FIGI in Bloomberg Barclays Series-L Index Feeds

Availability of Financial Instrument Global Identifier (FIGI) in Bloomberg Barclays Series-L Index Feeds

POSTED Tue Sep 12, 2017

Effective September 25, 2017, Financial Instrument Global Identifiers (FIGI) will be available for inclusion in certain bond-level feeds1 for Bloomberg Barclays Series-L Indices. Users may also choose to replace current fee-based identifiers with FIGIs.


The Financial Instrument Global Identifier (FIGI) is an established global specification issued by the Object Management Group (OMG.org, an international, non-profit standards organization). FIGI is issued and distributed by Bloomberg LP as a Certified Provider and Registration Authority. FIGI is a 12 character, alphanumeric, semantically meaningless ID which covers hundreds of millions of active and inactive financial instruments. FIGI identifiers are available free of charge with no restrictions on use or redistribution.

Please contact your regional index team or reach out to indexhelp@bloomberg.net, if you would like to consider using FIGIs in your index feeds.
