Market Data Vendors

Garbage In, Garbage Out


Hedge funds and asset managers rely on historical market data to analyze portfolio performance and need real-time price ticks to monitor valuations and execute trade orders.


Smaller hedge funds, aiming to maximize their resources, might employ proprietary systems for portfolio and order management, necessitating the consumption of large volumes of data. Many vendors offer APIs tailored to these specialized applications.

Investment technology vendor platforms often supply data through aggregators like Bloomberg or FactSet, which can be sufficient. However, many fund managers employ unique strategies for portfolio construction, analysis, and rebalancing, typically requiring specialized datasets.


Costs vary significantly and depend on multiple parameters, including country, exchange, data delivery frequency (delayed or real-time), and whether the data is consolidated or exchange-specific.
