London, 1 June 2011: SuperDerivatives (SD), the derivatives benchmark and multi-asset front office solution, has been recognised as the best derivatives data provider in this year’s Inside Market Data Awards for its independent market data service.

The annual Inside Market Data Awards recognise industry excellence in market data management, and are voted for by market data end-users across the buy- and sell-side. SD beat off competition from other finalists in the category including Bloomberg, MarkIT and Thomson Reuters.

SD’s data is sourced from trading desks at close to a hundred global and local interdealer brokers, market makers, exchanges and trading platforms as well as top data aggregators. These true live market rates are then acid tested in real-time in the marketplace by active traders. The broad market data contribution means that pricing information is truly neutral and unbiased, ensuring market participants have access to the most accurate information at all times.

Max Bowie, Editor of Inside Market Data comments: "Because these categories of the Inside Market Data and Inside Reference Data Awards are voted for only by end-users of data products and services – i.e. banks and buy-side firms – they provide an indication of the data providers who do the best job of serving their clients in each business area and asset class. We congratulate SuperDerivatives for winning the Best Data Provider for Derivatives award, which it also won in 2007.”

Bonnie Eshel, Head of Market Data at SD comments: “To have the honour of winning this award is further proof that SuperDerivatives’ market data has become an indispensable tool for institutions on both the buy- and sell-side that need to make confident, accurate trading and hedging decisions.

“We’d like to thank our clients across the world for their continued support and for the insightful feedback and input they provide, allowing us to continually update and improve the service we offer.”
