Cost Optimisation

The Scale of the Challenge

Global expenditure on market data reached a record US$42 billion in 2023 — a 12.4% year-on-year increase. This upward trajectory shows no sign of slowing, driven by rising demand for data analytics, evolving regulatory requirements, and continued technological investment across financial services. For many institutions, market data is now one of the largest line items in the technology budget.

Where We Add Value

At Sprada, we bring a proven track record in helping global and regional financial institutions reduce market data costs without compromising operational effectiveness. Our approach covers the full spectrum of market data expenditure — terminals, data feeds, and distribution systems — and is grounded in deep knowledge of vendor product offerings, pricing models, and negotiation strategies.

We conduct a thorough review of your vendor contracts, pricing structures, and usage patterns to identify savings opportunities. Combined with our long-standing relationships with leading market data providers across the region, this enables us to secure the best possible commercial outcomes on your behalf.

Beyond Cost: Maximising Value

Cutting costs is only half the equation. The cheapest data source is not always the right one. Our focus is on helping you identify the most suitable solution for your specific needs — delivering the best quality at the best available price.

We take a genuinely client-centric approach, evaluating trade-offs between cost and quality and recommending solutions that deliver long-term value rather than short-term savings.
