Bloomberg Finance agreed to pay a $5 million fine for alleged misleading disclosures it made about how it calculated the valuations it provided on fixed-income securities to the financial services industry.
From at least 2016 to October 2022, Bloomberg failed to disclose valuations offered through its paid subscription service, BVAL, could be affected by a single data input, such as a broker quote, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said Monday in a press release.
Bloomberg disclosed to its BVAL customers “that its independent valuations of fixed income securities are derived by using proprietary algorithmic methodologies,” the SEC said in its order, and described those methodologies in detail.
