CGS will function as a part of FactSet Content and Technology Solutions (CTS). The acquisition, on a pro forma basis, will increase CTS's Annual Subscription Value (ASV) to more than $425 million. CGS's experienced and trusted team will report to Jonathan Reeve, Executive Vice President and Head of CTS, FactSet.
