Transaction Data Partners
Front-office teams have multiple sources of pricing information that they see in real-time throughout the day. However, much of that data washes straight though the system and is not collected in a way which allows the back / middle office functions to gain access. As such the valuation control teams are at a disadvantage when discussing their IPV results with the front-office, through a lack of access to the same information. This disparity in the information flow regularly makes the discussions around the IPV results painful and time consuming.
In response to this, and to assist with regulatory conversations, Skylight is helping IPV teams by collecting supporting information from multiple sources and providing it in one consistent format that is quickly and easily accessible. Skylight is therefore partnering with a number of third-party data vendors in order to bring together complementary data sets to provide an unprecedented level of transparency into the IPV process. Our partners are listed below.
