TraditionDATA, the data and information services division of Compagnie Financière Tradition (Tradition), has added more depth to its alternative data set following Tradition’s execution of its first TONAR-SOFR cross-currency basis swap.

James Watson, Global Head of Sales (Market Data) at Tradition writes that market data has stayed largely unchanged for decades. Compound that with the increasingly complex market environment of today, with uncertainties caused by Brexit and COVID-19, he argues it’s time for a new way of thinking about data.

Tradition is a key intermediary in facilitating transactions in the underlying products that are foundational to calculation of these new alternative reference rates. Using our leading SOFR data in combination with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY), Tradition is now producing a SOFR vs 3month basis swap.

Scott Fitzpatrick, global head of TraditionData, said: "We at Tradition started talking about the Spotify/iTunes model for data two or three years ago as the way we see the data industry evolving and we stand by that view to this day. This model revolutionised music and audio consumption by allowing users to pick what they wanted and creating tailor-made playlists to suit their needs. In a similar manner, the market data industry is shifting towards a far more bespoke method of consumption."
