FactSect on the buy side - Westfair Communications

FactSet Research Systems Inc. acquired StreetAccount L.L.C., which, like FactSet, offers information for investors, including market news and commentary.

Norwalk-based FactSet did not immediately disclose what it paid for StreetAccount, which has its main office in Jackson, Wyo.

“StreetAccount provides a valuable service to investment professionals, distilling the most relevant news into timely, digestible content filtered by readers’ interest,” said Goran Skoko, FactSet director of product development for market data, in a written statement. “StreetAccount content is a natural fit for FactSet that will complement our strong partnership with Dow Jones and other news vendors already available on the FactSet platform. This acquisition is right in line with FactSet’s long-term commitment to investing in unique content sets.”
