Fixed Income: 

EDI is in the process of developing a Fixed Income Corporate Action Service. The service follows corporate action events on over 200,000 bonds from 100 countries and Supranationals. In addition to interest payments (both fixed and floating) the service covers another 40 event types divided into three broad types namely Static Data, Static Data Changes and Securities Exchange Events. The data is sourced from stock exchanges, central banks, ministries of finance, paying and transfer agents.

The service will be delivered both via FTP as well as through a web interface. The feed can be taken as a tab delimited file, and in the future will support the emerging ISO15022 format when the vendor market practises are finalised.

Exchange Data International will be launching a fixed income corporate action service during 2008. to receive updates.
