Futures and options
reference data solutions
Most providers of market reference data operate a model of ‘one size fits all’. This leads to overpaying for the data you need because they include a lot of data sets you never use.
With FOW, you only pay for the data you want, ensuring that every client is getting a tailored data set based on their needs.
FOW’s reference data is also widely used to validate data from other sources, so if you are trading futures and options our solutions will enable you to reduce the risk of trade breaks, increase operational efficiency and better comply with changing regulation.
Many of our clients are already using other established data providers, however, it’s unlikely that they can give you access to all the data you need.
With over 110 exchanges covered, we deliver the most comprehensive futures and options data sets you can get.
We also work with 20+ partners including Bloomberg and Refinitiv, and it is this multi-vendor participation in our Symbol Mapping service that sets us apart.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.
