What is added?

To meet increasing customer demand for benchmark pricing and valuation data and to accommodate new regulatory requirements Nasdaq is making improvements to the Nordic Fixed Income product by including new Fair Value prices on Swedish Corporate Bonds and illiquid Fixed Danish Mortgage Bonds. This will give the customers the possibility to receive independent data from a highly reliable provider.

This includes three new TIP-fields in message BondAnalytics:

  • FairValue
  • FairValueSpread
  • FairValueRanking

The Fair Value price on illiquid fixed Danish Mortgage Bonds is calculated by an advanced and dynamic Fair Value model developed by experts with extensive experience. The Fair Value price is calculated primarily from a basket of similar bonds or a CPR (Conditional Prepayment Rate) calculation. This provides a price, a price spread and a ranking of the price – the latter is, for example, if the trades are recent the Fair Value price will then get a strong rating or the opposite.
