Certificate master data for more context! Professional certificate master files go far beyond ISIN<\/span>, product name and issuer. Only additional product features and calculated key figures such as lever, delta<\/span>, omega, plus or sideward yield allow banks, broker<\/span>s and financial portals to selectively filter, compare and use structured products in digital financial applications.<\/p>

ARIVA is a specialized provider forCertificate master data and certificate key figures in Germany and the DACH region<\/strong>. With an extensive data base, detailed product classification and continuously calculated key figures, ARIVA creates the data base for professional applications around structured products.<\/p>

What are certificate master files?<\/strong><\/h2>

Certificate master data describe the essential properties of a structured product. These include basic information such as ISIN<\/span>, product name and issuer, as well as numerous other features relevant to the classification and processing of a certificate. Certificate master data for more context!<\/p>

For certificates can be found inBasic value, product type, duration<\/span><\/span>, currency, payout structure, barriers or caps<\/strong>differ.<\/p>

The larger the product universe becomes, the more important is therefore a consistent and detailed data structure. Only in this way banks, broker<\/span>s, stock exchanges and financial portals can reliably represent, categorize, filter and compare products.<\/p>

Why are ISIN<\/span>, name and issuer not enough?<\/strong><\/h2>

This is not enough for many digital applications.<\/p>

If, for example, a product search is to display suitable certificates for a specific base value, a screener filter products by properties or compare different certificates with one another, additional data is required.<\/p>

This is precisely where the difference between the mere identification of a securities and oneusable data base for financial applications<\/strong>.<\/p>

The DO is:Enrich certificate master data with relevant product information and key figures.<\/strong><\/p>

The DON’T:are limit<\/span>ed to ISIN<\/span>, name and issuer for complex structured products.<\/strong><\/p>

Certificate metrics create the decisive context<\/strong><\/h2>

Master data describe a product.Certificate metrics help to classify their properties and compare them with other products.<\/strong><\/p>

Depending on the product type, ARIVA provides key figures such aslever, omega, delta<\/span>, plush and sideward yield<\/strong>ready.<\/p>

These key figures can be used, for example, for product searches, filters, rankings, risk analyses and data-based market overviews. Especially in the case of large product universes, they make it possible to filter out from a variety of structured products those that match defined criteria.<\/p>
