Enhancing Market Transparency with Wematch’s Data and Contribution Service

We are transforming how transparency is achieved in our space through our Data and Contribution Service. By leveraging advanced technology and a robust network effect we offer market participants unparalleled insights and efficiency.

Our Role in Market Transparency

The Data and Contribution Service is designed to address specific challenges in the market, such as meeting regulatory requirements like the Risk Factor Eligibility Test (RFET) and standardising the TRS funding curve. Here’s how we enhance market transparency:

  • Providing Robust and Transparent Data: We aggregate and standardise trade and committed quote data, making it more observable and tradable. This transparency helps firms comply confidently with RFET requirements, ensuring that risk factors are backed by observable market data.
  • Standardisation of TRS Funding Curves: By standardising funding curves, we improve the comparability of data across the market. This standardisation is crucial for accurate risk assessment and pricing, aiding market participants in aligning their strategies and maintaining compliance.
  • Custom Data Reports Delivered via API: Our platform provides customised data reports tailored to your specific regulatory and operational needs. Our reports, delivered seamlessly through API integration, enable you to access real-time, actionable insights, facilitating better decision-making.

 

Key Benefits of Working with Wematch

  • Enhanced Data Accuracy and Reliability: By pooling data from multiple banks and trading entities, we ensure high data accuracy. This aggregated data not only provides a clearer picture of market trends but also helps in benchmarking and market analysis.
  • Transparency in Trades and Quote Data: Our service ensures that all trades and quote data are transparent across multiple levels. This transparency reduces discrepancies and increases trust among market participants.
  • Support for Regulatory Compliance: Working with us as a data partner reduces the time required to achieve compliance with complex regulations like the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB). Our platform’s ability to deliver observable and tradable data points helps firms meet stringent regulatory standards more efficiently.

 

Implementing the Data and Contribution Service

  • API Integration for Seamless Data Exchange: All Wematch services are built with API integration capabilities, enabling seamless data exchange and ensuring that all information is consistently updated and accurate across different systems​
  • Real-Time Data Feeds and Custom Reporting: With real-time data feeds, you can quickly respond to market changes, enhancing operational efficiency. Custom reporting tools allow for tailored insights, ensuring that you have the information necessary for compliance and strategic planning.

 

Wematch’s Data and Contribution Service plays a vital role in enhancing market transparency in the securities financing industry.
