Our take

Data is a vital resource for businesses – with the ability to fuel smarter decision making – but it can be difficult for them to manage the swathes of data generated by their operations. Rimes provides a managed data services and investment intelligence platform, to enable clients to make the most out of their data and use it to inform investment decisions.

Rimes is a leader in transformative data management and investment intelligence solutions. It supplies data across multiple domains, including ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and climate data, which are more and more frequently being used as factors in investment decisions. Following the acquisition of Matrix IDM, the company added a cloud-native investment intelligence platform to its portfolio, completing its toolkit of connected solutions.

Rimes has continuously worked to remain at the forefront of data management. It serves more that 400 institutions, including some of the world’s leading asset managers and institutional investors. Since a buyout by investment firm Five Arrows, it is in an even stronger position to expand its market.
