NEW YORK, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Reuters has expanded its distribution arrangement with OTC Markets Group to include OTC Markets Group's End-of-Day Pricing Data for OTCQX®, OTCQB® and Pink® securities.

OTC Markets Group's End-of-Day Pricing Service will provide Thomson Reuters clients with a daily snapshot of the closing bid and offer price, market designation and other security information for all OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink securities. End-of-Day Data may be used for portfolio pricing and valuation, investment accounting, clearing and settlement, client statement preparation and current and historical research and is integral to the calculation of net capital and net asset value. OTC Markets Group is the recognized Level 1 price source for valuing OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink securities by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
