Our CapitalCube content delivery to Refinitiv is expanding, Marketwall had a strong quarter with plans to become an online financial broker, we raised $1.6 million and we continue to develop our technical capabilities across all of our business divisions.”
CapitalCube
AnalytixInsight is an established AI-driven content supplier to Refinitiv with ability to provide content on small & mid-cap companies worldwide through its CapitalCube platform, which provides machine-created content with ability to scale. CapitalCube began publishing pre-revenue research reports to Refinitiv’s Eikon users in November 2018. On June 17, 2019, the Company expanded the scope of the pre-revenue analysis reports to now include companies located in Italy, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan in response to the increasing Refinitiv client usage of the North American reports currently in production.
During the quarter, the Company also expanded the scope of its Refinitiv agreement to begin providing dividend analysis coverage on approximately 3,000 dividend-paying companies in Canada, US and the UK. The CapitalCube dividend analysis report provides powerful insights, analysis and scoring regarding a company’s dividend quality, yield, coverage, flexibility, payment history, peer comparisons and sustainability.
AnalytixInsight is pleased to be an AI-driven content provider to Refinitiv and believes that its ability to create scalable financial content on worldwide companies is being recognized with increasing importance as global industry leaders embrace analytics within the financial industry. On August 1, 2019, London Stock Exchange agreed to buy Refinitiv in a US$27 billion transaction to create a global financial markets infrastructure provider with leading data and analytics to Refinitiv’s 40,000 institutions in over 190 countries.
During the quarter the Company completed a new graphical user interface for CapitalCube which contains several updated improvements and ease-of-use features.

The performance results of the Company’s Robo-Advisor are displayed on the CapitalCube website home page.
