Latest Release

Last night we added over 700 additional stocks, most of them SPACs or recent IPOs, to All Fundamentals USA, as well as some more stocks to All Fundamentals CAN and All Stocks (both countries). These stocks will show up in screens, ranking systems, and so on, but will not immediately show up in simulations; their first as-of date is yesterday’s (10/26/2021), and prior to that they were not available.

Due to a known limitation, these stocks were hidden from our universes, even though they were showing up in ticker searches and FactSet had the data for them. We’ve now fixed this. At some point we will be loading their histories as well.

How are SPACs categorized and found via filter / screen / rules, universes etc.?

Yuval,
Can you add one or more Universes called “SPACS 2021” or “IPOS 2021” to reflect these additional symbols, so that we can more easily regression test our models? (using Universe(“SPACS 2021”) = False, or such.)
Thanks-

If you create a universe starting with All Stocks with the following rule you’ll get almost exclusively recent SPACS:

RBICS(30201020) and #APeriods < 2

If you want only the recently added symbols, add another rule:

FHist(“1”,3)

This rule will fail if the stock wasn’t in our database 3 weeks ago.
