FactSet expands credit facility 50% to $1.5B, extends maturity to 2031

FactSet Research Systems has expanded its revolving credit facility by 50% to $1.5 billion and extended debt maturities. The amendment, dated 28 August 2026, extends the revolving facility's maturity to August 2031 and pushes the $375 million term loan maturity to August 2029. The company eliminated scheduled amortisation payments on the term loan and removed a 0.10% credit spread adjustment, reducing borrowing costs. These changes provide FactSet with increased liquidity and financial flexibility for potential acquisitions, share repurchases, or other corporate initiatives. The transaction was executed with a syndicate of lenders led by PNC Bank, including Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and HSBC.

Quant Insight integrates macro risk model into FactSet's portfolio analytics platform

Quant Insight has integrated its Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM) into FactSet's Portfolio Analytics platform, making macro risk analytics accessible to FactSet's global client base. The integration embeds daily macro risk measurement directly into existing investment workflows. MFERM covers over 16,000 instruments globally, including equities, ETFs, and indices across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with daily updates. The model measures portfolio exposure to seven macro factors: growth, rates, credit, inflation, foreign exchange, commodities, and risk aversion. The tool calculates a Macro Share of Risk metric, showing how much of a portfolio's forecast risk stems from macroeconomic factors versus company-specific elements. It complements traditional style-factor models rather than replacing them. FactSet clients can now access MFERM within their existing platform environment. The integration aims to bridge bottom-up portfolio construction with macro forces affecting investment outcomes.
