Investegate, a long-standing service providing private investors with free access to corporate news, is nearing its nine-millionth news release. Originating before the Big Bang financial reforms of the 1980s, Investegate has evolved alongside shareholder capitalism and the internet era. Serving the London Stock Exchange, it garners approximately 3.5 million monthly page impressions and offers a vast archival database from the 1990s.
The platform is crucial for screening daily company announcements, which influence trading decisions by providing regulatory news filings. Managing Director John Blowers emphasizes the importance of maintaining a “level playing field” in information access, ensuring no one can purchase earlier or exclusive access to data.
Investegate’s user base ranges between 350,000 to 400,000 monthly visitors. The service remains relevant, attracting users including sports fans interested in the financial performance of entities like Celtic Football Club. The site’s most-read articles this year feature major corporate deals such as Aviva’s acquisition of Probitas and Barratt’s offer for Redrow.
Under Blowers’ leadership, Investegate is exploring the integration of artificial intelligence to enhance its search capabilities, providing coherent links between historical data points. The service aims to remain a pivotal resource for investors amid the evolving technological landscape and intensified international competition for stock listings.
