What is the difference between Capital IQ and S&P Capital IQ Pro?
Answer
Capital IQ and S&P Captial IQ Pro are two different platforms despite their similar names. Here’s how they differ.
Capital IQ is a widely used platform that provides data on public and private companies, investment firms, transactions, and key individuals. Yale users must register for an account with their Yale email address, and registration requires being on the Yale network (Yale Secure Wi‑Fi, a wired campus connection, or VPN when off‑campus).Through a Capital IQ account, Yale students, faculty, and staff also have access to S&P Ratings Direct.
S&P Capital IQ Pro (formerly S&P Global Market Intelligence / SNL Financial) offers industry‑specific data, news, and analytics across sectors such as banking, energy & utilities, healthcare, insurance, metals & mining, real estate, and technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT). To access specialized industry content, users should update their profile within the platform.
If you already have a Capital IQ account, you can open S&P Capital IQ Pro directly using the S&P Capital IQ Pro link in the upper‑right corner of the Capital IQ homepage.
