Evaluated Pricing

EVALUATED PRICING

Backed by 40 years of experience, Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data has proven itself to be an industry leader in evaluated pricing, setting the standard for coverage, quality and reliable delivery.

Reliable and Transparent Pricing
We offer evaluated pricing for more than 2.5 million securities every business day, across a broad spectrum of fixed income security types.

Meeting Client Needs Front-to-Back
Evaluated pricing is critical for fund managers, compliance teams, risk managers and auditors, as well as pricing and valuation analysts. Our carefully designed methodologies produce evaluations that can be considered as part of a high quality portfolio valuation process. Our evaluations can help clients meet their fair value requirements and the demands of risk and portfolio management.

An Independent Source

Our evaluations represent our good faith opinion as to what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security (typically in an institutional round lot position) in a current sale. We are not affiliated with or owned by a securities broker, dealer or underwriter, nor are we actively involved in the business of investment management or securities trading. We do not advise clients on whether they should buy, sell or hold securities.

We are a supplier of evaluated pricing to more than 7,000 global financial institutions.

Methodology

Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data's evaluation methodologies combine proven in-house modeling techniques, information from extensive market sources, and a team of evaluators who integrate observed transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information into our evaluations. Our objective is to detect and capture market activity, which typically relates only to a fraction of the outstanding fixed income securities, and extrapolate that information using our models and methodologies to the population of bonds for which market activity is not available.

Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data's core strength lies in the breadth of our coverage, our experience, and our ability to deliver the data through a number of channels. We have approximately 90 evaluators and analysts globally who support our fixed income evaluations. Their depth and breadth of experience enable us to understand and to analyze the various characteristics of complex instruments.

Bid Information
Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data routinely seeks to obtain market color, including bid information received by our fund clients, as part of our evaluation methodologies. To that end, we request that clients forward bid information to the evaluation team. Verifiable information will be reflected in our evaluations to the extent that we deem it formative of our good faith opinion as to what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for the security (typically in an institutional round lot position) in a current sale.
