BQuotes releases UIN database
BQuotes, the provider of pricing and data for OTC markets, has released a database of Universal Issuer Numbers. The UIN database provides a single reference point for data on CDS, tranches, indices, corporate bonds, convertibles, loan CDS, options, rolls, recovery swaps, switches and ABS/MBS.
BQuotes intends the database to provide an independent, centralised security master. This should support efforts to improve operational efficiency.
“The OTC markets are growing at an astronomical rate. It is incumbent on industry leaders to provide flexible solutions that can stay ahead of the curve and ensure that the market’s complexities and innovations do not create inefficiencies that affect the bottom line,” says Sam Polsky, VP of data products for BQuotes.
The UIN database also identifies credit risk levels across subsidiaries, seniority, securitisation, and documentation clause, with the appropriate reference bond issue identified in each case. This unified structure should reduce the number of mismatches on traded entities and securities.
BQuotes is making the UIN identifiers available throughout its product offerings.
