Understanding Index Data Management
About Index Data Management
Ultumus Index Data Management deals with the complexity of managing numerous index variants, as an example a single index can have forty five separate variants, each calculated in different currencies and return types, resulting in multiple versions of a single index and we’ll take care of that for you.
Operational Considerations in Index Data Management
ULTUMUS aggregates index data from multiple providers like FTSE, MSCI, S&P, and others, standardising it into a unified structure despite the complexity and variety of the original formats and processes.
The company manages the intricacies of index data, which includes not just end-of-day values but also a time series of data points, encompassing open positions, corporate actions, dividends, and stock adjustments.
Additionally, ULTUMUS structures various data files, including forward-looking corporate action files and index rebalance files, into a time series JSON-based API for easier programmatic consumption by clients.
Benchmark Data – Global Access + Immediate Delivery
ULTUMUS provides more versatile and flexible index data that can feed into more use cases,
because it includes all industry standard identifiers, as well as open, close, proforma and
rebalance versions. This maximises clients’ freedom to work with existing and new indices,
asset classes and vendors.
Flexible Pricing Models – That Align With Your Reality
A smart flexible API model can cap and collar costs for multiple use cases, and volumes of
data, in a transparent and predictable way.
Indirect costs of using indices are multiples of license costs
Internal capital spending and operating spending on managing benchmarks can be many
times larger than the license costs.
Smart efficient API Data as a Service (DaaS) solutions
Data as a Service (DaaS) solutions can tailor data transformation and quality assurance to
the use case, and maintain domain expertise within firms.
DaaS solutions can of course coexist with others, and it may be wise to diversify in this way.
