Morningstar, a provider of independent investment research, announced that it has acquired 10-K Wizard, a SEC EDGAR filing research and alert services provider based in Dallas, Texas.

Founded in 1999, 10-K Wizard offers full-text searching capabilities for real-time and historical SEC EDGAR filings. Available via a subscription service or custom data feed, 10-K Wizard also provides global company profiles that contain hyperlinks to annual reports and peer companies as well as stock quotes, news, and charts. The full-text search capabilities allow users to research and track corporate information by ticker symbol, company name, industry type, SIC code, financial form type, or specific industry keywords contained within the filings themselves.

"We share a common mission with Morningstar—gathering comprehensive data and information and combining it with robust technology and intuitive design to create tools that help people make better decisions," said Martin Zacarias, CEO of 10-K Wizard, in a written statement. "Both companies have a passion for research, and with its global reach and technology resources, Morningstar offers a clear strategic fit for 10-K Wizard. As a Morningstar company, we will have access to a vast array of additional data and resources that will allow us to enhance our products for all of the market segments we serve."
