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!
