Opening Up Securities Identification Practices

For the third year in a row, TABB Group surveyed more than 100 senior data leaders across the globe to get their views on the topic of instrument identification and to understand key trends in securities identification practices. Streamlining instrument identification – coupled with improving entity identification and the industry’s overall approach to managing identifiers – could have a significant impact across firms’ value. The third iteration of this survey helps establish a foundational benchmark for a topic that typically is considered simply a cost of doing business and lumped into market data or reference data discussions.
