Historically, investors who wanted access to a specific investment strategy would buy baskets of individual securities or use specialized managers. This was often research intensive & expensive. The introduction of ETFs changed this - it now gave them tradable, transparent, low cost access to specific asset classes & strategies. This resulted in an explosion in the availability of ETF products. Consequently, there is a need for institutional quality data & tools to analyze, compare and monitor ETFs. First Bridge addresses this problem by creating high quality ETF data & analytic dashboards that integrate directly into a professional investor's workflow.

First Bridge provides data & analytics that help to quickly generate investment insights & monitor risk for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Our clients are asset managers and financial software platforms, and they tend to be innovative, early adopters of ETF products & data. We collaborate closely with our clients, often creating new & unique datasets for global ETFs. This includes daily ETF holdings, comparison tools and ETF risk monitoring dashboards.
