Distribution Spat Between FTSE, Barra Remains Unsolved

Subscribe to our newsletter

It appears that discussions have been ongoing between the two parties, but FTSE insists that no proper discussions have taken place regarding plans to discontinue the distribution agreement. As such FTSE does not intend to make any preparations to discontinue its supply of data via Barra. We’re waiting to see what happens on this one.
