Morningstar is a provider of independent investment research and it has inked a new agreement with Bats to help bolster its data feed capabilities. Bats’ One Summary Feed was originally launched back in early 2015 and features a selection of quotes and trade information that details four Bats US stock exchanges.
The new data augmentation also caters to professional investors. It will be deployed on Morningstar’s platform to its global customers this month. The partnership is also important as it will greatly extend data functionality for customers and investors, many of which can now garner advantages from Bats’ wide market scope.
