News data for investment research
Your edge comes from knowing something the market hasn’t yet priced.
That knowledge often lies in a regional business report, a regulatory notice, or a local-language story that won’t reach the wire for hours.
Opoint delivers that news as structured data, entity-tagged to the instruments you follow, so your analysts can work from a complete picture rather than a delayed one.
The wire is downstream of the story
Most investment teams run on English-language tier-one sources: Reuters, Bloomberg, the FT. For developed-market large-caps, that’s adequate. Anything with emerging-market exposure, regional corporate developments, or specialist-sector risk leaves a structural gap. By the time a story about a Latin American restructuring or an Eastern European regulatory action reaches the wire, it has often been public in the local business press for hours, sometimes days. Your analysts aren’t working with slow data. They’re working with downstream data.
Opoint covers 250,000 sources across 135 languages and 230 jurisdictions, including the regional and non-English business press where material developments surface first. For a fund with emerging-market or specialist-sector exposure, that reach is the difference between a complete view and a structurally incomplete one. Most of what Opoint captures never reaches a tier-one terminal, or reaches it late.
Entity-linked to your coverage universe
Every article arrives tagged with LEI, FIGI, and PermID identifiers, so news maps straight to the names on your watchlist. Your analysts spend their time on analysis, not on matching stories to tickers. Filter by instrument, sector, or IPTC topic without depending on brittle keyword alerts.
A signal, not a stream
Raw news at scale is noise. Opoint delivers it deduplicated, classified, and structured, so one event arrives as one signal rather than forty alerts from forty outlets. An analyst receiving 500 alerts a day doesn’t have better intelligence than one receiving five. They have more noise to manage.

To see what that means in practice, consider a real example.
When two water-overflow incidents hit Vale’s iron-ore operations in Brazil, the story ran in Portuguese more than 12 hours before the first English-language wire carried it. Vale’s share price fell 2.3% in São Paulo that day. For a fund with exposure to Vale, those 12 hours were the first-mover window, the difference between acting on the information and reacting to it once everyone else had it.
Vale is one of six events in our guide Where Stories Break First, each with verified timestamps showing how long the news stayed invisible in English. Read the guide →
Coverage, speed, structure, then routing
A working setup has four parts: coverage that reaches where your exposure lives, delivery fast enough to act on, enrichment that routes signals without manual triage, and the routing logic that decides what happens when a signal arrives.
Opoint provides the first three as structured data via a flexible JSON API. You don’t need to build the sophisticated version on day one. Start with coverage and speed, add structure and routing as the workflow matures. Opoint is the data layer; it feeds the research and analysis systems your team already runs.

Your Questions, Answered
Can I customise the feed to my investment focus?
Yes. Feeds are tailored to your sectors, regions, and instruments, whether that's global equities, commodities, credit, or emerging markets, so you receive the news relevant to your portfolio rather than an undifferentiated stream.
Does Opoint integrate with our existing research systems?
Yes. Opoint delivers structured data via a flexible JSON API, including LEI, FIGI, and PermID identifiers, so it feeds the research platforms and analytical workflows your team already runs. Most integrations go live within two weeks.
How is this different from a news terminal?
A terminal is built for reading. Opoint is built for processing. It delivers machine-readable, entity-tagged news data that feeds your systems directly, covering the regional and non-English sources terminals underweight, and delivering it in under 7 minutes.
