Traders, Banks and Funds Gain Secure, Direct Access to Near
Real-Time Database Spanning Decades
BOSTON, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Informa
Global Markets (IGM) has launched its syndicated corporate bond
data on the IOWArocks data marketplace, offering firms secure,
direct access that automates business operations while driving new
growth through a trusted source.
The fixed income space is rapidly evolving and being aware of
new issuance is a must. Data needs to be intelligent, tailored and
integrated into existing operations. With the launch, consumers can
quickly aggregate the evolution of a bond across multiple data
sources and access verified IGM Credit syndicated bond data through
the secure IOWArocks data marketplace.
IOWArocks, a global marketplace for data designed for financial
services, aims to reduce data acquisition costs, automate
operations, and help firms identify new trading strategies, gain
market share, and generate alpha. "Our goal is to free clients from
the restrictions of aging technology and outdated business
practices, while powering new growth," said IOWArocks CEO &
Co-Founder Paul Watmough. He added,
"With IGM Credit, we can arm them with leading bond issuance data
they can quickly roll out to serve a variety of departments within
their organization and begin exploring a new range of market
moves."
Combining market intelligence founded on deep relationships with
major bond issuers and syndicates, with in-house intelligence to
derive trusted performance metrics, is exactly what IGM has been
the market leader in, for over 20 years.
IGM clients utilize a direct data feed to power a wide variety
of workflow and analytical solutions to assess trends and
opportunities. "Whether you're an investment bank pitching new
strategies to clients, a trading firm running simulations in search
of predictive signals, or a portfolio manager deciding which bonds
to buy—you now have bond data that's expedited, simplified and
verified," said Andy Hicks, IGM Head
of Content and Product Strategy.
As an IOWArocks business partner, consumers can ingest the
already validated IGM Credit syndicated bond data in their
preferred format, whether that be through Microsoft Excel, or a
range of APIs, including Python, for quick integration. "It's
increasingly difficult for firms in this competitive global market
to distinguish credible sources from non-credible ones," said
Terry Wilby, IGM Head of Business,
"with IOWArocks, they can stay plugged into critical bond data
that's been tested and validated while bypassing the bottlenecking
that comes with onboarding."
