Apex Group picks Bloomberg for corporate action data and FX portfolio reporting
“Doing business in a complex global marketplace and complying with various local regulations require firms to have access to efficient systems and workflows.”
Apex Group has selected Bloomberg’s Data License solution to provide reference, pricing, and corporate actions data for equities and fixed income.
The implementation has been carried out by Apex Group’s Global Operations and Technology team based out of India.
Apex Group selected Bloomberg’s Data License and BFIX
Apex Group will be able to use Bloomberg’s data sets predominantly for its Fund Administration business, which manages fund and portfolio accounting for various global funds.
The firm has recently made several strategic acquisitions, and the firm-wide consolidation to using primarily Bloomberg’s data sets will ensure that the entire group will have access to the same data going forward, according to Apex.
Bloomberg’s data sets enable independent calculation of Net Asset Values (NAVs) of a Fund’s portfolio, which is a key regulatory requirement in most markets. They also simplify and support pre-trade compliance with local regulations, as well as portfolio and counterparty risk monitoring.
In addition, Apex Group has selected Bloomberg’s BFIX, the regulated benchmark covering a wide array of FX instruments that offers a comprehensive coverage of global currencies, for multi-currency portfolio reporting.
