Success in today’s markets demands constant innovation: expansion across asset classes and geographies, the creation of new investment and trading strategies, improvements in operations, reporting and client service. At the same time, fi rms must address regulatory obligations and improve risk management practices.
Interactive Data introduces Apex: a new suite of reference data services to help address these issues with its breadth of coverage and ease of integration. Apex provides access to Interactive Data’s global coverage of 10 million instruments, across an extensive range of asset classes. Clients can leverage this data on a timely basis with event driven data delivery capabilities.
A logical data model covering descriptive, pricing and corporate actions data provides a normalized, pre-processed data set, so that you can more easily search for and leverage crucial information.

The data are always on, always accessible, always updated, allowing clients to respond faster to events that affect their portfolio, operations, and risk management activities.
Conventional wisdom has it that data costs substantially more to manage than to acquire. No longer: The Apex reference data platform can help to decrease costs while improving efficiency.
The key work has been done by Interactive Data, so acquisition, storage and parsing costs of data management can be greatly reduced. The need to build feed handlers can be reduced or even eliminated.
Interactive Data’s innovative data model can also significantly reduce the complexity of introducing content into in-house systems.
Standardized delivery technologies such as XML put firms in a position to handle the future. Growth doesn’t have to be predicated on a major technology commitment and increased investment.
FLEXIBLE DELIVERy
Flexible and configurable delivery capabilities give clients the power to put the data where it needs to be: on a desktop, in an application or applied to a workflow. These capabilities include:
• XML-based file delivery and messaging
• A Web Services API
• A Managed Database service
SUPERIOR DATA CONSISTENCyThe combination of the data model and delivery capabilities delivers another crucial benefit: data consistency. Enable your front, middle and back offices to access data based on their requirements and preferred methods and rest assured that everyone will access the same data, at the same time.
Investment strategy development, compliance, risk management and trade operations can be markedly improved while the cost of managing reference data can be significantly reduced.
The benefits of using the new service are immediate and applicable to a range of firms including broker dealers, asset managers, hedge funds and asset servicing organizations.
DATA QUALITyTimely, comprehensive and precise data can improve investment performance, enhance efficiency and reduce manual data reconciliation activities.
LEADING EDGE TECHNOLOGyA broad and deep data model, flexible file delivery capabilities, a web services, SOAP-based API and a managed database help slash development costs in a changing marketplace.
