Whether your firm’s market data program is in its infancy or mature and whether you outsource or manage it all in-house, you should know where you stand. In this survey, we will look at how effectively your firm is managing data costs, contract compliance, and servicing your business’ market data needs.
The study explores your firm’s capabilities in the following key categories:
