Chasing perfection in
everything we do.
Our Mission is to provide the most accurate and
reliable data humanly possible.
At Swaps Monitor, we love a difficult challenge. Fascinated by the financial markets, we began investigating the complexities of interest rate swaps in 1987. Our biweekly newsletter, Swaps Monitor, was the first trade publication to specialize in this market and covered every aspect of the industry, from trading strategies and product innovations to accounting and capital requirements.
Since 1992, we have dedicated ourselves to mastering the mechanics and dynamics of calendars, and eventually we phased out the newsletter. Over time, we’ve enhanced our offerings and grown our team. From a niche publication to a suite of digital products, from a single office to a global enterprise.
While the size and scope of our business have changed, our standards have not. We continue to vigilantly source and verify our data and offer around-the-clock customer support. Today, Swaps Monitor is the world’s most reliable reference for information about market holidays, trading hours, expiry dates, time zones, and economic events.
