Frequently Asked Questions

Our proprietary method of analysing and reporting data means that experienced analysts read and classify transactions, accurately recording the true nature of a reported trade in a consistent manner. Our software minimises that risk through a series of checks and verifications.
Complex announcements are escalated for a second opinion. Survivor bias is eliminated, historic data includes defunct companies, we never delete transactions.

Data is uploaded into our database using proprietary software and delivered in near real-time to quant clients. Usually, it is around 1,000 trades per day.
Regulatory reports are tracked in real-time ensuring that we know where and when transactions are reported in every market. We use proprietary software to categorise and analyse the metadata before passing it to the appropriate analyst to process.
While processing requires manual oversight by skilled analysts, much of the production and QA process is automated to ensure data is of the highest quality.
