THE KYNEX DATA MOAT
Why Kynex data is different from every competitor's data
Every convertible bond analytics platform offers data. Kynex is the only one where the market feeds its pricing in. Kynex valuations become the opening traded price for convertible securities — particularly in the U.S. market. This is not a managed data service. It is the market consensus. Competitors deliver curated data feeds. Kynex is the reference the market prices off.
Kynex's proprietary database consolidates and structures historical convertible bond terms, updated with pre-market term sheets, corrections, and evolving details. Any time a transaction is announced, it is on Kynex. Clients get the details before the market opens.
