FTSE Term SONIA

Clients around the world trust us to provide benchmarks such as WMR with transparency and integrity. Now you can trust us to do the same with FTSE Term SONIA. 

The FTSE Term SONIA benchmark is a forward-looking, risk-free reference rate available in 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenors denominated in sterling and designed to be an alternative to GBP LIBOR.

On 5 March 2021 the FCA confirmed that all GBP LIBOR settings would cease or no longer be representative. That means market participants must seek alternative rates and in many cases a Term SONIA Reference Rate will be suitable.

FTSE Term SONIA is published to 4 decimal places, thereby ensuring consistency with the Bank of England’s SONIA benchmark.

Our rate is viewed by hundreds of clients worldwide.
