QUICK Corp

QUICK Corp. is a Japanese financial-information company in the Nikkei Group. The company says that it distributes real-time securities and financial information from global markets, together with political and economic information, and provides systems and other services for financial-market participants^[2]. Nikkei separately lists QUICK among the data-services companies in its corporate group^[3].

QUICK's public catalogue includes professional workstations, financial benchmarks, environmental, social and governance services, and datasets offered through QUICK Data Factory^[1][4]. Its scope therefore extends beyond conventional market-data terminals to structured information concerning Japanese equities and corporate disclosures^[1].

What It Does

QUICK describes its business as the distribution of financial and securities information and the provision of supporting services for asset management, order routing and execution^[2]. It also builds and maintains information networks for financial markets^[2]. These activities place the company in the financial-data infrastructure sector rather than in investment management or brokerage.

The company maintains offerings for domestic financial institutions, international financial institutions and financial advisers^[1]. The consulted pages do not publish customer counts, contract values or a comprehensive client list, so the scale of adoption for individual products cannot be independently established from these sources.

Products

The terminal range named on QUICK's English website comprises QUICK Workstation for domestic financial institutions, QUICK FactSet Workstation for international financial institutions and QUICK LevelX r1 for financial advisers^[1]. The same catalogue identifies the Tokyo Term Risk Free Rate, or TORF, and TONA Averages and the TONA Index as benchmark services^[1]. QUICK's company outline says that its subsidiary QUICK Benchmarks calculates and publishes financial indices and manages their licensing^[2].

QUICK Data Factory presents datasets on criteria for inclusion in or exclusion from TOPIX, analyst ratings and target prices, and shareholder-meeting resolutions drawn from Japan's EDINET disclosure system^[1][4]. The official site also lists ESG services, but the pages consulted do not establish a common methodology, update frequency or historical depth across all of these products^[1].

Delivery and Pricing

QUICK markets both workstation-based services and data products^[1]. The reviewed English pages do not state standard subscription prices, licensing terms, delivery formats for every Data Factory dataset or whether trial access is available. Those details therefore require direct confirmation from the provider rather than inference from the public catalogue.

Buyers and Use Cases

The product labels and company description identify financial institutions, financial advisers and organizations performing asset-management or trading-support functions as intended users^[1][2]. Potential uses supported by the catalogue include monitoring securities markets, obtaining political and economic information, supporting order workflows, following benchmark rates and analysing equity or disclosure datasets^[1][2][4]. The sources do not verify particular investment outcomes attributable to these services.

History and Organization

QUICK was established on 1 October 1971^[2]. Its official company outline, dated 1 April 2026, identifies Tokyo as the location of its head office and also lists offices in Osaka and Nagoya and a London branch^[2]. The same page names Nikkei Inc. and several Japanese financial and industrial companies among its shareholders^[2].

Nikkei's own group directory categorizes QUICK as a data-services company^[3]. QUICK's listed group companies perform functions including market-news provision, financial technology, index administration and information-technology services^[2]. This organizational context is independently consistent with QUICK's description as part of the Nikkei Group, although the consulted sources do not provide a detailed ownership percentage for each shareholder^[2][3].
