HONG KONG, Feb. 15, 2016 (Antara/PRNewswire) -- S&P Capital IQ and SNL announce that, effective immediately, the new combined entity is rebranding as S&P Global Market Intelligence. The division's new name is a strategic move forward as part of the integration of the two previously separate businesses, S&P Capital IQ and SNL Financial.
