The stock exchange group is giving students at the Singapore-based business school access to the kind of real-time data and information used by bankers, wealth managers and other financial sector professionals.

London Stock Exchange Group, which owns Refinitiv, the financial data firm, is working with the National University of Singapore Business School through its Workspace platform. 

Under the agreement, students and academic staff can use LSEG’s real-time financial market data, reports, economic indicators, and accounting data of publicly traded companies. They will also be able to examine historical data dating back to the 1960s, economic and ratio indicators, industry statistics, equity data, interest rates, and exchange rates. 

The platform provides extensive coverage of real-time news spanning all asset classes, industries, and geographies.

“Our collaboration with LSEG provides students and faculty with a wealth of financial and economic data to advance their learning and research,” Dr Ben Charoenwong, assistant professor of finance and the chair of the financial database committee at NUS Business School, said.

The Workspace platform already collaborates with academic institutions across Asia-Pacific including the Nanyang Technological University, University of Melbourne, and Griffith University, among others.
