Reduce costs, ensure compliance, and optimize your market data operations with industry-leading expertise
Asset management firms are grappling with surging market data costs, particularly from benchmark and index data providers. In 2024, global spend on financial market data hit record levels (over $44 billion).
Large investment banks operate large, multi-department platforms that consume vast amounts of real-time market data, reference data, and analytics – and the licensing structure around this data has become a major pain point.
Hedge funds increasingly attribute their competitive edge to proprietary data and analytics, from high-frequency market feeds to niche alternative datasets. The challenge is usage optimization – making sure every dataset and feed in the firm's portfolio is delivering value that justifies its cost and complexity.
Private equity (PE) firms have historically been lean on market data, but that is changing due to regulatory compliance pressures. In 2024–2025, U.S.-based private fund managers face a wave of new regulatory expectations around transparency, reporting, and data governance.
