The Capital Markets Laboratory (CML)

Information is at the heart of all activity in financial markets. Students must learn to use information and complex analytical tools to manage assets and add value for clients.

To meet this need, the CML is the central financial resource at UNC for the creation and distribution of financial information. The CML also provides leading-edge research for financial industry managers and scholars with real-time access to financial tools used on Wall Street today. The Reuters 3000 Xtra system is the backbone of the CML with Factset providing broad firm-level data.
