Iress's QuantHouse division, which provides API data feeds to hedge funds and other asset managers, has entered into a global partnership with BMLL, a independent provider of harmonised Level 1, 2 & 3 historical data and analytics for the global equity and futures markets.

The partnership follows the completion of the data symbology mapping for both QuantHouse real-time data services and BMLL's historical order book data sets. According to a press release, the joint offering aims to support the buy-side community and will accelerate time to insights and time to market, enabling asset managers and hedge funds to backtest trading strategies and move from research into production at speed.
