Featured product brief
Advent Market Data
Integrate your market data sources seamlessly in the cloud.
Advent Market Data provides a single, cloud-based platform with connectivity to several leading global market data sources, allowing Advent Portfolio Exchange® to seamlessly acquire critical data for managing your portfolios. Firms using Advent Portfolio Exchange® (APX) rely on a range of market data from a variety of external sources. For relatively simple tasks such as securities pricing or more complex tasks like compliance, access to timely and reliable data is essential. Requirements may include end-of-day prices, foreign exchange rates, security reference data, or cash dividend transactions, just to name a few.
Multiple sources, one platform
Historically, each data source has required its own dedicated interface, resulting in a maze of connections that must be managed and maintained, adding risk, complexity, and cost to your firm. And they are typically limited in the data they make available to APX.
Advent Market Data (AMD) is changing that. AMD provides you with a single, cloud-based platform with connectivity to several leading global market data sources, allowing APX to seamlessly acquire critical data for managing your portfolios. As a cloud-based solution, AMD delivers these capabilities quickly and helps reduce the overhead associated with separately installed interfaces.
Faster, easier, more efficient data access
Spend less time collecting and compiling data and more time putting it to effective use. AMD enables you to:
Increase operational efficiency
- Cloud-based AMD allows you to connect to a single platform to acquire content from universally recognized sources of mission critical market data
- Streamline the processing, collection, and normalization of data to be used in APX
- AMD’s extensibility allows for a wider range of data acquisition versus interfaces that have a fixed set of fields and data elements
Reduce technology costs and risks
- Reduce the cost and effort associated with locally installed software
- Gain faster access to new data sources through an ever-expanding cloud-based solution
- Reduce the risk of disruptions resulting from providers changing data formats or technology updates. SS&C Advent updates the connectivity in the cloud
