Refinitiv is a leading global provider of financial market data, analytics, trading, and risk assessment infrastructure. It originated in 2018 when Thomson Reuters sold its Financial & Risk unit to Blackstone, forming Refinitiv as an independent company. In 2019, Refinitiv was acquired by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), becoming a core part of LSEG's data and analytics division[1][2][3]. Refinitiv specializes in delivering comprehensive financial data and technology solutions that empower institutions across various sectors, including investment management, wealth management, regulatory compliance, enterprise risk, and financial crime prevention. Its flagship product, Eikon, is a widely used trading and market data platform available on desktop and mobile, providing real-time insights and analytics to users globally. Refinitiv also operates the largest foreign exchange (FX) trading platform, handling over $400 billion in daily FX transactions with more than 1,700 institutional clients, alongside bond trading and central bank auctions[2]. The company employs around 18,500 people and operates in 73 locations worldwide, with its headquarters in London. David W. Craig, formerly a McKinsey partner, serves as CEO, leading Refinitiv’s integration within LSEG and the expansion of its market data services[1][2]. Key achievements include launching innovative financial benchmarks such as the Refinitiv Term SONIA rate, introduced in early 2021, which supports transparent and reliable interest rate benchmarks in global markets[2]. Since becoming part of LSEG, Refinitiv's data and analytics capabilities have been integrated into the broader group’s offerings, enhancing the combined entity’s role as a trusted financial infrastructure and data provider with over three centuries of market heritage through LSEG[3][4]. Notably, Refinitiv was previously known as Reuters Limited since its incorporation in 1916 before rebranding in 2019 following the Thomson Reuters divestiture. It remains an active private limited company registered in London
