Our associations are committed to supporting the transition to a more sustainable economy and
to tackling climate change that we consider a priority. We strongly support the EU objective of
transforming Europe into the first climate-neutral continent in the world by 2050 and are ready
to contribute as representatives of the financial sector.
Data
In the modern economy, data is increasingly becoming a strategic asset. This is particularly true for the asset management industry, where data forms the backbone of the daily activities and internal processes necessary to guarantee best practices in portfolio management.
Asset managers are major users of a variety of data, including market data, index data and, increasingly, ESG data. EFAMA advocates for, and seeks to support members’ access to, high-quality, standardised and comparable data at a fair price. EFAMA also encourages the creation of a well-structured, reasonably priced consolidated tape fed by all trading venues and systematic internalisers for all financial instruments.

Reasonable Market Data Costs Benefits the Real Economy
The fundamental function of a trading venue is to match buyers and sellers of securities at a price that balances supply and demand through transparent rules and processes. The sale of market data is a related but separate by-product of that primary function.
