Oh it would. It would require the MFC site itself to actually collect and collate data on site’s parent company investment portfolios and that’s a pretty massive ask from what sounds like a very tiny team.

It might be able to? Ground has a browser extension that likely indicates they have some kind of external API access, it probably could be integrated with a little bit of effort.
