Creating a database in ArbMaker is a straightforward upload of a .csv or .txt file. But as with all databases the file preparation – especially consistent, word perfect classification of companies by sector and industry – is meticulous work critical to maintaining the overall integrity of the database.
Because this is regarded as fun by only a select few we have put together a few thousand symbols for users. These are cut by country, exchange, sector and industry and will be included in our biannual and annual subscription deals on demand.
There is currently symbol data for 24 countries lining up like this:
NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX (>6,600 symbols)
Bloomberg Bovespa Index components
LSE mid & large caps sample (>500 symbols)
Norway OBX (26 symbols)
Denmark C20
XETRA mid & large caps sample (>90 symbols)
Zurich SMI
IBEX 35
Milan MIB
ISEQ 20
Euronext mid & large caps sample (>400 symbols from France, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal)
