Dealogic has combined its buy-side products into a single offering, Dealogic Connect, creating an MiFID II compliant solution that links a network of 250-plus investment firms to 150-plus sell-side partners.

Dealogic Connect brings together Dealogic's acquisition of A2 Access' aggregated corporate access calendar, activity tracking and broker vote capabilities with Dealogic's recent launch of automated orders for primary market issuance.
 
Investment managers now have the ability to create an accurate, reconciled set of interaction data provided by their sell-side partners, evaluate their consumption of activities, and communicate with the sell-side in a compliant manner that meets MiFID II requirements.
 
Dealogic Connect allows investment managers to focus on generating alpha, improving profitability, and ensuring compliance. Recording, tracking, reconciling and evaluating activities, such as research and corporate access, is made simple and allows investment managers to consume the right amount of research at the right cost level to drive better investment performance within the rules specified by MiFID II.
 
"Firms who take advantage of the Dealogic network will see an improvement in their profitability as they use Dealogic Connect to focus their spend on the sell-side services they value most," says Jody Drulard (pictured), chief product officer. “And both the sell-side and buy-side can have more intelligent conversations about the right service levels to help investment managers generate alpha."
