5
Baltic exchanges and Nasdaq First North. In addition, seven
companies upgraded their listings from Nasdaq First North to
the Nordic and Baltic exchanges.
Our Listing Services business also includes NPM, which
provides services for private companies.
Information Services
Our Information Services segment includes our Data Products
and our Index Licensing and Services businesses.
Data Products
Our Data Products business sells and distributes historical and
real-time quote and trade information to market participants
and data distributors. Our data products enhance transparency
of the market activity within the exchanges that we operate and
provide
critical
information
to
professional
and
nonprofessional investors globally.
We collect, process and create information and earn revenues
as a distributor of our own, as well as select, third-party content.
We provide varying levels of quote and trade information to
market participants and to data distributors, who in turn provide
subscriptions for this information. Our systems enable
distributors to gain access to our market depth, index values,
mutual fund valuation, order imbalances, market sentiment and
other analytical data.
We distribute this proprietary market information to both
market participants and non-participants through a number of
proprietary products, including Nasdaq TotalView, our flagship
market depth quote product. TotalView shows subscribers
quotes, orders and total anonymous interest at every price level
in The Nasdaq Stock Market for Nasdaq-listed securities and
critical data for the opening, closing, halt and IPO crosses. We
also offer TotalView products for our Nasdaq BX, Nasdaq PSX,
Nasdaq Fixed Income and Nordic markets.
We operate several other proprietary services and data products
to provide market information, including Nasdaq Basic, a low
cost alternative to the industry Level 1 feed, Ultrafeed, a
normalized high speed, consolidated data feed offering, and
DWA’s web-based advisor tools. We also provide options,
futures, commodities, U.S. Treasury, indexes and mutual fund
data.
Our Data Products business also includes revenues from U.S.
tape plans. The Nasdaq Stock Market acts as the processor and
administrator for the UTP Plan. The UTP Plan administrator
sells quotation and last sale information for all transactions in
Nasdaq-listed securities, whether traded on The Nasdaq Stock
Market or other exchanges, to market participants and to data
distributors, who then provide the information to subscribers.
After deducting costs, as permitted under the revenue sharing
provision of the UTP Plan, the UTP Plan administrator
distributes the tape revenues to the respective UTP Plan
participants, including The Nasdaq Stock Market, Nasdaq BX
and Nasdaq PSX, based on a formula required by Regulation
NMS that takes into account both trading and quoting activity.
In addition, much like Nasdaq-listed securities, all quotes and
trades in NYSE- and NYSE MKT-listed securities are reported
and disseminated in real-time, and as such, we share in the tape
revenues for information on NYSE- and NYSE MKT-listed
securities.
The Nasdaq Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic exchanges, as well as
Nasdaq Commodities, also offer data products and services.
These data products and services provide critical market
transparency to professional and non-professional investors
who participate in European marketplaces and, at the same time,
give investors greater insight into these markets.
Much like the U.S. products, European data products and
services are based on trading information from the Nasdaq
Nordic and Nasdaq Baltic exchanges, as well as Nasdaq
Commodities, for the following classes of assets: cash equities,
bonds, derivatives and commodities. We provide varying levels
of quote and trade information to market participants and to
data distributors, who in turn provide subscriptions for this
information.
In addition, the ISE options exchanges and Nasdaq CXC have
data businesses that Information Services now manages and
distributes.
Significant European data products include Nordic Equity
TotalView, Nordic Derivative TotalView, and Nordic Fixed
Income TotalView, Level 2, Analytics and Fixings.
Finally, we provide index data products based on Nasdaq
indexes. Index data products include our Global Index Data
Service, which delivers real-time index values throughout the
trading day, and Global Index Watch/Global Index File
Delivery Service, which delivers weightings and components
data, corporate actions and a breadth of additional data.
Index Licensing and Services
Our Index Licensing and Services business is a leading index
provider that develops and licenses Nasdaq branded indexes,
associated derivatives and financial products. We also provide
custom calculation services for third-party clients. License fees
for our trademark licenses vary by product based on a
percentage of underlying assets, dollar value of a product
issuance, number of products or number of contracts traded.
We also license cash-settled options, futures and options on
futures on our indexes.
As of December 31, 2016, we had 298 ETPs licensed to
Nasdaq’s indexes which had over $124 billion of assets under
management. Our flagship index, the Nasdaq-100 Index,
includes the top 100 non-financial securities listed on The
Nasdaq Stock Market.
We also operate the Nasdaq Global Index Family, which
includes more than 40,000 indexes. The Nasdaq Global Index
Family represents more than 98% of the global equity investable
marketplace. The family consists of global securities broken
down by market segment, region, country, size and sector. The
Nasdaq Global Index Family covers 45 countries and
approximately 9,000 securities.
