios is an intelligence engine that operates across a different dimension — continuously monitoring global unstructured sources (news, regulatory filings, blogs, social media) across 100+ languages and synthesizing them into cited, explainable insights. Where Capital IQ provides the structured data for valuation and modeling, FTS provides the narrative signals, emerging themes, and contextual intelligence that inform those models. Many teams use both: Capital IQ for fundamentals-driven research, FTS for continuous intelligence that surfaces what's changing and why it matters.
