Securities Finance: Short Interest Data

The Securities Finance: Short Interest dataset, originated from IHS Markit, provides insights on more than $39 trillion of global securities in the lending programs of over 20,000 institutional funds, along with 3 million daily transactions, and history dating back to 2002. This dataset provides holistic transparency into the securities lending market and short interest dynamics. Data is sourced directly from industry participants, including Custodian Banks, Prime Brokers and Hedge Funds.

Leverage this dataset to analyze long and short fund flow activity supporting investment decision making, identify portfolio exposure to both downward price reversals and short squeezes, and gain a holistic view on Short Interest. Utilize this dataset to understand the availability of borrow and the concentration of supply, combine securities lending flow with public short interest data, and aggregate short interest across the capital structure.
