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.
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.
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.
