Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC), a leading provider of
financial market data, analytics, and related solutions, today
announced that its Pricing and Reference Data business has
broadened its award-winning* evaluated pricing offerings for
clients.
Recent enhancements to the evaluated pricing coverage
include:
- New evaluations coverage:
for more than 10,000 fixed income instruments in the past month,
including newly-issued securities and securities frequently
requested by clients. Beginning in May, Interactive Data began
providing clients with bi-monthly notifications about fixed income
evaluation coverage additions. Recent additions include more than
6,300 additional structured securities and more than 3,600
corporate securities.
- Fair Value Information
Service (FVIS): collaboration with Russell Investments to
introduce Fair Value Adjusted Index Information designed to help
improve international equity mutual funds performance measurement
capabilities. FVIS coverage also now includes evaluations for
certain U.S. and Canadian equities on days when their respective
markets are closed due to holidays. Interactive Data also increased
FVIS coverage of global equities by nearly 1,200 securities since
the beginning of 2010.
- Daily evaluations for
Fixed-Rate Reverse Mortgage-Backed Securities (HMBS): These are
securities issued under the Government National Mortgage
Association (GNMA) Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program.
This program is designed to provide liquidity to reverse mortgage
lenders. Interactive Data also offers evaluated pricing for other
fixed and adjustable rate MBS.
Interactive Data also now provides new complementary offerings
in addition to its existing services, including:
- Evaluated Pricing Challenge
Portal: to help clients enhance their workflow. Clients can
submit evaluation challenges online, monitor the status of
challenges, create reports, and take advantage of new tools and
utilities.
- Monthly Market Commentary
for structured securities. In addition to daily fixed income
Mid-Day Market Commentary, Interactive Data now offers a Monthly
Market Commentary for structured securities, which includes market
highlights, representative market color, month-over-month trends,
and other market observations.
- Daily Tolerance Reports:
now available for U.S. Municipal securities and International
Corporate and Sovereign securities. These reports identify
securities whose percentage change in evaluation from the previous
day is equal to or greater than a predetermined tolerance level.
They can assist mutual fund clients in their daily review of
evaluations. A Daily Tolerance Report was already available for
U.S. corporate bonds and convertible bonds.
“Our Evaluated Services team continually works with our clients
to understand their evolving needs and, as a result, we are able to
respond with new and expanded coverage and services for a wide
range of securities,” said Liz Duggan, managing director,
Evaluations, Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data. “We are
also committed to providing clients with increased transparency
into our evaluations process as well as additional insight related
to the asset classes for which we produce evaluated prices.”
Interactive Data delivers daily evaluations for more than 2.8
million fixed income and international equity issues, covering a
broad range of instruments and representing approximately 100
countries and 30 different currencies. These include global
asset-backed securities (ABS), mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and
