On April 3, 2020, Morningstar Inc. completed its acquisition of PlanPlus Global, a financial-planning and risk-profiling software firm.

Morningstar plans to continue offering PlanPlus Global's FinaMetrica Profiler as a stand-alone, risk-profiling tool in global markets where it is offered today and it also sees opportunity to integrate this capability into its existing solutions. Morningstar intends to add PlanPlus Global's financial-planning solution, ProPlanner to its offerings in Canada alongside continued support for its users worldwide.

Morningstar is a leading provider of independent investment research in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

PlanPlus Global is an investment and financial planning software provider. It offers a validated risk profiling process, a globally scalable financial planning system, and a robust investment tracking tool.
