Reuters is organized around four key customer segments: Asset Management serves professionals engaged in managing collective funds, such as pension, mutual or insurance, and wealth management for high net worth individuals. Reuters has a strong client base and international presence from which to grow and will provide new packaged offers and integration services including recently acquired Bridge assets and content from Lipper. Investment Banking and Brokerage is a growth business for Reuters. It serves investment banks, brokerages, venture capital concerns and similar businesses.

This segment is organized similarly to its clients covering the key areas of equities and fixed income trading, research and advisory.

Innovations have continued and today Reuters provides information, liquidity, transaction, solutions and delivery capabilities.
