International Symbol Symbology

This document describes how international (non-US) equity symbols are constructed to prevent symbology collisions across global markets.

Overview

Many exchanges use the same local ticker for different issuers. For example, CFR may refer to different companies depending on the listing venue. To uniquely identify a security across markets, we append an exchange suffix to the local ticker.

US securities use the local ticker only (e.g. AAPL).

International securities use the format:

{local_ticker}-{exchange_code}

The delimiter is a hyphen (-). The exchange code is a 2-character (sometimes alphanumeric) Bloomberg Exchange Code that identifies the listing venue.

This is not an ISO standard. It should not be confused with:

Identifier	Example (London)	Notes
MIC (ISO 10383)	`XLON`	4-character market identifier from EDI refdata
Refinitiv exchange code	`LON`	Used in `fref_exchange_code` in our reference table
