Update: Nordic Fixed Income Indexes Transition to Global Index Calculator – New date: June 6, 2016


Monday June 6, 2016 is the new date from when 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.

 

Effective June 6, 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 June 6, 2016. Customers may access index weights reports today via the Global Index Watch web service and index GIFFD FTP service.

File Delivery Service (FDS)

Index weight reports
Indexes that are migrated to the Global Index Calculator (GIC) will no longer generate index weights reports on File Delivery Service (FDS). Currently, the Nordic Index weights product offers index data through both the FDS and the Global Index Watch (GIW) platforms, but effective June 6, 2016, this data will be available on GIW and GIFFD.


When an index is transitioned to the Global Index Calculator its data will no longer be available via FDS.

GIW supports historical index data in excess of 30 days while FDS only provides 30 days of historical data access.

 

 

Global Index Watch (GIW)

As of June 6, 2016, the index weights reports for indexes migrated to GIC will exclusively be available in GIW and GIFFD and will no longer be included on FDS.  Visit the Global Index Watch website to learn more:
