EDI Looks to Emerging Markets in Bid to Become Fully Fledged Data Vendor

LONDON - Exchange Data International (EDS) is planning to roll out more product launches later this year in a bid to become recognized as "a fully fledged data vendor," says managing director Jonathan Bloch.

The launches will include products that provide closing price data and fixed-income corporate actions data, which will follow the release of an IPO
