LSEG and Microsoft are powering the deployment of agentic AI for financial services professionals with data that is trusted and licensed by LSEG.
As part of LSEG’s partnership with Microsoft to equip the industry with the right tools, solutions and insights to face challenges in the financial markets, LSEG customers can now build AI agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio with LSEG licensed data and deploy them in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
LSEG’s datasets stretch back over decades and total more than 33 petabytes. With easy access to these through Copilot Studio, users can stay within their everyday workflows, such as Microsoft Excel or Teams, to compose sophisticated AI agents, combining policies, prompts, tools and actions.
A new model context protocol (MCP) server enables the transfer of datasets in a standardised environment so professionals can avoid the expensive and time-consuming task of checking multiple platforms for their customers. LSEG data will be accessible through MCP in a phased rollout, starting with LSEG Financial Analytics.
“Our continued partnership with LSEG underscores a shared commitment to redefining the future of financial services through secure, AI-driven innovation,” said Nick Parker, chief business officer and president of worldwide sales and solutions at Microsoft. “By combining LSEG’s trusted market data with Microsoft’s cloud and AI capabilities, we’re empowering customers to unlock deeper insights, accelerate decision-making and streamline complex workflows.”
