BMLL wins ‘Best Data Visualisation Provider’ at the Data Management Insight Awards Europe 2025

London, 3 December 2025: We are delighted to announce that BMLL has been awarded ‘Best Data Visualisation Provider’ at the Data Management Insight Awards Europe 2025. These awards recognise leading providers of data management solutions, services and consultancy to capital markets participants within Europe.

BMLL was awarded ‘Best Data Visualisation Provider’ for BMLL Vantage, its powerful market microstructure visualisation platform, which enables users to query BMLL’s Level 3 order book data, covering global equities and ETFs.

BMLL Vantage helps users understand market microstructure and liquidity dynamics, carry out venue comparisons and make order routing decisions.

BMLL Vantage users include:

  • Sales traders & market structure specialists - to understand market fragmentation, liquidity profiles and the evolution of different trading mechanisms.

  • Exchange analysts - to understand how their venue compares to peers, analyse market share moves, order resting times and fill probabilities.

  • ETF issuers - to understand how their products compete across different markets.

  • Quant researchers who need to derive valuable insights quickly and efficiently.

Datasets have continuously been added to BMLL’s product suite and are available within BMLL Vantage to offer clients a truly global view of market dynamics and liquidity shifts that impact their trading strategies. BMLL’s historical market data now covers 100+ trading venues, spanning global equities, ETFs, futures and US options and - its equities offering covers 100% of the MSCI World Index.

Paul Humphrey, Chief Executive Officer, BMLL, said: “We are delighted to be recognised as the ‘Best Data Visualisation Provider’ at the Data Management Insight Awards Europe 2025. BMLL Vantage is an out-of-the-box data science and visualisation tool which continues our mission of democratising access to the most granular Level 3 market data and analytics. This has typically been the preserve of only the most sophisticated quantitative firms. BMLL Vantage goes one step further: it provides the quantitative research that previously only quants could do, giving the non-technical user insights that would otherwise require a quant resource”.
