Partnering to support the banking community
LSEG’s data, news and analytics partnership with Dow Jones was announced in July 2024 and will usher in a multi-year collaboration that introduces a data-first approach designed to optimise the global deal-making space and enrich the news experience for users. Set to launch in early 2025, LSEG and Dow Jones are co-developing an enhanced news experience within Workspace, curated by Dow Jones senior editors to showcase the top news from across the full range of Dow Jones news brands, individually tailored to meet the needs of the Workspace audience.
In terms of the partnership, the Wall Street Journal, will complement its coverage of global deals with LSEG’s deals intelligence and league tables, which are widely accepted as the gold standard within the market.
In addition, LSEG’s Workspace platform will be enhanced with integrated news and commentary from all Dow Jones news services. The full suite of Dow Jones brands forming part of this partnership includes The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Dow Jones Newswires, WSJ Pro, WSJ Opinion, Investor’s Business Daily, Private Equity News, Financial News and MarketWatch. Dow Jones news brands are renowned for their depth, quality, and breadth of coverage – with particular focus on business and finance. Alongside exclusive access to Reuters news, you now have access to a unique combination of the world's most reputable and unbiased news.
The net result of this powerful collaboration is a rich ecosystem that delivers optimised deals intelligence, an enhanced news experience, advanced insights and detailed commentary to support the banking community.
Dynamic data, intelligence and analytics
Our partnership combines the core strengths of two global leaders to deliver the right data and tools bankers need to achieve more in a highly dynamic environment, where making informed decisions at pace is essential.
Understanding global markets means interpreting a vast set of evolving criteria. This is a dynamic space that demands dynamic data, unique intelligence and deep analytics.

LSEG’s deals data and analytics will be displayed on WSJ.com, WSJ print and Barron’s, and disseminated to deal makers and C-suites across the banking and private equity sectors.
The Dow Jones newsrooms will also adopt Workspace and SDC Platinum as a reliable and trusted source for deals analytics. Moreover, Workspace and SDC Platinum users will see their experience enriched with relevant, select Factiva news stories added to deals views and tear sheets.
This adds value for the banking community by creating a richer, frictionless and more complete workflow. Bankers are now offered best-in-class deals intelligence, augmented by a holistic, trusted news offering with data embedded into our news coverage. This combination empowers banking professionals to unlock actionable insights and trusted advice that inform better decisions in a dynamic environment.
Unpacking the key benefits
Our collaboration offers other key benefits. In terms of crucial deals intelligence, our partnership has taken our powerful, end-to-end deals offering to a new level, delivering accurate, trusted data and insights, backed by LSEG’s 50-year history of supporting the banking community.
The partnership will ensure that we continue to provide the data, news and thought leadership that empower deal makers to take their businesses and their customers’ businesses to the next level.
We’re thrilled to collaborate with LSEG to enrich the global banking workflow on our consumer titles. Our partnership combines unmatched expertise in news and analytics to bring a new level of insight and actionable intelligence to bankers worldwide.

Our deals league tables, covering all asset classes and backed by more than 30 years of expertise in managing league table quality and criteria, will now be the barometer of global corporate finance activity – as they are published within the pages of the Wall Street Journal as of October 2, 2024 and soon on WSJ.com. Corporate finance professionals, financiers and corporates will now track not only levels of activity, but also fee generation, pricing of mandates and deal insights as a result of this new partnership and LSEG’s investment into Workspace and SDC Platinum.
On the news front, the addition of Dow Jones complete suite of publications to Workspace means that users can now benefit from a richer choice of content, unrivalled insights and a best-in-class experience. This essential news ecosystem helps build a holistic picture of markets – beyond the obvious.
Bankers can now tap into a vast pool of global expertise, and access a wealth of data, news and actionable insights – all available at their fingertips – in our newsroom of the future.

The addition of Dow Jones’s proven strengths, notably in the US financial markets, unlocks immediate value for our Workspace communities. By bringing together our powerful combination of expertise, talent and pedigree supported by a deep understanding of evolving market dynamics, this latest collaboration will ensure that the global banking community can tap into the data and tools they need to execute on their mandates and provide their customers with the best advice possible.
As this new combination starts playing its role in the daily workflow of our users, we are fully aware of the responsibility we collectively have to ensure markets are offered top quality content, powerful frictionless functionality and deep differentiating insights from LSEG.
