FT Interactive Data announced that it will expand its product offerings to include access to independent valuations of credit default swap index trades.
The access to CDS index trade valuations, the company says, will help clients to value diverse derivatives portfolios more effectively.
As derivative portfolios continue to grow the size and value, FT Interactive Data says investors are searching for greater liquidity, convenience and efficiency in their transactions.
FT Interactive Data’s new CDS index valuation service is designed, the company says, to improve the automated delivery of independent valuations of CDS trades by way of an add-on to FT Interactive Data’s evaluation services or as an addition to its FTST online portfolio management service.
