The Global Investor Group website will be re-launched as Futures & Options World (FOW) on Tuesday 21st November 2023, with a new design and a breadth of premium derivatives content.
This new website will bring together the very best of FOW news and insights and provide access to trusted data by ETD, the leading derivatives data solutions provider to global investment banks.
All ETD and FOW offerings will come together under a single brand: FOW. This reflects our sharpened focus on providing high-quality data and market intelligence to the derivatives community, helping our clients stay a step ahead of developments in these markets. As part of this move, we will be sunsetting the GIG and ISF brands.
Our Global Investor Group subscribers will benefit from unfettered access to the industry’s most comprehensive Futures & Options database for the remainder of their subscription. We will be in touch with all subscribers in the coming weeks to provide details on how to access the database.
We are excited about the new FOW, and we think you will be as well. Should you have questions or require support, please don’t hesitate to contact jamie.mckay@globalinvestorgroup.com.
