Markit Pricing Data

Markit provides pricing data coverage across bonds, CDS and loans, as well as equity volatility data and securities lending data for stocks and bonds. We offer full transparency into our valuations methodology and inputs, and rigorous cleaning algorithms are applied to help ensure consistent quality.

Bonds Markit provides independent pricing, transparency and liquidity data on bonds, including corporate and sovereign securities, municipal bonds, cash CLOs and European and US securitised products. We use price inputs from a variety of sources that are either aggregated to calculate composite levels or fed into a dynamic model to produce a price validated against a number of parameters. We provide full transparency on the depth of price sources used, a liquidity score reflecting the frequency and breadth of pricing and comprehensive analytics.

CDS Markit offers live, snapped and end-of-day price updates for approximately 2,600 CDS entities, credit options and the major credit indices, CDX and iTraxx. We provide CDS composite and contributor level data. Our CDS pricing service is driven by CDS data from marketmakers’ official books of records, live quotes and clearing submissions and results. We also deliver a suite of value-added CDS services, such as sensitivity metrics, to provide greater transparency into the marketplace.

Loans Markit provides independent bid-offer pricing and liquidity measures for more than 6,400 leveraged loan facilities globally. Our contributor-based pricing system and parsing technology provides loan market investors with a dataset they can depend on. We also offer liquidity metrics, such as the number of dealers quoting as well as the size and average size quoted. Over ten years of price history enables customers to generate and back test trade ideas.

Equity Volatility Data Markit provides an independent source of daily equity volatility information, including implied volatilities, forwards and discount factors out to a maximum of 10 years for equity indices and five years for single stocks. The strike range runs from 50% to 150% for each maturity, and contributor depth is shown for each tenor and strike for transparency. The composite volatility curves are produced based on the closing option prices from major sellside institutions.

Securities Finance Markit provides global securities lending data for more than $15 trillion of global securities in the lending programmes of more than 20,000 institutional funds. It includes more than ten years of history with over 3 million intraday transactions.

Fair Value Markit provides independent calculations to estimate the value of stocks and bonds outside of active trading hours. Fair value snap times include the close of major markets worldwide, as well as custom snap times tailored to client requirements. Calculations are based on the correlation between individual security prices and more than 30 market, regional, sector and entity-specific factors, and pricing models are calibrated daily.
