Commentary
Financial institutions are under more pressure than ever to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and closely monitor business risk. In the specific area of market data, firms need to access data first hand, and with minimal latency, so that their investment decisions are based on intelligent information and executed at the desired price. Market fragmentation requires that data is fetched from many trading venues which charge substantial fees for data access. A top agenda item for financial institutions is therefore to find the right information, at the right price and with the right tools to help them select the data sources that they really need.
