COMPANY PROFILE
S&P Capital IQ is a multinational financial information provider headquartered in New York City,
United States, and a division of McGraw Hill Financial.
S&P Capital IQ was formed in 2010 from offerings previously provided by Capital IQ, elements of
S&P including Global Credit Portal and Market Scope Advisor, enterprise solutions such as S&P
Securities Evaluations and Compustat, research offerings including Leveraged Commentary &
Data, Global Markets Intelligence, and company and fund research

History
Capital IQ was founded in 1999 by Neal Goldman, Steve Turner and Randall Winn. They sold the
business to McGraw Hill in 2004 and Randall Winn served as the CEO/Executive Managing
Director of Capital IQ, Inc., operating the business as a relatively standalone subsidiary until April
1, 2011. At that point, Winn left and the company and its various functions were fully merged with
other parts of S&P to become part of McGraw-Hill Financial.
Capital IQ grew very rapidly to become one of the leading providers of software, data and
analytics to the financial services community. In 2002 Capital IQ announced its 100th customer;
in 2011, CIQ press releases described having more than 4,500 customers and more than 5,000
employees.
Capital IQ grew organically and through acquisition. Reported acquisitions included: Simply
Stocks (an Indian fundamental data provider), Heale Financial (a provider of international
ownership data), ClariFI (a provider of software and services to quantitative portfolio managers)
and TheMarkets.com (a provider of aggregated research solutions). On Feb. 9, 2012, S&P
Capital IQ announced it has acquired R2 Financial Technologies, a leading provider of advanced
risk and scenario-based analytics to traders, portfolio and risk managers for pricing, hedging and
capital management across asset classes. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. On 3 April
2012, S&P Capital IQ acquired the privately owned Quant House to provide McGraw Hill
Financial tools in the real time space as the group tries to accelerate growth in the financial
services business, which competes with Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters and Fact set. Terms of
the deal were not disclosed. Quant House will provide end-to-end systematic low-latency market
data solutions and offers real-time monitors, derived data sets and analytics as well as the ability
to package and resell this data as part of a core solution for S&P Capital IQ. On 29 June 2012,
S&P Capital IQ acquired Credit Market Analysis Limited (CMA) from the CME group. CMA
provides independent data concerning the over-the-counter markets. CMas data and technology

will enhance S&P Capital IQ's capability to provide pricing and related over-the-counter
information.
