”We’re delighted to work with Morningstar, as the quality of its data and proven expertise will add significant value to our FinTech Lab,” said Majid Shabir, CEO and Founder at Instinct Studios. ”When it comes to delivering fund information that investors can easily understand, the industry has so far been making small incremental changes, but we’re now looking for ways to raise the bar to a completely new level. I’m confident that by having access to Morningstar’s fund data, we’ll quickly find ways to transform the way investors’ access and consume fund information.”

Joanna McGinley, head of global alliances and redistributor solutions for Morningstar, said, “We’re committed to providing investors with the most effective data, research, and ratings, and we’re pleased to provide more investors with access to our fund data and information to help them conduct due diligence and reach their financial goals.“
