Easy
Data Download

Nikkei has improved the usability of FinancialQUEST; databases are structured into Corporate Information, Stock & Debenture, Commodities and Economics to provide easy navigation and to ensure that you find the data you need as quickly as possible.

Detailed
Search Function

The detailed search function allows you to control and filter by exact criteria, turning FinancialQUEST into one of the most powerful data search applications available and enabling you to combine data from separate NEEDS databases, for instance, corporate fundamentals analysis with quantitative equity analysis.

Improved
Efficiency

Search conditions can now be saved and loaded, enabling you to repeat the same search task without re-selecting the search conditions. You also have the ability to choose the layout of the data output, which enables you to align the data to your existing spreadsheets, saving you valuable time.
