Asian and Global Data are Coming!

Dear All,

We have started the project to add Asia, Australia and emerging markets. We've been looking at the data FactSet delivered to us and everything looks good. Data seems clean, with good coverage. The new regions will be similar in size to North America and Europe, so at least 10K+ new stocks to chose from. Development work will start soon.

Pledges

For those who pledged in the Sponsored Projects Add Asian and Emerging Markets (REVISED)

Thank You!!!

Sorry for taking so long.

We will be closing the the Poll next week on Wednesday. You can revise , add or remove your pledge until then. When we sign the contract for the data we will process the pledges (either with invoices or credit card).

The project states it is a 4 month project. I think it will be less since we already did the hard stuff for Europe (FX and primary issues). You never know of course, but we will keep you updated.

Thanks again for your support. I have a call with FactSet on Thursday so let me know if you have specific questions.

Cheers

PS. Don't forget you get a $1.20 for every $1 you pledged. If we complete the project in less than 4 months, that's a pretty good return. So feel free to increase your pledge!

Fantastic news. With the booming emergence of AI agents and vibecoding software, giving subscribers access to these kinds of unique datasets via API calls is really a powerful tool that separates P123 from other services. The more datasets the better.

Also, timing couldn’t be better imo…

“Emerging markets” make up 61% of world GDP in terms of Purchasing Power Parity and about 42% in nominal GDP terms. It is a pretty large sandbox when you add it all up. Most of my retirement portfolio is EM. Hopefully we get it 2026 :slight_smile:. Looking forward to finding more hidden and not so hidden gems

Seems relevant. I think somewhere along the way people were discussing whether foreign investors could trade Korean securities.
