FactSet, a global provider of integrated financial information has opened a new office in Johannesburg as it seeks to grow presence in Africa. The new office will serve the Company’s growing client base in South Africa and provide a springboard for future expansion on the African continent.
Experienced members of FactSet’s dedicated client account teams and industry-leading consultants are now located at The Workspace, 44 Melrose Boulevard in the Melrose Arch precinct of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs.
The new office gives investment professionals direct access to FactSet’s client service team across the company’s product suite including the industry-leading capabilities of FactSet’s most recent acquisition—portfolio performance, risk, and attribution provider BISAM.
