OptionMetrics 是面向全球机构投资者和学术研究人员的期权数据与分析提供商；总部位于波士顿的成长型股权公司 Equality Asset Management (EAM) 已宣布与其建立合作关系，旨在加速 OptionMetrics 的产品开发和市场扩张。交易条款未予披露。
“EAM understands our business and shares our conviction about where it can go. With EAM alongside us, we will keep building on the high-quality data and analytics products our clients rely on,” said David J. Hait, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of OptionMetrics.
EAM invests in founder-led software and technology companies that hold category-leading positions in their markets. 该公司表示，这项投资将为 OptionMetrics 提供更多资源，以触达新的客户群体、持续深化全球市场覆盖，并更快推出新能力。
“EAM team has a strong track record of helping companies innovate and enter new markets. We are grateful to Leeds Equity Partners for their partnership over the past five years, which helped us broaden our product offerings,” Hait said. “With EAM alongside us, we will keep building on the high-quality data and analytics products our clients rely on.”
Hait will continue to lead OptionMetrics as chief executive officer.
Founded in 1999, OptionMetrics 将自己定位为历史期权数据的黄金标准。全球范围内的投资组合经理、交易员、量化研究人员、机构投资者、对冲基金经理和学术界人士都依赖其 IvyDB databases and analytics 来构建和测试投资策略、开展实证研究以及评估风险。近年来，公司通过 Woodseer Global Dividend Forecast Data 和面向散户投资者的 OptionStrat 扩展了产品组合。
EAM 的 managing partner Jeff Del Papa 表示：“We are extremely happy to partner with David and the OptionMetrics team. David’s vision for OptionMetrics’ proprietary, high-value data assets and solutions was brilliant from the start. The value that OptionMetrics delivers to its customers stands out in the world of FinTech, and we are thrilled to be working with the company as it continues to innovate and expand its capabilities.”
随着期权交易量上升以及风险评估和策略开发方法日益复杂，市场对期权数据的需求持续增长。OptionMetrics 计划在其产品上投入创新，包括其 international IvyDB options data、dividend intelligence suite 和 OptionStrat。
EAM 的 principal John Batter 表示：“OptionMetrics has built a strong, well-deserved reputation as the gold standard in options pricing, volatility and derived analytics data, becoming deeply embedded in client workflows. We have great respect for what David and his team have accomplished to date and look forward to continuing to build out the suite of data and analytics products and further differentiate OptionMetrics’ market-leading position.”
