Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Unilateral Fee Reclassification

critical addon

LSEG has been reported to unilaterally reclassify what was previously non-billable as billable with zero notice and zero discussion, effectively doubling fees overnight for existing customers.

Now, under LSEG's control and being locked in due to a 12 month notice period, it is patently unfair for LSEG to unilaterally change the way they charge and reclassify what was previously not billable as billable with ZERO notice and ZERO discussion. They have effectively doubled our (already expensive) fees overnight and we're locked in for 12 months!

2

Long Notice Period Lock-In

high compliance

Customers report being locked into 12-month notice periods, meaning even if pricing changes become unfavorable, they cannot exit the contract without continuing to pay for up to a year.

I cancelled my subscription for workspace a year ago and they continue to send me invoices. No chance to contact anybody. This organisation is a nightmare, much worse then Reuters or Refinitiv.

4

High Cost Relative to Alternatives

The second group comprises paid expensive providers like Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and FactSet. These are some of the best in the industry, but they are ridiculously expensive options, mostly out of reach for retail traders.
