Unrivaled coverage of the tradeable universe
The demand for processing and reporting reference data in derivatives trading has increased in the past decade. This has resulted in heightened concerns over financial and reputational risks associated with inaccurate data, making compliance departments more vigilant.

To establish an efficient workflow, minimise operational costs, and meet reporting requirements, the sell-side must better manage reference data internally and externally.
What our clients say
VP Business Analyst FO and OTC Clearing, Sell side T1
10 out of 10. If I went to a different firm and they didn’t use FOW, then I would tell them that they should look into it as a source of data because of the difference they would make.
Conference delegate
“Trading Amsterdam continues to inform, interact and interest the trading community.”
F&O Projects, Sell Side T2
Having accurate data is the driver for any business these days, as well as the ability to customise it to suit the end user's needs. I think this is a key distinguishing factor of FOW.
Conference sponsor
“A fantastic opportunity to talk to industry peers – I did more in 3 hours of networking during Trading Amsterdam than 1 month in the office.”
Asset Information Manager, Buy Side
Accuracy is the most important thing for us, and that's why we onboarded FOW. They provide accuracy at a reasonable price, and their solution is easy to use.
Conference delegate
“Trading Singapore is the quintessential capital markets trading conference in Asia with insightful discussions and candid thoughts shared by the industry leaders.”
Global Head of Market Data, Technology Vendor
Our main requirement is a single source of consolidated data which means we don't have to go through the pain of sourcing it from multiple suppliers - we get this from FOW.
Global Head of Data Operations, Technology Vendor
FOW data is used by a host of people within a bank. It's used by traders for more details on the report, it's used by surveillance, and it's also used by Regulation and Compliance, if needed.
F&O Projects, Sell Side T2
The sheer size of the static data we're filing now - manually maintaining it is an industry on its own. So having accurate data from a third party that takes all the exchange feeds is vital, and FOW does just that.

Reference Data: The Essential Guide

As the number of financial markets, assets, issuers, products and participants continues to grow - potentially by 100 times in the next decade - with an associated increase in data volumes and complexities, the impact of reference data on financial markets will be even more important in the years to come.

Download our comprehensive eBook “Reference Data: The Essential Guide” as we discuss:

  • Oiling the wheels of financial transaction processing
  • Regulatory compliance: Trying to hit a moving target with one hand tied behind your back

Latest insights
  1. Article
    Wrongly ‘labelled’ products and the wrong information in the wrong reporting fields will cause EMIR Refit reporting failures, with associated tedious and costly remediation and re-reporting and potential for regulatory penalties and sanctions.
  2. Report
    More than half of tier 2 & 3 banks have an inefficient derivatives reference data workflow, a study by FOW and Acuiti.io has found.
  3. In the same way that organised marketplaces – or exchanges - for the sale and purchase of physical commodities – grain, cattle and other goods – have been around for thousands of years, so too has the principle of ‘derivative’ contracts – based on an agreement today governing something that might happen to an underlying asset in the future.
