About us

About us

FCI is a privately-owned company. Its associates and partners have held prominent positions in the European financial industry, which led them to take on the challenges of creating a new European financial services company.

Since our early R&D work, FCI has demonstrated its ability to provide a suitable like-for-like offering that can be substituted for that of the major index providers.

Because choosing an index is a responsible choice, and there's a right price for everything, including market data, you too can start using our indices and make a difference.

The sovereignty of financial market data that our institutions have been calling for is within reach. This alternative offer, long awaited by the market, is here. Now it's up to the market to adopt it and write the next chapter.

The FCI team will be delighted to write it with you.
