Benzinga and Salt Financial Announce Partnership to Deliver truBeta™ Dataset

DETROIT, July 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Benzinga announced today that it will be teaming up with Salt Financial, a leading data, index, and ETF provider, to deliver its truBeta™ ETF Risk Matrix and truBeta™ Equities/ETF feeds to advisors, hedge funds, and institutions.

• truBeta™ forecasts along with traditional beta estimates for easy comparisons
• More granular volatility and correlation measures using intraday returns over multiple time periods
• Comprehensive suite of ETF-specific risk, liquidity, and diversification metrics to help compare funds
• Dynamic sourcing of ETF price data using the best available from trades, quotes, or IOPVs
