Compustat Data Enhancements Available through Research Insight and Compustat Xpressfeed
Increased Korean Company Population
Standard & Poor's Compustat continues its commitment to covering the world markets by increasing its Korean company population in its database. Through a recent agreement with the Korean Listed Companies Association (KLCA), Compustat has begun to provide fundamental and market data for companies incorporated in Korea. The first set of KLCA data that has been incorporated into Compustat database focuses on industrial consolidated Korean companies currently listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX) with market capitalization greater than $US 10 million. Annual fundamental and market data is from 1993 forward. With the growth of Compustat's Korean company data, Standard & Poor's has taken another step towards making Compustat the global leader in fundamental and market data.
Additional Enhancements
Compustat will provide index-level data for 3800 MSCI Equity Indices, which are widely used in the global equity markets. These benchmark indices serve as performance gauges and research tools. By integrating MSCI index level data into the Compustat database and platforms, users will be able to follow equity market performance in developed and emerging markets, but will not have to use their own technical resources to bring the data into their templates and models.
Compustat introduces 11 new SFAS 157 & 159 supplemental data items (annual and quarterly). The new items provide the ability to assess the relative reliability of fair value measurements over time for a particular company, as well as relative to peer institutions. In order to provide additional details and visibility, Compustat will also deliver analyst notes and transparency for Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Compustat Snapshot
Institutional investors and portfolio managers who want to extend the scope of their backtesting models to the international markets will be able to take advantage of Compustat Snapshot, Compustat's new global backtesting database, available as an add-on to Compustat Xpressfeed. This database offers historical snapshots of Compustat global data for any given date. It consists of annual and interim fundamental data from the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement for approximately 26,000 active and inactive non-North American companies. In addition, it includes corporate action information, as well as issue-level information. This data set alleviates such backtesting challenges as restatements and look-ahead biases.
