Questions and answers

How we support professional market participants that need independent third-party prices and indices.

How can Nordic Bond Pricing assist?

We are an independent provider of third-party prices and indices for professional market participants that need ongoing fixed income valuation, for uses such as NAV calculations, financial reporting, performance measurement and risk measurement.

How are the prices calculated?

We have agreements with the main brokerage houses to collect the input data needed for bond prices. Data reported by leading banks and brokerage houses is combined with other market observations, such as traded prices, processed through our financial models and reviewed closely by our analysts before release.

How are prices and indices distributed?

Access to evaluated prices and index data is subscription-based, with fees depending on the volumes required. Data is distributed electronically through Nordic Trustee’s Stamdata feed.
