Stop reinventing the wheel
RIXML standards let you focus on the content
The RIXML standards are used across the industry, standardizing the way investment research and interactions are described, so firms don't need to create and maintain separate systems and procedures for each distribution channel.
Simplified publication
Sellside firms and other investment content producers can use the same tagging system across all content distribution networks - their own websites, content aggregators, and direct feeds to clients.
Simplified aggregation
Content aggregators can develop systems based on the RIXML format, knowing that all incoming investment research content will be tagged using this industry-standard language.
Simplified discovery
Since research content flows through the aggregation and search process with the descriptive RIXML tagging the publisher has added, investment professionals can be confident that they can find the research they need.
For all parts of the investment research lifecycle
The way a firm uses the RIXML standards depends on what parts of the investment research lifecycle they are involved in. Regardless, the RIXML standards provide benefits for all parts of the investment research lifecycle.
