FID explanation for JGBs

rbanerjee

Take a look at the following RICs JP00170054=RRPS OR JP00180054=RRPS . We used to get the benchmark on the LINKLINK1 FID. The format of the LONGLINK1 getting published has changed and we dont have permissions anymore. What other FIDs can give us the benchmark? Also what do the LONGLINK1 , LONGLINK2 and LONGLINK3 FIDs publish for these Japanese government bonds.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

LONGLINKxx fields are typically used with chain RICs, which contain a list of their constituent RICs.

For example, 0#.SETI is a chain RIC for SET INDEX.

The LONGLINK1 to LONGLINK14 fields contain RICs in SET INDEX.

The application need to subscribe to RICs in the LONGLINK1 to LONGLINK14 fields to get the data of those RICs. For more information, please refer to this Retrieve underlying Instrument of Chain Symbol article.

If you don’t have permission to access RICs in the LONGLINK1 to LONGLINK14 fields, please reach out to your LSEG account or sales team to verify your account’s access rights.

Thank you @Jirapongse ,

That might be typically the case for the LONGLINK based FIDs. However in this case the Japanese government bond in itself is not a chain. Thats why we need explanation on what the exchange thinks its publishing.
