FactSet's users of NASDAQ Basic also receive data from two other NASDAQ trading venues: NASDAQ OMX BX®(BX®) and NASDAQ OMX PSXSM(PSXSM), thanks to FactSet's provision of NASDAQ Last Sale Plus. NASDAQ Basic can be deployed in a variety of investor tools, such as last sale displays, charts and portfolio trackers.
