Ahead of the Curve: SQX Q1 2026 Review
As winter turned to spring, the SQX team was hard at work. Read on to find out what we’ve been up to:
Structured Note Reference Data
As of Q1 2026, SQX now offers structured note reference data! We’ve often heard our clients struggle to find a comprehensive, accurate universe of structured note reference data. That’s why we’ve stepped in to fill this gap. Parsed directly from SEC 424B2 prospectus filings, our structured note reference data universe is the most complete and accurate dataset in the industry that we’ve encountered.
Our coverage spans the major dealers (including BMO, Goldman, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas and more) across autocallables, reverse convertibles, participation, principal-protected, leveraged/inverse, digital, and range accrual structures. Our partners receive the data feed as three clean, ISIN-joined files that cover 60+ fields per note.
By accessing our structured note reference data, firms can discover new possibilities for evaluated prices and analytics. This offering comes as a natural extension of our long-standing
structured note pricing coverage, arriving as we prepare to launch
municipal bond reference data later this year.
SQX Alts Growth
SQX Alts, our alternative investments news site, has begun to realize its potential in the past quarter. In recent months, we’ve expanded our events coverage, upgraded our alts directory, and refreshed our site design. Also, our news and SEC filing coverage now provides insight into investment opportunities in over 1200 non-traded REITS, DPPs, BDCs, commodity pools, interval funds, closed-end funds, tender-offer funds, and operating companies.
In March, our representatives Adam Hammond and Sarah Engel connected with numerous sponsors at the 2026 Factright RIA Due Diligence Conference. The overwhelmingly positive response demonstrated that SQX Alts is able to meet the industry's need for an unbiased and transparent hub for alts news and information. We’ve begun partnering with individual sponsors, and we’re on track to begin publishing featured content in the upcoming weeks.
Keep an eye on SQX Alts as we continue to grow and improve!
Publicly-Issued Alts
Over the past several months, our alternative investments team has created a system to gather pricing and reference data for the full universe of publicly issued, non-publicly-traded alts. Our coverage includes over 1100 non-traded REITS, DPPs, BDCs, commodity pools, interval funds, closed-end funds, tender-offer funds, and operating companies. SQX provides an overview of the security type, (such as interval funds, DPPs, and REITS), as well as a brief summary of the issuer’s business model. We can also provide the most recent SEC-reported price for each share class.
With SQX’s clean, current list, teams can save hours spent gathering this data by hand. Our authoritative, daily-refreshed universe will be available in the coming weeks.
