Charles River Adds Thomson Reuters Fixed Income Pricing & Reference Data

Charles River’s mainstay data service now offers more pricing and reference data across multiple asset classes, helping meet the requirements of today’s cross asset trader.

The provider of front- and middle-office investment management solutions and execution management systems has linked up with Thomson Reuters to bring more information to Charles’ Managed Data Service. The service provides benchmark, reference and issuer data, real-time pricing and new security setup.

“The addition of Thomson Reuters pricing, reference and legal entity data, as well as analytics represents a strategic expansion to provide clients with a more complete global offering, including security master data for international corporate and government fixed income instruments,” said Brad Haigis, director, Charles River Data Service.

The Charles River Data Service aggregates from multiple sources, validated, enriched, and directly fed ‘hand-in-glove’ in the Charles River Investment Management Solution (Charles River IMS) and managed to give clients complete, accurate and timely data throughout the trade lifecycle. It is an integral part of Charles River’s Software as a Service (SaaS) solution and is also available to legacy client-hosted environments.

Thomson Reuters is an originator, consolidator and re-distributor of security and financial instrument data with hundreds of sources. The coverage includes spot rates on 175 currencies, corporate actions on over 50,000 companies globally, end-of-day prices from 180+ exchanges, as well as comprehensive coverage for fixed income, derivatives, and foreign exchange.
