Consolidated Tape
Previously in this whitepaper series and alongside our work with the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), we have highlighted the data quality issues and basic building blocks that need to be addressed, to maximise the efficiency of a CTP.
In this latest paper, we try to create a singular view of the issues relating to ‘data quality’ and summarise their impact and the challenges market participants and retail investors face, as a result.
Consolidated Tape
As the process of constructing and refining a consolidated tape (or tapes) gains momentum across the buy-side, sell-side and regulatory bodies, focus is now moving from the data quality issues to the practicalities of how and what will be implemented.
In our fourth whitepaper of this series, we explore ‘The ABC’s of the CTP’, identifying the basic building blocks that need to be addressed to maximise the efficiency of Consolidated Tape data, whilst minimising cost. We also explore how open APIs can increase the connectivity of data, to easily extract its value across the business.

In the third whitepaper of this series, we explore the coherence of underlying transaction data, an issue at the root of the data quality problem.
This whitepaper is driven by FINBOURNE analysis, using publicly available, post-trade transaction data from a number of the largest trading venues and APAs.

The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) and FINBOURNE Technology have today published the second in a series of new reports, which analyses EU sovereign and public bond trading data consolidated from numerous sources for the period of March to December 2021. This report follows an earlier April 2022 report which focused on the corporate bond trading landscape.

In the first of this two-part blog, we explored the role of a fit-for-purpose CT, combined with an interoperable API framework and how these combine to deliver value. In this second part, we discover the different approaches firms will take, based on their existing technology and systems and why a holistic approach to CT data provides the best foundation to assess liquidity and reap market opportunities.
Consolidated Tape
In this two-part blog, we uncover the benefits of a fit-for-purpose CT, combined with an interoperable API framework and a holistic approach to organisational data; and why together, they are key to unlocking the value of transaction data in a consolidated tape, for firms and the market as a whole.
