CMG Partners with BNP Paribas to Strengthen European Expansion | Read the Announcement
CMG DataLab delivers real-time deal launches, amendments and pricing updates. Portfolio managers and analysts can review full deal terms, benchmark against historical comps and assess participation in the same session a deal is launched, removing the lag that causes firms to miss windows or act with incomplete information.
The enhanced DataLab Calendar surfaces live offering details across 50+ covered regions, and the DataLab mobile app (iOS) keeps deal data accessible outside the desk. F
Yes. CMG XC enables buy-side firms with a verified underwriter relationship to submit IOIs directly through the platform and receive allocations electronically via STP integration with their OMS and via the web app. Buy-side participants can view their allocations within the platform once released by the underwriters. This removes manual processes, reduces back-and-forth with syndicate desks and creates a record of participation activity across offerings. The platform alerts buy-side users to any outstanding compliance requirements before submission, so teams are not caught off-guard during a live deal.
CMG surfaces compliance requirements directly within the order workflow so buy-side teams can resolve them without leaving the platform. Supported certificate types include FINRA Rules 5130 and 5131, Rule 144A QIB and Regulation S. The platform restricts IOI submission if a required certificate is not on file or has expired, and new certificates can be procured via a DocuSign e-signature workflow initiated directly from the platform.
Block trades, follow-ons, lock-up expirations and secondary sell-downs introduce supply-driven price movements that traditional corporate action feeds often miss or reflect weeks after the fact. By the time shares outstanding updates appear in a 10-Q, market prices have already adjusted. CMG delivers real-time ECM intelligence across registered and unregistered transactions, allowing investors to model equity supply as it happens. The structured historical dataset covers 38,000+ transactions over 20+ years across 50+ regions, with 200+ data points per deal. The Real-Time Feed (GraphQL API) allows quant and data teams to extract specific fields for model integration.

The Real-Time Feed (GraphQL API) allows quant and data teams to extract specific fields for model integration, supporting live updates to shares outstanding and supply impact as deals occur. The DataLab Excel Add-In supports analysts who prefer to work within existing spreadsheet workflows, with access to 400+ offering-specific fields without requiring API development.
My DataLab gives buy-side firms a dedicated module for firmwide ECM participation tracking and broker relationship analysis. They can track designation activity, allocation histories and underwriter economics at the deal level across 38,000+ historical transactions. Firms can assess broker performance over time, compare allocation outcomes across syndicates and make more informed participation decisions. Is CMG used by the largest institutional buy-side firms?
Yes. CMG is used daily by 135+ buy-side firms representing $40T+ in AUM, including 9 of the top asset managers. For many of these firms, DataLab functions as the operational system of record for ECM tracking, evaluation and reporting.
