Thomson Reuters is a global provider of data, analysis and information tools. Thomson Financial Securities Data (TFSD) had been created in 1999 by the joining of The Investext Group, Securities Data Company and CDA/Spectrum. Thomson Reuters was formed when Thomson Financial merged with Reuters.
The Thomson Reuters databases on WRDS cover Datastream, Insiders Data, 13f Institutional Holdings, Lipper Hedge Fund Database (TASS), Mutual Funds Holdings, Refinitiv ESG, Worldscope, and WRDS-Reuters DealScan, which has global commercial loan data.

Thomson/Refinitiv data available to NYU through WRDS are presented through web query pages, with documentation also provided on the WRDS website. Direct login to the WRDS linux server (wrds.wharton,upenn.edu) provides SAS datasets and sequential data for these products. The datasets include Mutual Funds, Institutional (13f) holdings, Insiders data, and WRDS-Reuters DealScan. Also available on WRDS, but under a separate heading, are the I/B/E/S datasets.
