Market Data Manager

Because there are so many different markets in which to trade and so many new and emerging electronic trading venues, market data managers are faced with an immense array of service choices and options. Whichever they choose, it is guaranteed to be very expensive. Globally, financial firms currently spend over $30 billion in market data services each year.

It is reassuring to know, therefore, that since 1995 Market Data Manager (MDM) has been in constant use by the world's leading institutions, helping them manage the cost and monitor the consumption of market data.

Today, MDM is recognised as the market leading solution for proactive market data contract management, business insight reporting, invoice reconciliation and cost analysis of market data spend. When costs are this high and commitments so complex, no responsible trading firm should be without a proven Market Data Management solution. Sensibly, over 90% of global trading firms have chosen to use MDM.
