Bloomberg’s Evaluated Pricing Service, BVAL, Wins Best Pricing and Valuations Data Provider

Bloomberg today announced that its leading evaluated pricing service, BVAL, has won Best Pricing and Valuations Data Provider at the A-Team Data Management Insight USA Awards 2024. Winners are selected based on votes from A-Team readers, many of whom are Bloomberg customers across the buy- and sell-side.

In today’s complex and volatile financial markets, transparent and independent pricing is essential.  BVAL stands out for its high quality evaluated pricing for over 3 million securities across the liquidity spectrum, including thinly-traded and hard-to-price fixed income securities. To deliver customers pricing transparency, BVAL details and explains its valuation process and gives insight into the data inputs and algorithmic methodologies used so firms can understand how pricing valuations are derived. Underscoring the reliability of BVAL’s pricing is that it serves as the primary pricing provider for the Bloomberg Fixed Income Indices, the top-rate source for benchmark and strategic indices.

“This win recognizes BVAL’s ability to deliver high quality valuations on a timely basis with significant transparency,” said Eric Isenberg, Global Head of Enterprise Data Pricing at Bloomberg. “Clients require data that they can trust and BVAL combines the best of human market experience with rigorous computational approaches to provide transparent, defensible pricing.”

Bloomberg not only addresses clients’ middle- and back-office workflow requirements with BVAL, Bloomberg also provides award-winning intraday pricing with its IBVAL Front Office pricing service to support front-office trading workflows. IBVAL uses the latest approaches in AI to price approximately 45,000 USD, GBP and Euro credit securities as fast as every 15 seconds so customers can quickly observe the likely current trading price of a bond.BVAL and IBVAL pricing are both readily available on the Bloomberg Terminal or for enterprise-wide use at data.Bloomberg.com.
