As Symphony emerges from private beta to public, will the Wall Street backed platform meet expectations of disrupting the terminal sector.
Launching publicly last week is secure messaging platform, Symphony. Previously in private beta with 30,000 users, the firm’s enterprise edition is earning the distinction of a being referred to a ‘Bloomberg killer’ as it battles against the financial giant’s Terminal business. But can Symphony really be a Bloomberg killer, and what are the ramifications to the rest of the fintech market?
Why everyone wants to kill Kenny Bloomberg?
The first question is what’s so special about Bloomberg that every now and then we hear about a ‘mythical’ Bloomberg killer arriving to dethrone the giant. The short answer is $$$ and lots of it. At an estimated 300,000 Bloomberg Terminal users that are paying $20,000 a year for the product, it is a $6 billion market that fintech firms are aiming to disrupt. And, it’s not just Bloomberg, taking into account 200,000 Reuters Terminal users, and the market for financial terminals calculates to about $10 billion in yearly costs absorbed by financial firms that include the largest banks, brokers, asset managers, hedge funds and professional traders.
What do you get for $20,000?
The truth is that Bloomberg has done a great job of adding lots of features and tools to their Terminal to entice users to remain on the platform. At its core, the Bloomberg Terminal provides real time headlines, news, data on nearly every asset type and global market, company financial data, and analysis tools.
Most notable among the Terminal’s free features, is its messaging platform. The system connects all Terminal users and has become the social network for Wall Street where they can share trading ideas, receive advice, create private groups and in the case of the FX Fix rigging scandal, collaborate to manipulate the market. Allowing users to message each both in and out of their company, the messaging platform’s hold as the social network of Wall Street has led it to become so popular that there are plenty of users that primary only use the Terminal for messaging.
$20,000 just for messaging?
In an era where messaging platforms and social networks are a multi-billion dollar market, with products like Facebook, Twitter, SnapChat and WhatsApp garnering massive valuations, Bloomberg is unique in that it actually charges for services that are nearly always free. The value though isn’t with Bloomberg’s messaging platform, as much as for exclusivity of its network. As long as banks and buy-side funds believe they are recouping their $20,000 a year investment by having the Terminal, they will continue to avail it for their employees.
Why do we care about Symphony?
With that in mind, simply marketing to Wall Street a messaging platform isn’t enough to dethrone Bloomberg. Yes, Symphony has created a product that they believe will satisfy the needs of financial clients such as focusing on security and compliance. The product is also priced at $30 a month which at $360 a year compares to Bloomberg’s $20,000. However, without the network of important users, Symphony isn’t much different from any other free or low cost solutions like Skype or Slack.
The reason why people believe ‘this time it’s different’ is that Symphony is backed by Wall Street itself. In October 2014, a consortium of investment banks and buy-side firms led by Goldman Sachs invested $66 million in Symphony (previously named Perzo). Included in the deal are a who’s who of global financial firms including Citi, Citadel, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, BlackRock and UBS. As a result, Symphony isn’t just coming to market being targeted at financial firms, but those very same firms are the stakeholders to promote its use and to create a viable Bloomberg Terminal messaging network.
RGE vs NRGE
The question remains whether people will actually leave the Terminal? In this regard, the final answer is expected to come down to economics. If the Symphony network becomes established enough where minimal Terminal users are getting 95% of what they need from the messaging platform, then the $360 vs $20,000 equation becomes a compelling one for companies to decrease their Bloomberg users.
Specifically, it can be expected that the decision of whether to get rid of the Terminal for employees is whether they are RGEs or NRGEs. The Sesame Street Wall Street letters of the day equate to; RGE – Revenue Generating Employees versus NRGEs – Non-Revenue Generating Employees.
Overall, the Bloomberg killer question will come down to money. For big swingers such as traders and key analysts that use many features of the Terminal and rely on the messaging platform for their trades, the use cases are expected to continue to justify the costs. But, for NRGEs that simply have basic needs of the Terminal but use the messaging platform, a lower cost alternative like Symphony becomes a compelling case for financial firms.
Unbundling finance – where things become interesting
While financial firms may find Symphony to be a lower cost alternative for their employees, the reality is that the Bloomberg Terminal offers many other non-messaging features that will have to be replaced. For the rest of the fintech sector, the unbundling of the Terminal creates an opportunity for providers of niche services.
In regards to Symphony itself, the firm has been reported to be experimenting with a market data solution that users only pay for searched queries and requested information. Such a solution would be similar to that of SuperDerivatives which markets customized data services.
Other unbundling opportunities are in real time news and sentiment analysis sector, where many startups have been creating products to alert traders of upcoming moves in the market. Other niches are for illiquid assets, where a number of new firms are providing solutions to value and analyze securities where price discovery is minimal.
Overall, it remains to be seen whether Symphony’s messaging platform becomes a real alternative to Bloomberg’s. But, if it can, then more than being a Bloomberg killer, it has the ability to usher in a new wave of unbundling the financial market data market, and putting $10 billion of the sector up for grabs.

The trades that taught me the most aren't the ones that worked. They're the ones that didn't — or the ones I almost caught and didn't have the nerve to ride. In this session, I'll tell you about the Brexit miss, the SNB shocker that nearly handed me a 5400% return, the BoJ surprise that punched me in the gut, and a few wins along the way. Each story carries a lesson, but the lessons aren't the point. Everyone who trades long enough collects a portfolio of moments like these; what separates the people who stay in the game is what they do with them.

Most market post-mortems describe what happened to prices. Few describe what happened in the trading room while the position was open: the entry conviction, the moments that tested it, and the exit decision that closed the book.
This session brings one seasoned trader to the stage for an unfiltered account of the position that still defines how they think about markets.
Attendees will walk away with:
-A first-hand account of how a conviction trade is built, from thesis and entry through position management and exit
-Understanding of what turns a market observation into a live position, and what holds it when conditions shift
-Insight into how timing, execution quality, and market structure shaped the final result
-Perspective on what the trade revealed about edge, risk tolerance, and when to hold through a position moving against you
-Clarity on what separates a well-built trade from a well-timed one

As crypto and CFD trading continue to expand across Africa, access to advanced tools and market insights remains uneven. This session explores how AI and blockchain can bridge that gap by empowering informal traders and underserved communities to participate more effectively in digital financial markets. The discussion will focus on practical applications of technology to improve accessibility, education, and investment outcomes in both formal and informal sectors.
In this discussion, we will explore:
-The role of AI in democratizing access to trading tools, insights, and strategy development
-How crypto and blockchain can enable broader participation beyond traditional financial systems
-Addressing access barriers: infrastructure, education, and affordability in underserved communities
-Opportunities for brokers and platforms to tap into the informal trading economy
