Bloomberg Financial Solutions department of 5,000+ employees is at the forefront of ensuring success for our customers and employees alike. Our team comprises several key pillars: sales, service, operations, culture and brand. As a department, we are united by a common goal: We create meaningful relationships with clients by understanding their needs and delivering exceptional end-to-end support from sales and implementation, through their ongoing relationship with Bloomberg.

We are Bloomberg Enterprise Data - fast paced, innovative and fast-growing. We have worked hard and smart to become the $2.5B business we are today. We collaborate closely with our clients, taking the time to understand their unique businesses while focusing on specific data and technology needs. We have an endless selection of data sets covering all asset types. We have multiple delivery technologies. This allows our clients to get exactly the data they need, when they need it, in the format they prefer.

Out of the millions of securities that exist, most are thinly traded and difficult to price. Historically, subjective broker quotes were sufficient to demonstrate liquidity, and justify valuation. Today's market participants and firms understand the need for rigor and transparency when establishing fair and independent asset valuations, assessing liquidity and meeting heightened regulatory requirements. When front, middle and back office functions all work with the same information, the entire enterprise benefits. Bloomberg's Enterprise Risk & Valuation services deliver that consistency! From our high-quality evaluated pricing data for fixed income and derivatives (BVAL), to innovative predictive analytics and liquidity management solutions (LQA), Bloomberg demonstrates a commitment to partnering with our clients.

Traders have the familiarity of terminal functionality. Risk committees will appreciate Bloomberg's ability to help identify, measure, and manage uncertainty particularly during volatile conditions. Accounting teams can expect defensible pricing with insight into the market data inputs used. And senior executives will obtain a greater sense of control over their risk through the transparency Bloomberg solutions provide.
