Morningstar announced on June 25 that its investment research is now integrated into Microsoft 365, Copilot, and Excel, allowing financial professionals to access analyst-driven insights directly in their daily work.
By grounding AI tools in independent research rather than generic AI output, the partnership enables wealth and asset managers to make faster, more confident decisions without switching between multiple platforms.
What happened
On June 25, Morningstar announced that Microsoft is integrating Morningstar's investment research into Microsoft 365, Copilot, and Excel.
