Viewer Allowances in TRACE - FINRA

May 23, 2013

[ by Howard Haykin ]

FINRA reminds firms that access to CUSIP identifiers in the TRACE Daily List and TRACE Security Scan functions available on the FINRA TRACE secure website is regulated by terms stipulated by CUSIP Global Services.
 
Viewer Allowances.   The TRACE Daily List and TRACE Security Scan functions allow a user to view securities within the TRACE system, and to download the information. Users can filter a request to view a specific subset of securities or can choose to view all securities presently in the system. One of the specific data elements contained in the displayed information is the security CUSIP identifier.

All TRACE users have the ability to view individual CUSIP identifiers in the Security Scan and Daily List functions in TRACE.

  • However, firms who want access to the download (CSV export) capability of CUSIP identifiers through TRACE must have a valid license with CUSIP Global Services.
  • Firms that do not have a valid CUSIP license can export all other information from those screens, except the CUSIP identifier.

FINRA grants permission to firms to download CUSIP identifiers in TRACE based on the information the firm provides to FINRA Market Operations about the status of its CUSIP license. CUSIP licenses are not negotiated with FINRA but directly with CUSIP Global Services.

FINRA Contacts.   Direct questions re: your TRACE permissions to FINRA Market Ops at (877) 776-0800.
