Each year Market Metrics conducts more than 25,000 in-depth surveys of financial advisors, brokers, research analysts, wholesalers, and gatekeepers.  Leveraging this proprietary body of data, we help senior managers to better understand their competitive strengths and weaknesses, and how they can improve their relationships with customers and increase market share.

Our clients work with Market Metrics because we provide both high-quality data on their business and a proven ability to help them analyze, internalize and discuss the real, strategic implications of that data. 

This unique combination has resulted in a business built on helping clients make informed decisions year after year that will improve their performance. 

With relationships that include nearly every top asset management firm and insurance company in the United States who distribute through financial advisors, over 15 consecutive years of revenue growth, and extremely high client retention, Market Metrics has become a trusted partner in the financial services industry.

In June 2010, Market Metrics was acquired by FactSet Research Systems, a firm that combines integrated financial information, analytical applications, and client service to enhance the workflow and productivity of the global investment community.  In addition to broadening the content and services FactSet and Market Metrics can offer common clients, the acquisition created an opportunity for Market Metrics to expand its product line and break into new markets.    Post-acquisition our revenue has increased by over 35% and in early 2011 we launched our first study outside the United States.
