    AS ONE OF NASDAQ’S LONGEST-STANDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, THE NASDAQ FUND NETWORK WAS ORIGINALLY LAUNCHED IN 1984 UNDER THE NAME ‘MUTUAL FUND QUOTATION SERVICE’ WHERE IT GAINED SUCCESS AS THE SOLE VENUE IN THE U.S. TO PROVIDE SEARCHABLE SYMBOLS FOR MUTUAL FUNDS. TODAY, NFN HAS EXPANDED TO BRING MORE AWARENESS AND TRANSPARENCY TO SEVERAL OTHER ASSET CLASSES. IT HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING PRODUCT ISSUERS GAIN POPULARITY WITH INVESTORS IN A TRANSPARENT MANNER. 

    While the name has changed, our value proposition has not. NFN delivers the same market-tested services to enhance discoverability, transparency, and reach for investment products, helping asset managers and issuers grow assets.
