Security Coding: Security Reference File

Inaccurate, inconsistent or incomplete reference data, held within a company's Securities Reference File, is widely accepted as being the biggest single cause of settlement failures. This single issue requires substantial investment to ensure consistency.

Exchange Data International offers key services that can provide a proven benefit to clients.

These services allow our clients to receive all new equities and fixed income instrument traded on exchanges worldwide, to drive Reference File changes through Corporate Action announcements, or to have EDI validate a firms existing Reference File.

The Security Reference File (SRF) service provides up-to-date information on over 886,000 securities, including all equities, warrants and fixed income instruments and many other types of securities currently traded on all exchanges worldwide.

The feed comprises over 40 fields including ISIN, Ticker, Country of Register, Security Class, Issuer Name, Currency, Listing date, Country of Incorporate etc. The SRF has grown into a comprehensive global database, which enables EDI to identify the majority of listed securities along with the associated standing data.
