The Purple Issue 16

October 2024

I thought I would be sitting in my hotel room in sunny Naples, Florida, writing this introduction. Instead, I’m looking out on the now chilly streets of New York City. We were all very disappointed to miss the inaugural ISLA Americas conference this year due to Hurricane Milton, but hopefully The Purple can bring you all up to speed on revenue and trends in our market. Revenue across every region was down relative to Q3 2023. The pages ahead will dive into why.

September 9 was a big day for the Data & Analytics team at EquiLend – and for our clients! We launched DataLend’s highly anticipated new data visualization platform with new functionality, including greater flexibility and customization. Our Real-Time Data product was also enhanced to include lifecycle events including rerates, returns and recalls. Client feedback so far has been extremely positive. If you haven’t logged in recently, do so today!

Finally, if you are not already signed up, be sure to check out our Orbisa short interest indicators and financing data – now available with a simple click on the Bloomberg App Store!
