Q2 was a big quarter for SQX—the biggest we’ve had in a while. Read on to hear more about our exciting new updates…

New Product: Asset-Backed Securities

As of Q2, SQX now offers pricing for a wide range of asset-backed securities! We’ve built our name on securities like muni and corporate bonds, so we’re particularly delighted to expand our fixed-income coverage. The new asset classes we provide include Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS), Asset-Backed Securities (ABS), Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS), Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO), Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO), Non-Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO), Syndicated Bank Loans, and “Green” Bonds.

For all asset-backed securities, we offer daily-calculated prices, though we also deliver intraday valuations for more liquid bonds. As with all SQX products, our asset-backed securities come with top-tier customer service.

Added New Yield Curves

While we previously covered global, corporate, and municipal yield curves, SQX now proudly offers Quoted Swap Curves, Swap-Implied Curves, FX Forward Curves, and Credit Default Swap Curves! Each of these new types of yield curves features information sourced from around the country and around the world.

We deliver intraday updates for each type of yield curve (except CDS curves, which receive daily updates). For all our yield curves, we customize solutions to your needs and will always give you friendly, responsive customer service.

New Product: Volatilities

As if new asset-backed securities and yield curves weren’t enough, we also began offering volatilities in Q2! Our coverage includes FX Option Volatilities and Swaption Volatilities. For FX option volatilities, we supply daily volatility surfaces, including skew, across 30 global currencies and precious metals. Our swaption volatility data features daily normalized volatility cubes for interest rate swaptions (including skew) across many popular global currencies. As with all SQX products, our volatility data comes at an affordable cost.

If any of our new products intrigue you, please contact SQX for more information.

Improved our Alternative Investments Process

Continuous Improvement is one of our core SQX values. Lately, we’ve been working to make our alternative investments process better and more efficient than ever before! We’ve automated our systems that create data files and input information into our database, allowing alts prices to be seamlessly recorded and transferred to our clients.

SQX covers the full universe of alternative investments, including privately-issued securities. We provide daily price updates in a single streamlined alts file, alongside issuer-quoted information related to FINRA 2231(c).

Streamlined our Muni Bond Pricing

In Q2, our municipal bond pricing grew more efficient than ever before. We’ve taken steps to streamline and refine our municipal bond offering, which includes around 1,000,000 muni bonds. We deliver a daily-updated muni bond file, which is delivered via SFTP or API. Our prices are fully compliant, based on the prevailing market price hierarchy, as outlined in MSRB Rule G-30.
