McGregor BFA is proud to announce the launch of our new real-time data product, Fin24 Monitor, under the Fin24 brand name. Fin24 and McGregor BFA are both part of the Media24 group and have collaborated extensively over the past two years to such an extent that it now makes good business sense to operate under a single brand. Fin24 Monitor is an embodiment of the decision to release new McGregor BFA products under the Fin24 brand name to cement the affiliation.

"We are tremendously excited about the new real-time product which will cater to the real-time data requirements of a vast array of market participants. We look forward to bringing the best aspects of McGregor BFA’s data and pedigree together with the media savvy and approach of Fin24. We are confident that the market will understand why we are so enthusiastic about the product," says Fin24 and McGregor BFA CEO, Timothy Spira.

The first visible impact of the partnership is the release of the new corporate real-time product under the Fin24 brand name, Fin24 Monitor.

Fin24 Monitor streams live stock market data directly to users’ desktops, providing the ideal solution for market participants requiring the most up-to-date information at a very competitive price.

Speed and reliability:
JSE data is dynamically streamed to all components open in the system, removing any need to refresh the page to receive updated data.

Ease of use:
The logical, intuitive layout creates an extremely user-friendly experience.

Customisation:
At the heart of the system is the ability to create an unlimited number of watchlists. Users have complete control over the information fields presented in each watchlist. These unique user settings may be saved for future reference.
