Markit has acquired securities lending data specialist Data Explorers, from owners Bowmark Capital, a mid-market private equity firm. Terms weren’t disclosed.
PolarLake has responded to market – and regulator – demand for a real-time consolidated view of trade, position, reference and client data that can inform operational efficiency, risk management and compliance with a virtualised data warehouse solution based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and semantic technologies.
Data management specialist 1View Solutions is offering financial data managers a short cut to clean and consistent reference data that avoids the pursuit of a single golden copy. Instead it provides an outsourced service that matches internal data with reference data from vendors including Thomson Reuters, Interactive Data, SIX Telekurs and Exchange Data International (EDI).
M&G Investments first looked at establishing a new product master data solution for its 50-odd retail funds back in the summer of 2009 and, after a detailed and in-depth couple of years of background research and planning, it has finally rolled out the first phase of buy side data management specialist vendor MoneyMate’s DataManager solution. Conor Smyth, senior vice president of sales at MoneyMate, explains the details of the deal that began back in the summer of 2010, when the vendor successfully won the request for proposal (RFP) process.
Marc Berthoud, vice chairman of the Federation of European Securities Exchanges’ (FESE) Economics and Statistics Committee and deputy head of data and index products SIX Swiss Exchange, explained the details of the exchange association’s recent initiative in the market data space: the Market Model Typology (MMT), to delegates at last week’s FIMA conference in London. Berthoud indicated that the group is focused on developing standards for trade flags for trade condition reporting across all markets and OTC (see the FESE website for more here).
Earlier this week, GoldenSource indicated that longstanding client M&G Investments has upgraded its implementation of the EDM vendor’s platform (see the release here). Steve Engdahl, senior vice president of product strategy at the vendor, explains how the upgrade fitted into M&G’s Solvency II compliance preparations.
