BMLL wins “Best Analytics Data Provider” at the Data Management Insight Awards USA 2026

London / New York, 18 September 2026: We are delighted to announce that BMLL won ‘Best Analytics Data Provider’ at the Data Management Insight Awards USA 2026.

These awards recognise vendors providing leading data management solutions, services and consultancy to capital markets participants across North America.

BMLL has spent the last 12 months working intensely with capital market participants to drive global data and analytics innovation. This follows its acquisition by Nordic Capital in October 2025, which is accelerating the company's next phase of global growth.

• By collaborating closely with the industry, BMLL has developed pioneering datasets that combine high-fidelity, historical market data with sophisticated third-party data and analytics to launch entirely new ways to benchmark and optimise trading strategies, manage risk, and navigate a rapidly evolving market microstructure.
• Through its pioneering 'BMLL Activate - Data Credits Programme', BMLL empowers innovators to build, test, validate and launch new analytics or data-driven products using BMLL's historical Level 3, 2, and 1 market data with low to zero upfront licensing costs.
• In September 2025, BMLL launched Trades Plus, an industry-first dataset developed in close consultation with its Client Product Advisory Board (CPAB). Trades Plus completely removes this operational burden of data engineering by combining granular historical trade data with BMLL's Level 3 insights, proprietary trade classifications, Level 1 quotes, and custom flags in a single feed. 

BMLL is deeply trusted by both the largest, most sophisticated trading firms and capital market innovators looking to bring new products to market. 

Paul Humphrey, Chief Executive Officer of BMLL, said: “Winning ‘Best Analytics Data Provider’ at the Data Management Insight Awards USA 2026 reflects the strong momentum we are seeing as our client base grows and our global coverage continues to expand. We will continue to expand our collaborative product innovation to ensure that the benefits of high-fidelity, harmonised historical data are realised across the entire capital markets ecosystem.”
