FTSE Data Via Barra Services

Date 15/10/2004

Further to the communication of last month, FTSE Group has been unable to reach an agreement with MSCI/Barra to maintain distribution of FTSE indices via Barra. Therefore (at this point), from November 1, 2004 FTSE data users will no longer be able to access FTSE data from Barra products.

The options available to FTSE data users are:

  • receive data directly from FTSE or other vendors to upload into Barra models
  • use an alternative Risk Management Solution provider

FTSE Group is currently working with a number of other leaders in risk management solutions to provide FTSE specific services. Northfield Information Services Inc launched the first service yesterday. Expect further announcements in due course. FTSE Group will, however, continue to make efforts to reach an agreement with MSCI/Barra but would like to keep its data users informed on the situation as it evolves.
