Short Interest and Securities Finance Data

Find Value. Fix Costs. Manage Risk.

Portfolio managers, risk managers, analysts and traders need to track short positioning across portfolios in real time. Traditional risk factor models are not able to monitor near term portfolio stability. Exchange-reported data is delayed, securities lending markets are opaque, and crowding dynamics shift quickly. Without transparency, firms risk being blindsided by squeezes, forced unwinds, or liquidity traps.
