CUSIP Global Services Expands Availability and Functionality of Reference Data with Launch of CUSIP Access

CUSIP Global Services today announced the launch of the CUSIP Access premium-level service with expanded availability of data and new functionality for clients who require more advanced options for managing reference data. The enhancements include the ability to download CUSIP data directly into a spreadsheet and see scrolling real-time alerts of new CUSIP issuances.

Global financial market participants have used CUSIP Access as a reference data verification tool for more than 10 years. CUSIP Access is a Web-based service that can access the entire universe of CUSIP numbers, including Corporate, Municipal, Government, Mortgage-Backed and Private Placement issuers.

“Institutional investors who need to import CUSIP data into their own data management systems can now access additional data sets and enhanced search functionality through the CUSIP Access premium-level service,” says Maria Latorraca, Product Director for CUSIP Global Services. “Making reference data easy to obtain and manage for our clients has always been one of our top goals.”

- Portfolio Download allows subscribing clients to download CUSIP data for up to 25 CUSIP numbers or ISINs from an external source
- CUSIP NOW includes scrolling real-time alerts of new CUSIP issuances (for real time clients)
- Issue-level Searches allows subscribing clients to search by issue description or update date values
- 144A Linkage displays identifiers for a 144A deal and links to related issues from the same private placement offering document (Accredited Investor, Reg. S and Registered identifiers)

Additional subscription services are also available through CUSIP Access’ new premium-level service including Associated Obligor, which assists in identifying complex relationships by linking entities ultimately responsible for debt service payments in the municipal market and Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), which enables searching for the industry groupings of an individual entity or viewing all entities within an industry group. Future enhancements to this premium-level service will include the availability of loan CUSIPs.
