Wind Information Co., Ltd

Wind Information Co., Ltd. is a Shanghai-based data vendor that has concentrated on one thing since 1994: giving institutional investors a single, battle-tested gateway to every figure that moves Chinese and world markets. Its sole public Windows client, Wind Financial Terminal, consolidates real-time and historical quotes for stocks, bonds, futures, options, commodities, FX, funds and indices; streams macroeconomic releases, company filings, broker forecasts and news in both English and Chinese; and embeds a Python-compatible quant research workspace, charting suite, Excel add-in and screening wizard so analysts can move from idea to back-test without leaving the pane. Portfolio managers use it to monitor risk exposure across onshore and offshore assets, traders rely on its depth-of-market ladders and basket-order tickets to execute cross-market arbitrage, while bankers plug its league-table and PE/VC modules into pitch-books. The same dataset feeds the terminal’s ESG dashboard, supply-chain mapping and carbon-tracking tools, letting research teams splice sustainability metrics with traditional valuation models. Academic and regulatory subscribers value the long-dated, point-in-time series that survive back-adjustments, making the platform a common citation in China-focused white papers and policy briefs. Wind Financial Terminal is offered for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always deploying the newest build and permitting several applications to be installed in a single batch operation.
