About SDC Platinum

Provides detailed information on new issues, mergers and acquisitions and private equity for the global financial marketplace. Some of the datasets in SDC go back to the 1970s, but coverage varies. There is usually comprehensive data for at least the past ten to fifteen years. 

We subscribe to:

• Mergers & Acquisitions - US Targets, Non-US Targets, Joint Ventures/Alliances
• Global New Issues- All Equity, All Bonds
• Venture Xpert- Official Database of the National Venture Capital Association
