What Is Bloomberg?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg, officially called Bloomberg L.P. (limited partnership), is a multi-faceted media, data, software, and finance company based in New York City. Founded in 1981<\/a> by Michael Bloomberg, Thomas Secunda, Duncan MacMillan, and Charles Zegar \u2014 with a heavy investment from Bank of America<\/a> through their subsidiary Merrill Lynch \u2014 Bloomberg has since grown to employ more than 21,000<\/a> workers across 159 global offices in 69 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main product created and sold by Bloomberg is a software platform called Bloomberg Terminal. This platform allows finance professionals to analyze real-time market data, execute trades and sales, get relevant news updates, and communicate with coworkers. Terminal is one of the most widely used tools for investors and bankers to see the markets as they change and act on those changes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Terminal, Bloomberg has a variety of products and services in the media space. Bloomberg News, for example, is a news agency owned by Bloomberg L.P and Bloomberg TV is a 24\/7 broadcast news network. Altogether, the company offers over 15 products and services, ranging from a radio station to a service for up-to-date legal research and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
