Survey results from an asset manager forum show many firms spend over $100 million a year on market data, with costs rising 10–25% annually. Despite that spend, firms still run more than 1,000 independent quality checks on the data they buy. This session presents the benchmark and the case for a more collaborative model with data providers.

• Benchmark your market data spend and cost growth against peers
• Reduce duplicated quality checks on vendor-supplied data
• Build a more accountable, collaborative relationship with data providers
