Structured Note Pricing: The SQX Difference

A Popular Option

Structured notes are on the rise. In recent years, investors have been seeking customized solutions that blend fixed-income and equity features. Increasingly, they’re turning to structured notes to meet these needs. However, pricing these complex instruments is one of the greatest challenges for financial institutions. Going to big data vendors won’t help you (unless you like sky-high prices and terrible service).


SQX offers the premier option for broker-quoted structured notes pricing. We specialize in providing comprehensive and customizable pricing solutions for structured notes. Let’s dig into some details.


Comprehensive Coverage

The most obvious feature that makes SQX structured note pricing unique is our extensive coverage. It’s the largest in the U.S. We’re pretty proud of this. Our comprehensive broker network includes both domestic and international sell-side desks, enabling SQX to aggregate broker-quoted prices on over 100,000 structured notes. 


Because structured notes are highly customizable, with varying terms tied to market indices, commodities, or interest rates, pricing can be complex and inconsistent across sources. SQX receives prices directly from our large global network of issuers, ensuring that our clients receive the most accurate prices available. This level of coverage provides our clients with a more accurate, well-rounded picture.


Intraday Updates

The conditions of the structured note market can change at the blink of an eye. If you don’t get timely updates, you’ll fall behind. SQX’s pricing updates make sure this doesn’t happen. Our clients count on receiving up-to-date information for our full universe of structured notes—letting them react to market movements with lightning speed. We receive pricing files from brokers throughout the day, allowing clients to receive ether end-of-day or intraday updates. If the price has changed since the last update, you’ll know about it.


Clients receive these updates through secure accounts, with the data delivered via SFTP or API, depending on what best fits your needs. Whether it’s responding to market volatility or making strategic decisions on structured note portfolios, these updates allow asset managers and investment advisors to stay nimble and informed. When you partner with SQX, we make sure that you’re always a step ahead.


The Power of Customization

One size never fits all. SQX knows this better than anyone. That’s why we offer highly customizable pricing solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs. Institutions can fine-tune their services with:

  • Custom security inclusion criteria: Focus on what matters to you.
  • Custom price selection logic: Choose how prices from multiple brokers are selected and prioritized.
  • Custom file formats: Seamlessly integrate data into your systems with secure SFTP or API file transfer.
  • Custom delivery options: Receive data on an end-of-day or intraday basis.



This means that whether you’re an investment bank, hedge fund, or insurance company, SQX delivers exactly the data you need, in the format that best fits your workflow. Precise data management can make or break compliance efforts. This sort of flexibility is crucial.


Customer-Centric Service

Many financial data vendors only focus on the numbers. But around here, we know that we’re ultimately working with people, not institutions. We’re dedicated to treating our clients like human beings, not walking checkbooks.


If you reach out to us, we’ll respond promptly. As in, less-than-24-hours promptly. You will never—repeat, never—be left wondering if we got your message. In an industry where delayed support can cause harmful ripple effects, this commitment to rapid response is crucial. What’s more, we’re always friendly, patient, and kind. Working with a data provider who’s a good listener makes a pretty big difference. SQX’s customer-first approach means you don’t just get a service—you get a partnership.
