An Introduction
What is Market Data?
For over 40 years, financial services firms have been inextricably linked with data providers. Data informs decision-making across every industry segment. From pricing bonds, to modelling portfolio returns, to understanding the environmental credentials of a potential investment, the applications are broad.
This extensive landscape of data has led to a rapid increase in the number of vendors wanting to sell a fit-for-purpose dataset for the relevant business use case.
As digital processes in financial institutions have matured, the availability and diversity of data has matured alongside. The range and quantity of content has increased significantly, and service levels are being tuned for a variety of use cases from ultra-low latency market data for algorithmic trading to end of day pricing data for portfolio valuation.
Vendors handle billions of queries every day, churning through petabytes of data, and the largest financial services organisations work with hundreds of vendors to obtain the most suitable datasets. With an ever-growing list of vendors, it is no surprise that acquiring, organising, and maintaining a firm’s data estate is becoming more difficult and costly.

Unlocking Capability
The Future of Data
The key to unlocking capability must be through broader industry collaboration. Co-ordinating this effort requires a neutral third party that can bring all relevant parties to the table. This includes not just the vendors and consumers, but also technology and platform providers, consultants, and firms that supply intelligence in market data management.
