ISS Market Intelligence (ISS MI), a leading global provider of data and insights to the global financial services industry, announces the offering of a revolutionary Simfund dataset that, for the first time, provides a comprehensive view of CITs. The dataset sheds light on the US$6 trillion CIT market, which has long been considered opaque, offering remarkable clarity for asset managers seeking to optimize their product development strategies.
The use of CITs has doubled in the last decade, now accounting for just over 50 percent of target-date assets. Due to their self-reported nature, up until now, it has been difficult for asset managers to track these flows compared with mutual funds.
Simfund is the premier business intelligence platform for the asset management industry with comprehensive coverage of over 140,000 funds and financial products, across 40 markets.
With CITs becoming an increasingly significant part of institutional investing, this comprehensive dataset will allow asset managers to track trends, benchmark performance, and make data-driven decisions with greater confidence. By combining fund, ETF and CIT data in one seamless platform, ISS Market Intelligence is setting a new standard for transparency and efficiency in asset management.
Phil Herzog, Head of Simfund at ISS Market Intelligence commented: “The CIT market has been a blind spot for asset managers for too long. By integrating fund, ETF, and CIT flows into one unified dataset within Simfund, we are providing the tools and insights they need to navigate this US$6 trillion market with precision and clarity. This new dataset reflects ISS MI’s commitment to equipping asset managers with actionable insights to drive better outcomes for their clients.”
