SIX Financial Information's Barry Raskin on winning Best Corporate Actions Data Provider

With the growing complexity of corporate actions announcements, firms are looking for vendors providing accurate and timely corporate actions data. Increased pressure from customers means today's preference is often to have access to preliminary data sooner rather than having confirmed data later. The award for best corporate actions data provider recognizes the companies that collect this information and distribute it to data consumers in a standardized format.

The nominees in this category were Bloomberg, Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. (DTCC), Fidelity ActionsXchange, Interactive Data, SIX Financial Information and Thomson Reuters.

The winner was SIX Financial Information, formerly known as SIX Telekurs. Currently involved in a major re-platforming project for its market data and reference data, this is the third year in a row that SIX Financial Information has won this award.
