GICS

GICS classifies listed companies into 11 sectors, 25 industry groups, 74 industries, and 163 sub-industries. It is important for market research, peer comparison, sector allocation, and investment analysis.

Why GICS-based monitoring matters

Investors, wealth platforms, and analytics products often organize companies, portfolios, ETFs, and screens using GICS sectors and sub-industries. When your application already thinks in GICS, it makes sense to retrieve news in the same classification language.

What Problem Does It Solve?

Sector news is often noisy when teams rely only on broad keywords such as energy, software, or banks. GICS gives a standardized way to narrow the monitoring universe. That improves portfolio alerting, sector dashboards, thematic research, and AI workflows that need classification-aware context.

Who Is It For?

Equity researchers, asset managers, and quant teams monitoring sectors and sub-industries.

Developers building trading apps, market dashboards, screeners, and portfolio analytics products.

ETF, index, and wealth-tech teams surfacing sector-specific updates to users.

Writers producing market commentary, sector newsletters, and investment research.

Key Benefits

Retrieve news by GICS sector, industry group, industry, or sub-industry.

Combine GICS retrieval with boolean search to focus on earnings, regulation, M&A, supply chain, or product themes.

Use headlines for monitoring, briefs for investor updates, and full text for deeper research.

Filter by language and geography to support global investing workflows.

Deliver the same capability through API, MCP, and the web app.

Use Cases

Portfolio apps that trigger automatic sector-level news updates for holdings and watchlists.

Equity research workflows that compare narratives across related industries.

Thematic and factor investing tools that need sector-aware news signals.

AI agents that summarize what is moving a portfolio sector this week.

How It Works

Select the GICS code that matches the sector or sub-industry you want to monitor.

Query headlines, briefs, or full text and add boolean operators for extra precision.

Filter by language or country, then feed the results into apps, alerts, models, or AI agents.

AI and MCP Workflows

Use MCP to let AI agents gather GICS-coded news before writing sector recaps or portfolio commentary.

Combine GICS retrieval with company identifiers and market data inside richer investment workflows.

Automate sector intelligence for portfolio monitoring, advisory tools, and research teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who uses GICS in practice? Asset managers, analysts, market data vendors, ETF teams, and wealth platforms use it widely for sector organization.

Can I monitor a narrow sub-industry rather than a whole sector? Yes. That is one of the main advantages of classification-based retrieval.

Can AI agents analyze my portfolio sector news? Yes. MCP access makes that workflow straightforward.

Getting Started

Start with the GICS sectors and sub-industries that matter to your portfolio, product, or research workflow. Then choose headlines, briefs, or full text depending on the depth you need. API, MCP, and web app access are included. Each headline costs 1 credit, each brief costs 2 credits, and each full text result costs 5 credits. The annual plan is more persuasive for active users because you pay for only 10 months and receive 12 months of access, which means 2 months free.
