Most firms would never manage any other major expense with the blind spots that surround market data, so why this one? Hidden waste, duplicate feeds, unused licenses… it all adds up. The question is: are you seeing the waste, or ignoring it?
We asked Hobson & Company, a firm specializing in independent ROI analysis, to dig into the numbers and interview our clients to understand the true impact of proactive market data program management. This in-depth study reveals how firms worldwide are using TRG Screen solutions to cut millions in cost, reduce risk and reclaim valuable time.
The Solution
The Research Reveals
Research across TRG Screen’s client base reveals that its comprehensive market data management solution can:
We saved an average of $2M per year in data feed costs. We can see upticks right away and determine the cause, which helps mitigate spend.
Global Market Lead
Before, unused terminals lingered on the books. Now we get constant alerts, nothing falls through the cracks, and enables timely cancellations and cost savings.
Enterprise Data Lead
Have seen an average reduction in spend of more than $3M per year due to MISU credits and netting. This would not have been possible before.
SVP, Global Market Data Services
TRG Screen helps ensure compliance, which is big in terms of cost avoidance. These costs can be significant as exchanges can impose a number of different penalties.
Global Market Data Lead
We no longer have to trawl through vendor or exchange websites to look for notices and changes, they system fully monitors this and send out automatic notifications.
Senior Manager, Compliance & Audit
We freed up 35–50% of FTE time to focus on higher-value work, such as gaining a clearer view of user needs, proactively identifying data opportunities, strengthening vendor relationships and improving negotiation outcomes.
Global Head of Market Data
We saw a 40-50% reduction in contract renewal time. All contract data and expiry dates are in one place, no more digging through individual agreements for every renewal.
Investment Manager
These exchange management tools make compliance and policy oversight far easier, and the time saved on exchange reporting has led to a 75–90% reduction in effort for our market data team.
