SOURCE AND SPEED
Accurate and dependable data is of the highest importance to us and our customers. We rely solely on data from official company filings or trustworthy primary sources for all updates to PaperFree’s Professional Service. This guarantees we can also provide transparency to the source used for various updates. Third-party contributors are subject to stringent quality checks for all data received. Date updates are handled in a timely manner so that they are available to clients as and when they need access to it.
1. Stock Exchange of Thailand: Data is used directly from this exchange to update fundamentals data, indices, and funds.
2. Other primary sources: Estimates are contributed by global and local brokerages. Some local sell side firms that contribute estimates data to PaperFree include Asia Plus, Seamico Securities and SCB Securities. FTSE, S&P, and MSCI are used to update indices. FX data is sourced real-time from third-party contributors, which includes various banks and brokers. These contributors can be seen directly on ALLQ<Go>. Funds data is sourced directly from each funds’ management company, with additional information from the Stock Exchange of Thailand for listed funds.
3. Timing of updates: For fundamentals, critical data points such as revenue and net income are updated within minutes of receipt of the related public announcement, and full financials for large cap indexed companies are updated within one day. Daily holdings transactions are captured off of exchange filings and updated at the end of the trading day. Estimates are updated on PaperFree as soon as one hour after we receive them from each contributor. Index prices are updated real-time, and all indices are priced at least once per day on an end-of-day basis. Fund prices are updated as soon as we receive the NAV data from the contributing management company or the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
