- Format
- Tabular feed products: IGM Deals Data delivered through an enterprise RESTful API (real-time plus 30+ year history), and IGM Direct pushing real-time and historical deal data into desktop and everyday tools with automatic updates every minute.
- Volume
- Order of 10,000-20,000 tracked issuances per year across IG, HY, structured finance and EM in US/EMEA/APAC, each carrying 130+ verified fields plus stage-level timestamps — i.e. millions of curated field-values per year — sitting on a 30+ year archive spanning 140+ countries. Structured as one of the longest continuous primary-market deal archives in the market.
- Users
- ~3,000-10,000 institutional seats across the IGM product family (inferred: subscription platform inside a 2,600-person information-services division with enterprise API, desktop and Excel-addin delivery sold to syndicate desks, credit funds and issuers).

- Growth
- Active — the data line is being actively productised into API and desktop add-in tiers (IGM Deals Data, IGM Direct) alongside IGM Credit, IGM Premium Credit (deeper historical analytics) and IGM Rates Market, indicating ongoing module expansion rather than a legacy feed.
- Launched
- ~mid-1980s-1990s lineage (inferred: IGM sits on the Informa Global Markets / International Financing Review debt-capital-markets franchise, and the product explicitly carries 30+ years of historical activity, which places the archive start no later than the early 1990s). The API-delivered IGM Data product is a later 2015-2020 productisation of that archive.
