StreetsTalksTo The Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB)
In this episode, Julia Streets sits down with Emma Kalliomaki to explore the critical role of the Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB) as the "golden source" of reference data for the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market. As the industry transitions from rapid regulatory implementation to a "steady state," Emma discusses how standardised identifiers (OTC ISIN, UPI, CFI) and global collaboration continue to drive market transparency and reduce operational and regulatory burden for its 1,900+ users worldwide.
Key Highlights
Evolution from Implementation to Stabilisation: After eight years of operation and following the successful global rollout of the Unique Product Identifier (UPI) into the Identifier framework for OTC Derivatives over the last couple of years, the DSB's user base has expanded from regulators and reporting firms to a much broader community. The DSB is therefore transitioning to a discovery-led approach focussed on deepening their understanding of how their data is accessed, used and integrated across an increasingly diverse ecosystem
Commitment to Fair Cost Allocation and Transparency: As a market utility, with a user base expanding to include a vast network of indirect and non-fee-paying entities, the DSB remains committed to its core principle of fair allocation of cost
The episode emphasises the importance of the Annual Industry Consultation, calling for diverse stakeholders, from boutique buy-side firms to global sell-side institutions, to provide feedback on DSB service evolution and the equitable distribution of costs.

StreetsTalksTo Net Purpose
In this episode of StreetsTalksTo, Julia Streets is joined by Sam Duncan, Founder and CEO of Net Purpose, to discuss the critical evolution of sustainable capitalism. Following Net Purpose's landmark acquisition of the Sustainable Development Investments Asset Owner Platform (SDI AOP), the conversation explores how granular data and standardised classification are moving sustainability from a niche reporting requirement to a core pillar of financial materiality and fiduciary duty.
Key episode highlights include:
Strategic Consolidation for Market Clarity: Net Purpose's acquisition of the SDI AOP signifies a major consolidation in the ESG data landscape. By joining forces with a platform founded by four of the world's largest asset allocators (including APG and AustralianSuper), Net Purpose is streamlining methodologies to provide investors with a "single source of truth" for mapping corporate performance against UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) and Workflow Integration: Net Purpose is pivoting the sustainability conversation toward technical ease and scalability. Throughout 2026, the firm is prioritising the launch of integrated datasets, starting with the high-impact energy sector, delivered via API and major platform integrations. This enables investment managers and CFOs to treat social and environmental metrics with the same rigor and workflow efficiency as traditional financial returns.
The Rise of the "Sustainability Improver": The discussion focuses on the pragmatic shift in regulation, specifically the UK's SDR (Sustainability Disclosure Requirements) and highlights the importance of the "improvers" category, noting that while only a small fraction of the market is currently 100% sustainable, the greatest opportunity for capital allocation lies in supporting the 80% of businesses currently "in transition."
