Insignis, Inc.

Since 1985, Insignis has been developing steadily improving technology for collecting and aggregating financial data. Unlike many financial data firms, our organizational "roots" are in the collection of data on complex derivatives, including exchange-traded futures and options on futures, OTC swaps and swaptions, as well as foreign-exchange spot and forward contracts. As a consequence of this history, both our technology and our staff have been built with an understanding of the full range of financial instruments.

Our network of clients and data providers extends throughout the financial services industry, including:

• investment consultants on whose behalf Insignis collects data on over $1.2T in assets
• over forty (40) investment managers trading derivatives (both as clients and data providers)
• the top eight futures brokers (FCM's)
• a top-three private pension plan
• a top-three public pension plan
• leading third-party application providers whose products address such analytics as performance, attribution, and trade-cost analysis.

Insignis is located in Chicago, in the heart of the financial district.

Technical Infrastructure

Our production services are operated from a world-class hosted technology center. This data and operations center offers an environmentally controlled computing-facility with automated detection of physical and/or electronic intrusion, redundant connections to the internet, redundant connections to the power grid, backup power generation, as well as the capability to be operated remotely should the main office of Insignis be unavailable. The host is a Tier-1 global network provider and the facility is SAS-70 certified.

In addition, to support our employees (as well as our clients), Insignis offers outstanding computational capabilities here in our main offices. These state-of-the-art facilities support Insignis' development and QA activities, as well as providing the infrastructure for our collaborative work environment.
