NFN facilitates the collection and dissemination of performance, Net Asset Value (NAV), valuation, and strategy-level reference data for over 35,000 products to 100 million+ investors.

Step 1

Asset managers and issuers register their products with NFN and in turn, NFN provides the issuer with a searchable symbol.

Step 2

NFN disseminates the data, making it searchable on hundreds of vendor platforms, creating one of the largest distribution channels in financial services.

Step 3

Asset managers and issuers benefit through the additional distribution to and accessibility of products by their targeted investors.

Step 4

Individual Investors benefit by being able to compare and contrast a wide-range of fund-level data sets across hundreds of web and brokerage platforms.

As one of Nasdaq’s longest-standing products and services, the Nasdaq Fund Network was originally launched in 1984 under the name ‘Mutual Fund Quotation Service’ where it gained success as the sole venue in the U.S. To provide searchable symbols for mutual funds.

Today, NFN has expanded to bring more awareness and transparency to several other asset classes. It has been instrumental in helping product issuers gain popularity with investors in a transparent manner.
