Built for accuracy,
auditability and control
Index data errors can have immediate downstream impact, especially around corporate actions, rebalance events, divisor changes and provider file updates. Ultumus applies multiple validation layers before data reaches clients, including ground-up recalculation, today-versus-yesterday checks, corporate action validation and methodology-aligned controls.
Every output is published as an atomic, versioned record with a full date and timestamp. Clients can trace each data point back to source, understand what changed and reconstruct index data at a historical, current or future point in time. This supports internal controls, client reporting, regulatory requirements and benchmark data governance, including EU BMR, US Section 871(m) and 5-year historical lookback workflows where relevant. This gives teams a stronger foundation for index data management, audit review and benchmark regulation workflows.

Ultumus is designed to fit into existing data infrastructure without forcing firms to rebuild around another provider format.

Frequently asked questions
What is Index Managed Data?
Index Managed Data is index and benchmark information that is sourced, aggregated, normalised, validated and maintained through a single operational feed. Ultumus consolidates data from more than 1,000 index providers into a consistent feed covering index compositions, constituents, values, open and close levels, historical performance and analytics. This gives financial institutions traceable, permissioned and operationally ready index data without requiring them to manage multiple provider formats and delivery schedules internally.
How does Ultumus help firms manage data from multiple index providers?
Ultumus consolidates data from more than 1,000 index providers across equities, fixed income, commodities and crypto into a single normalised feed. For each index, we bring together composition, index value, dividend and corporate action files, align them, monitor them for changes. Instead of managing dozens of different formats, schedules, and provider relationships, firms integrate once with Ultumus and receive consistent, validated data through one permissioned API, supported by 24-hour 5 days a week across all time zones.
How does Ultumus ensure index data accuracy and consistency?
Every dataset is validated through multiple layers of control. Ultumus performs ground-up recalculation, today-versus-yesterday checks and validation against announced corporate actions to confirm each event is applied in line with provider methodology. Any value that fails a check is flagged for review before it reaches clients. Outputs are published in a single normalised structure, so data is consistent across every provider and asset class. Any value that fails a check is flagged for review before it reaches clients.
How are corporate actions reflected in the index data feed?
Corporate actions, dividends and rebalances are captured as independent, dated events and layered on top of the current dataset as a time series. This includes corporate actions data used to monitor announced events and reflect provider methodology. This allows clients to see the individual drivers of each change and reconstruct an index at a historical, current or future point in time.
What delivery options are available for index data?
Ultumus index data is available through API, FTP, GUI, Excel and data vendor integrations. Clients can also access data through the Atlas platform for operational monitoring and exception management. Access is permissioned to the indices and data types each client is entitled to use.
Can clients access historical index data and audit trails?
Yes. Every output is published as a versioned, time-stamped record, giving clients a full audit trail of the index data they consume. Rebalances and corporate actions are held as a dated time series, so an index can be reconstructed as it stood at a previous point in time. This versioned, time-stamped record provides a full audit trail to support internal controls, client reporting, and regulatory requirements.
How does Ultumus support rebalance events and index divisor changes?
Rebalances, divisor changes and related corporate actions are captured as independent, dated events and validated against each provider's methodology before being layered onto the current dataset as a time series. Where announced in advance, these events are embedded ahead of their effective date, helping clients reduce the risk of composition mismatches, divisor errors and late rebalance updates.
How does Ultumus help prevent delayed or missing index data delivery?
Late or missing files from index providers can affect trading, pricing and risk processes around market open. Ultumus monitors provider file delivery, validates updates as they arrive, and flags exceptions before they create downstream reconciliation issues. This helps clients reduce the risk of late composition files, missed corporate actions, stale constituent data and unresolved provider updates.
How can firms access ETF and index data through Atlas?
Atlas gives firms a unified access point for index data and ETF data, including index compositions, corporate actions, rebalance data and operational monitoring. Clients can use Atlas alongside API, SFTP, GUI, Excel and data vendor integrations, giving teams flexibility to consume data through their preferred workflow while maintaining one consistent source of control.
