Abstract: A method for providing market color to enrich information relating to trading data for eligible securitized products under the Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE) platform administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is provided. The method includes: receiving, from the TRACE platform, first information that relates to a trade that has been executed on a market; retrieving, from a second source such as an internal data repository that is proprietary to a financial institution, second information that relates to the trade and/or a participant in the trade; generating a report that includes the first information and the second information; and transmitting the report to a predetermined recipient. Additional information may be obtained via a Securitized Products Dissemination Service (SPDS) platform and/or by using a matching algorithm within TRACE.
