Currently privately held, SymphonyIRI Holdings, Inc. serves as a holding company for the equity interests of SymphonyIRI shareholders.

With its vast client base, Symphony enhances SymphonyIRI's collective powers of investment, industry expertise, research and development, global operations, and technology to address its clients' needs.
