In sync with its disciplined acquisition strategy, Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (NYSE:JLL) has inked a deal to acquire global corporate occupiers benchmarking (Global Occupiers) business of MSCI, the provider of investment decision supporting tools worldwide. This latest acquisition is likely to enhance JLL’s Corporate Solutions service range and add to its technology and data analytics capabilities.

MSCI’s Global Occupiers business is a leading provider of performance analytics of commercial buildings and holds the largest independent database of occupier performance spread over 48 countries. This is an excellent addition to JLL‘s Corporate Solutions business.

Currently, JLL carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
