Standard & Poors launches SecurityMaster ServicesSM, a web services delivery platform with direct access to three securities data – the ISIDPlus global cross reference database, CUSIP Syndicated Loan Service and the ANNA Service Bureaus ISIN database in addition to the initial CUSIP Master File data.
Provided with four critical global reference and cross-reference databases through Standard & Poors SecurityMaster Services clients can obtain up-to-date and comprehensive global reference data which lead to more informed investment decisions. Clients can search and retrieve information from the platform using predefined parameters, including issuer name, security description, dated date, coupon, maturity date, domicile, and last update.
Standard & Poors SecurityMaster Services now embraces four critical datasets with more than 10 million instrument identifiers and related descriptive data: CUSIP Master File Six million Corporate, U.S. Government and Municipal identifiers; ISIDPlus with more than 1.4 million globally traded instruments; ANNAs ISIN Service Four million ISINs sourced directly from 75 numbering agencies; Syndicated Loan Service with 8,000 Loan CUSIPs covering U.S. bank loan deals and facilities.
The Standard & Poors SecurityMaster Services interface allows clients to fully customize both content and frequency to obtain new instrument-level information as it becomes available.
Standard & Poors SecurityMaster Services, using API technology, gives our clients the flexibility and tools they require to efficiently integrate this reference and cross-reference content into the workflow solutions they are building, says Jim Taylor, managing director, Standard & Poors.
