Bloomberg Solutions

Overview

Data - accurate, transparent and comprehensive data. That’s something you can build your business on. That’s our bedrock. That’s what approximately 300,000 financial professionals expect-and get- from us. Our data is updated, scrutinized and verified around the clock. We let you confidently track more than 6 million financial instruments. You get global breadth and local depth, without compromise.

BVAL

Quality valuations are essential to your business. That’s why you need BVAL. It sets a new standard for data transparency and quality in asset valuation. It’s a base you can count on for building your pricing structure.

It combines unique market insight with data from over 4,000 contributing sources, to produce credible, transparent and defensible valuations.

We subject all contributed data to a rigorous verification and scrubbing process. Then we use sophisticated models to detect any outliers and intelligently use the data. We support the whole process by constant monitoring of market observation inputs.

What’s the BVAL score? It’s what’s behind the numbers. BVAL produces a score for each price data. That score measures the depth and breadth of the contributed information, so you get an idea of the underlying market liquidity.

We deliver BVAL data through the Bloomberg data license and the Bloomberg Professional service. That way all market participants, from traders to portfolio managers and researchers, are using exactly the same valuations as their mid- and back-offices, without discrepancies. That’s efficient.

The BVAL team is always on the job, monitoring the process, and standing ready to provide exceptional customer service. Our group of evaluators - all former capital markets professionals and experts in specific instruments and markets - are here to address price queries and challenges in real-time.
