CanDeal DNA and FTSE Russell have extended our partnership with a 10-year agreement to continue using CanDeal DNA’s best-in-class pricing for FTSE Canada Fixed Income Indices — and that’s just the beginning!

Our partnership is bringing a greater level of pricing precision and insight to investors in Canada’s fixed income indices. Our collaboration includes:

• Extended use of CanDeal DNA pricing for FTSE Canada Fixed Income Indices: Since May 2022, CanDeal DNA has been the trusted source for reference pricing for the FTSE Canada Bond Index Series. Our extended partnership means that you can rely on CanDeal’s accurate pricing for 95,000 securities for years to come.
• Expanded pricing coverage via FTSE FastQuote Plus (FQ+): The new FQ+ files are designed to add transparency and broader coverage to price securities in the Canadian fixed income market. It includes CanDeal DNA’s Composite and Evaluated pricing with multiple snapshots per day and additional data fields.
• Broader scope of CanDeal DNA products via FTSE: The CanDeal DNA Security Master Product underpins our Reference Pricing Services, reflecting its rigorous quality and including new issues details curated through Canada’s banks and dealers. CanDeal DNA TradeMarks is an end-of-day publication of trades in Canadian fixed income securities, validated with distinct transaction characteristics, to provide accurate representation of market activity.
• Co-development of CanDeal FTSE Analytics: We look forward to creating a modernized Canadian-centric fixed income analytics solution, fully integrated with FTSE Canada Indices, to replace FTSE’s PC Bond.

“Our deeper collaboration with CanDeal ensures the FTSE Canada index ecosystem remains underpinned by best-in-class pricing and unified reference data and analytics.” – Marina Mets, Head of Americas, Fixed Income at FTSE Russell

Together, we are reinforcing our shared commitment to strengthening Canada’s fixed income market through trusted data, integrated analytics, and continued innovation that meets the evolving needs of institutional investors.
