Factiva, also referred to as structured AVM is a business intelligence platform that includes content from 33,000 news, data and information sources from 200 countries and 32 languages. The platform contains millions of corporate profiles, as well as research tools to analyse media coverage. KYC360 provides Factiva coverage within the profile of an individual / entity.
Factiva includes flexible capabilities, features and benefits:
- Diverse content sources: The unrivalled content set includes newspapers, magazines, journals, websites, blogs, market research and multimedia formats from credible, reliable sources.
- Global perspectives: Factiva houses content in 32 languages, and research results can be filtered to limit search results to a particular language.
- Deep archive: The archive has more than two billion articles. The oldest dates from 1944, and 2,300 sources have more than 20 years of archived articles.
- Company and market data: Analyse firms and sectors with public and private company profiles, financial reports, regulatory filings and industry information.
Benefits
- all sources have been through the necessary approvals at Dow Jones
- surface within the context of the DJ profile presented back in relation to individual/entity
Considerations
- only 'convicted', 'arrested' 'charged' findings - therefore there may be either a perceived delay before an article surfaces within the DJ profile or it may not surface at all depending on Dow Jones' definition e.g. if there is an open court case and therefore no conviction as of yet.
