WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Informa Investment Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Informa Financial, Inc., has completed the integration of the M-Watch and Performer performance measurement and client reporting systems. As a result of the integration, Performer now includes the M-Watch performance reports and system functionality, as well as a comparative universe construction methodology that utilizes returns-based style analysis.

Current M-Watch clients have begun the process of migrating over to Performer.
