What is infowiz?
InfoWiz is the JSE's world class Live Public Data Delivery System.
InfoWiz (an equivalent of LMIL - London Market Information Link), is the result of a partnership with the London Stock Exchange (LSE), hence the actual system is housed at the LSE.
Connectivity to InfoWiz is achieved either linking directly to the LSE or via the JSE hub.
Live intraday indices data is broadcast out in BDG's (Broadcast Data Groups), using multicast technology.
To subscribe to Live Indices data, 2 generic interfaces are accessed namely:
- Broadcast interface (BI) - for bulk delivery of data to subscribers and,
- Interactive Request Interface (IRI) for re-requesting broadcasts.
2. Who may subscribe?
This live indices data is mainly subscribed to by parties such as Information Vendors, JSE members and Financial Institutions, who have signed the following JSE contracts:
JSA - JSE Services Agreement, (this agreement covers the connection and testing of the live services)
FIDA- FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series Information Distribution Agreement, (this agreement covers the subscription and usage of public data - Live Indices values - to view, print or download this document, go to Agreements and click on FIDA as well as Schedules to FIDA)

Delayed Equity and Indices Information:
The option to delay Live Indices is available. The delay permitted by the JSE is 15 minutes after the live data is broadcast. The JSE only offers connection to Live Indices, meaning that the client needs to delay the Live Indices in order to qualify for the reduced fees.
