Market & Reference Data

Market and reference data are essential assets to the business operations of financial and energy trading firms. It represents many data categories, including real-time prices and news, valuations, indices, credit ratings, ESG ratings, fundamentals, earnings estimates, corporate actions, as well as weather forecasts, freight data, etc.
This domain is difficult to manage due to the complexities associated to its legal frameworks as well as the dynamics around the user community and its data usage. Yet, market and reference data are typically one of the top 3 expense areas within user firms.
