Changes to DOL Corporate Bond Prices

From 24th May 2010 DOL quotations for corporate bond instruments will be derived only from the closing price on the London Stock Exchange's Order book for Retail Bonds trading service. Bonds traded on this service are supported by committed market makers to ensure consistency and accuracy of pricing information.

This will result in a number of closing prices being removed from DOL. Interactive Data can provide prices for these securities from alternative sources. Should you require prices for these or any other non pricing securities, contact the team on 020 7825 8100 or email enquiries@interactivedata.com.

Finstat Data Files

Interactive Data has standardised the way that FINSTAT feeds are published. Undated versions of FINSTAT feeds will no longer be published to FTP accounts. The following files will only have a dated version:

SIS2, SIS3, SIS8, SISM, SISS, SISU, SISF, SIP1
UTML, UTSU, UTAC, UTIC, UTOC, UTAX, UTIX, UTOX
INSM, PENM, OFFM, BROM, UTBC

As an example SIS2 will appear as SIS20903.10 for a SIS2 file on the 9th of March 2010.

If you have been using undated files your systems will need to be adjusted to accommodate use of the dated versions.
Please contact bip.helpdesk@interactivedata.com if you have any queries.
