A Bloomberg Alternative, Built for Luxury Alternative Assets
Bloomberg set the standard for institutional market data in public markets. ALT/FNDATA applies that same standard to a market the terminal does not cover: the luxury collectibles that trade at auction and privately.
Bloomberg and ALT/FNDATA, side by side
Bloomberg is the terminal for global public markets, serving equities, fixed income, commodities, foreign exchange, and macro data. ALT/FNDATA brings the same depth of data and monitoring to luxury watches, fine art, classic cars, jewelry and gems, designer handbags, wine and spirits, motorcycles, and aircraft. The two cover different worlds; this is how they compare.
