Syndication Ratios

It is important to understand exactly how many people you are sharing the service with. The BCI suggests that ratios between 25:1 and 40:1 are generally available, so each seat in a recovery centre could potentially be sold up to a maximum of 40 times.

However, the Financial Services Authority review following the events of 9/11 found that some firms had bought access to services which had already been sold between five and 60 times, so it seems there is a fairly broad range in practice.

ICM Subscription Rates

ICM has been using a standard ratio of 25:1 for several years. This figure has arisen from a combination of actual invocation experience, financial modelling, some science, the published professional standards and our intention to have the capacity for regular client testing of all assets up to twice a year. Thus 25:1 for around 50 working weeks in a year (excluding Christmas holidays).
