LSEG launches Model-as-a-Service

and welcomes Societe Generale to its model marketplace

 

 

LSEG today launched Model-as-a-Service (MaaS), a new capability that enables
financial institutions to host, distribute and analyse models through a secure
and governed marketplace. Societe Generale has joined LSEG's model marketplace
as a provider of advanced analytical models, making a set of its flagship
datasets and analytics available to both firms' clients.

 

As part of the partnership, seven Societe Generale datasets and analytics will
be available via LSEG's model marketplace, covering Fixed Income, FX, ESG, and
Equities. Clients will be able to access Societe Generale's flagship datasets
and analytics alongside LSEG's own analytics, all through a single, integrated
experience.

 

Through LSEG's strategic partnership with Microsoft, MaaS enables portfolio
managers, risk teams and other market participants to access datasets,
analytics & models from multiple providers securely, and at scale, without
the need for additional integration.

 

For institutions, MaaS offers a secure, scalable route to commercialization;
turning proprietary analytics into scalable and value-driven solutions, whilst
reducing infrastructure, compliance, and go-to-market overhead. Powered by
Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors, MaaS also delivers models directly
into LSEG's partners' AI ecosystems, such as the availability of LSEG's MCP
connector in Microsoft Copilot Studio.

 

Aysegul Erdem, Head of Modelling Solutions, LSEG, said:

"We are excited to onboard Societe Generale as one of our partners and provide
them a trusted route to market which allows their data and analytics to be
distributed, discovered, and adopted across institutions. By combining partner
models with LSEG's trusted data and our global infrastructure, we are driving
innovation and advancing the transformation of the financial model ecosystem."

 

Philippe Dufay, Head of Data & Research Sales, Global Markets, Societe
Generale, said:

"We are truly enthusiastic to partner with LSEG. This collaboration is a
unique opportunity to bring our proprietary datasets and advanced analytics
into a powerful platform, creating even greater value for our shared clients."

 

Bill Borden, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Financial Services,
Microsoft, said:

"LSEG's Model‑as‑a‑Service offering is an important step forward in
helping financial institutions harness the power of advanced analytics and AI.
Through Microsoft's strategic partnership with LSEG, we're giving financial
institutions a streamlined path to better insights and accelerating innovation
across the industry."
