LSEG Microsoft Unveil Next Stage of Partnership

LSEG and Microsoft have unveiled the next step in their multi-year, strategic partnership, inevitably, perhaps involving AI, with news that agentic AI can be built in Microsoft’s Copilot (MCP) Studio, using data from LSEG through an LSEG-managed server. 
By connecting LSEG’s content with AI capabilities, the firms say financial services professionals can benefit from intelligent tools that enhance decision-making and productivity and lower barriers to innovation – empowering organisations to use AI responsibly and securely.
The announcement builds on LSEG’s AI strategy – LSEG Everywhere – which the firm says is delivering licensed data to scale AI in financial services. It notes it has datasets stretching back over decades and totalling more than 33 petabytes, therefore, generating insights from these datasets enables Microsoft 365 Copilot users to make confident decisions faster.
Using the new MCP server, LSEG customers will be able to connect with data, licensed through LSEG products, to build AI agents in Copilot Studio, a low-code platform for users to create, customise and deploy AI agents that can be integrated directly into workflows.
Users will be able to access the financial data and analytics within their everyday workflows to compose AI agents, combining policies, prompts, tools and actions. “This integration unifies human expertise and large language model (LLM) reasoning with LSEG’s unmatched financial data, content and analytics in a secure, governed, low-code environment,” the firm claims.
LSEG and Microsoft says they are currently working with customers to build their first agents in Copilot Studio powered by LSEG data. They add that the use of a unified server enables the transfer of datasets in a standardised environment, reducing expensive and time-intensive integration of multiple technologies, thus simplifying and accelerating the delivery of AI-enabled tools and applications. LSEG data will be accessible through MCP in a phased rollout, starting with LSEG Financial Analytics.
