Evaluated Pricing

EVALUATED PRICING

Backed by 25 years of expertise in the U.S. bond markets, 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, irrespective of whether trades have occurred.

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 mark-to-market pricing obligations and the demands of risk and portfolio management.

An Independent Source
We do not advise clients as to what securities they should buy or sell. 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 a supplier of evaluated pricing to more than 4,000 global financial institutions.

A Rigorous Methodology
Our evaluated pricing methodology combines proven in-house modeling techniques, information from extensive market sources and a team of evaluators who integrate relative credit information, perceived market movements, and sector news into the proprietary model for bond evaluations.

Our core strength lies in our ability to offer services for "hard to price" securities, including categories such as high yield corporate and municipal bonds, distressed issues, convertibles, and CMBS. The key to this capability is the depth and breadth of our staff's experience, which enables us to understand and to analyze the various characteristics of complex instruments.

Bid Information Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data 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.
