S&P Global has agreed to acquire fintech provider Visible Alpha and is exploring strategic opportunities for its Fincentric business.

The credit-ratings and data provider said Tuesday that it will combine Visible Alpha with S&P Capital IQ Pro, its flagship platform for market research and analysis.

Terms of the acquisition, which is expected to close this year, were not disclosed.

The New York-based company also said it is looking at strategic opportunities for Fincentric, the digital solutions provider formerly known as Markit Digital that came on board following S&P Global's merger with IHS Markit.

The moves are part of ongoing portfolio reviews to center S&P Global's focus on core areas of strategic growth, the company said.
