ISMA Launches Internet-Based Solution To Market Data Delivery

Date 19/02/2002

The International Securities Market Association (ISMA) is today launching a new market data service aimed at market makers, intermediaries, institutions and other investors. The launch is taking place at a flagship bond markets conference in London.

The new product - branded "isma.info" - brings together ISMA's longstanding expertise in producing reliable securities data into a comprehensive, internet-based solution.

For more than 9,500 international issues, isma.info provides daily bid and offer quotes from the world's major market makers in international securities. For thousands more bonds, its coverage stretches beyond securities where a bid and offer price has been provided by the dealers who report prices to ISMA. The service provides yield calculations and analytics, historical data and terms & conditions for an expansive range of straights, floating rate notes, convertibles and medium term notes.

isma.info features a range of indispensable static data relating to lead managers, exchange listings and ratings plus underlying data for convertibles and floating rate notes. The service also provides five-year historical charts including prices, yields, interest rates and indices. Users can configure the data display according to personal preferences by using data filters and sorting facilities. Additionally, isma.info offers access to a comprehensive archive of international securities prospectuses.

The web address for isma.info is http://isma.info.
