Data with more utility
Vast amounts of data offer nearly unlimited potential for new product development. But data sets of variable quality served with variable data pose a challenge to success. The quality of your work depends on the quality of data on which it is based, tested and refined. We have built our business on securely providing fast, accurate, high-quality data, structured to maximize its utility.
And, beyond the data, Bloomberg delivers extremely useful analytics for improving data quality, providing quantitative analysis, pricing simple and complex financial products, assessing the risk of derivatives portfolios and much more — to help you get to better ideas and execution, fast.
Data acquisition and management
Good ideas require good data. Developing a complex algorithm that successfully drives alpha depends on a reliable stream of clean, timely and complete data. Get fast and accurate structured pricing, market, regulatory, and reference data through Bloomberg. We deliver high quality data on OTC, non-valued instruments, and non-quoted entities. We supply event-driven feeds and a full complement of analytic tools and environments to help you make that data work harder and better.
Market surveillance and analysis
Anticipate shifts in sentiment and align your models to market movements — with a deep understanding of historical trends and broader economic forces driving present market conditions. Get instant access to in-depth knowledge of markets and monitor current market, world and economic events — all filtered through the parameters you prioritize. Utilize derived data sets that integrate quantified sentiment, and metrics that assess that sentiment’s trustworthiness. Surface the information you need quickly and easily with charting and data visualization tools, including forward-looking tools that anticipate future market trends. Build, test and deploy new quantitative models with our cloud-based end-to-end investment research platform specifically designed for quantitative analysts, called BQuant Desktop.
Company and industry analysis
Detailed company and industry data give you a wealth of information — we help turn that into actionable insights. Turn data into inspiration with powerful analytics that surface opportunities revealed in company fundamentals, corporate actions or even a company’s supply chain. Check the corporate structure to understand issuer relationships or the capital structure for their liabilities, including aggregated debt information. Access independent evaluation of a company’s credit health. Bloomberg’s best-in-class reference data, premium company information and deep industry data sets, including health care, energy, technology and industrial, make the constant quest for alpha easier.
Pricing and modeling
With increased regulatory scrutiny and the rising complexity of financial products, clear, defensible pricing is both more important and more difficult than ever. Most of the millions of securities that exist are thinly traded and difficult to price. Obtain a greater sense of control with our valuation tools. Bloomberg’s evaluated pricing service, BVAL, helps you meet these challenges by combining vast amounts of high-quality market data with precise calibration to provide unbiased, independent valuations that are credible, transparent and defensible across a broad spectrum of financial instruments. Price complex derivatives with state-of-the art models that include stable and robust curves and implied volatility surfaces. Use our risk systems to more quickly comply with industry practices and ever-changing regulatory requirements.
