From April 25, 2016, Nasdaq will calculate Nordic Fixed Income indexes in Global Index Calculator.
- Global Index Calculator (GIC) is represented as a source in Genium Consolidated Feed (GCF). Index weights reports will move from File Delivery Service (FDS) to premium FTP service GIFFD; and will also continue to be available in Global Index Watch (GIW). Customers receiving index values from GCF will continue to receive the same data. Test data will be available in GCF and GIW/GIFFD from March 21, 2016.
Effective April 25, 2016, Nasdaq will start to calculate Fixed Income indexes Global Index Calculator powered by the Nasdaq INET® technology — the world's fastest trading system technology.
In Genium Consolidated Feed (GCF), the indexes will be connected to the GIC source that replaces the current ICS_FI source. ICS sources not affected by this migration project will continue to be available in GCF.
Consequently, reports for the affected indexes will no longer be available in File Delivery Service (FDS) as of April 25, 2016. Customers may access index weights reports via the Global Index Watch web service and index GIFFD FTP service.
Please contact DataProducts@nasdaq.com to request data file format specification document.
Time Schedule
March 21, 2016
Fixed Income index test data from Global Index Calculator available in GCF-, GIFFD- and GIW - test environments.
April 25, 2016
Global Index Calculator becomes the official source for Nordic Fixed Income indexes.
Index weights reports will no longer be available on File Delivery System (FDS). Global Index Watch (GIW) and a new premium GIFFD-FTP service will hold Nasdaq index weights data.
(Please note that file formats from FDS to new Premium Service and GIW will be different)
Why is Nasdaq making these changes?
This change is the next step in the process to bring all Nasdaq calculated indexes to the same state-of-the-art Global Index Calculator engine powered by Nasdaq INET® technology.
If I receive Nordic Fixed Income index data from the Genium Consolidated Feed (GCF), what is changing?
Indexes in the current ICS_FI source systems affected by this migration will be transitioned to Global Index Calculator in April, 2016.
Customers who receive index weights data from GCF will need to change their Source to Global Index Watch (GIW) or the new improved FTP GIFFD-service.
Customers who receive Nordic Fixed Income index values data from GCF will continue to receive the same data, but from the Global Index Calculator (GIC) source.
If I receive index data from the File Delivery Service (FDS), what is changing?
When an index is transitioned to the Global Index Calculator its data will no longer be available via FDS.
Nasdaq will offer index weights file distribution via two delivery platforms: Global index Watch (GIW) a web based platform, and via an enhanced premium FTP service (GIFFD).
Global Index Watch already contains the index weights data and is available to clients now.
GIW supports historical index data in excess of 30 days while FDS only provides 30 days of historical data access.
