About Us
It started with an idea—one great idea from a 27-year-old stock analyst. Joe Mansueto thought it was unfair that people didn’t have access to the same information as financial professionals. So he hired a few people and set up shop in his apartment—to deliver investment research to everyone. We didn’t know then what the company would look like today, but we knew the commitment to our mission—to empower investor success—wouldn’t change. Now, we operate through wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries in over 30 countries. We’ve empowered investors all over the world, and we’re continuing to look for new ways to help people achieve financial security.
For over 40 years, that mission has remained the same — we believe in the democratisation of investment information, research, and data. It's at the core of everything we do.
